THE BENEFIT CONCERT TO THE
LEXINGTON SILVER COR
NET BAND.
Good Music and Plenty of Fun.

We regret that lack of time aah space Will pre-
vent ma from giving a very extended notice OF
| the Band Concert, which took place ut iIaScn's
Overa House, last Thursday night. The eve
| ming WAS u pleasant one, and the attendance WAS
yery good. MIR. Hagen mad the hall better lighted
than usual, and the evenings entertainment
would have passed of very pleasantly. ihdeedr
| had it not been for q lot OF ihouShtiess bashi-
Buzooks in the gallery, who laughed anu talked
during the performances. and made most nu-
earthly noises for applause. Cat-calls, whistles.
jewsharps, and beating time with the ieet were
u few Of the detachable noises INDUCED IN, anu
which We hope Will not occur again ut d concert
| in Lexington. The uproar in the gallery depriv-
ed several pieces OF deserved encCres. the auui-
ence down stairs fearing TO start the aboInlHabie
noises overhead. We have never seen such I'M
becoming conduct a. an amateur entertainment
where our ladies appeared upon the stage. ana
hope never to see 1t again. Our young men
should remember that such conduct Is disrespect-
vi to the ladies especially the whistling and beat
ny time, and we feel sure that if they appreciate
this they will desist.
