Those who attended the Concert at
Hancock Hall on Tuesday evening had the
pleasure OF listening to some Of the finest
music that has been heard in Ellsworth
tor long time. Mr.. Barker. the leader Of
the Orchestra, is a native of this city, and
was warmly greeted by his many friends
on that occasion. His selections were very
fine, and as they were carefully executed
by the orchestra, they elicted frequent and
hearty applause. The "Operatic Selec-
tons" by Mozart, were encored. which
brought out '.Grandfather's Clock" In nne
style. While this was greatly enjoyed, the
audience would not be content until the
piece which gave rise to the encore WAS
repeated. The Ball. following the Concert,
WAS also a grand success. and lasted into
small hour, OF the New Year. Our citizens
are under great obligations to the Engine
and Hose Company that WAS instrumental
In furnishing such rlusical treat.
