 l. t4JioN all '-- ---z A-- l.s..laulE a n 1 | ..'' 'l'l WARREN, Sept. list. 1877. 'i EDITOR ENoU1RER:--I think that the matter of Fhomaston Band versns Warren Band need ds a little explanation as. your criticism of the Warren Band seems some what unjust to those who have the best chance to know all about the motives that caused the unfortunate mistake made by the Warren Band. The latter band had
 been invited to Litchfield by some of the citizens, with the understanding that the people of l.. would be glad to hear them at any tine, and they had embarked for that place. bag and baggage, trumpets and drums, before they heard of the ad-. vertised concert of the Thomaston Band. l As for their playing with an idea of being compared 5avorably with an old
 and established band like the Thomaston Band it is simply absurd, when we have
 knowledge of the fact that the Warren boys, like ell young musicians in like cir, cumstanoes. felt completely aunihilated
 and overcome with adpiration at the first blast of the Thomaston music, as was | illustrated by the remark of the fbasso of. the Warren Band who expressed firm, determination to bury his instrument and
 hereafter hide his musical talents in the
 scripturaI bushel. The breaking in upon
 the Thomaston program would seem like an uniustifable affair, but that was also the result of the mistaken impression held by the Warren boys that the concert was
 ended and they would wish to apologize
 to MT. Grilley for their mistake, ,a''' t- ,9n. Allow me fartheE 1to say that thes band return their heartlest thanks for the boun- tifuI entertainment provided for them at
 the United States Hotel and would hope
 to be enabled to reyisit sLitchfeld under more favorable circumstanees.L Loza ' ia,.I f '' '''''' s'i@' nA'TonUUonHY MUSICIAN. I f.d, NEW PRESTON, Sept 1st, 1877.
