G. A. B,-The Grand Army Band Of this city
went to Akron last Saturday to give concert be-
sides the band there were number of specially
and solo performers, including Charlie schlling
in hismusical specalties, Miss Ella Daugherty,
Mrs. James A. Reynolds, little Katie Huntington,
and Others They went there with expectat lons and
assurances of having big house but were Sisap-
pointed. The expenses Of the trip amounted to
about one hundred and twenty-five dollars, and
their receipts covered about sixty.five dollars.
Since their return we understand the members Of
the band have uttered great deal of complaint
against Akron generally and the Akron city band
in particular, and their complaints so far as we
are able TO judge OF them, are well founded and
sustained, We are sorry the first venture of the
band away from home panned out so poorly, bnt
the result, taking all things into consideration,
is nearly o natural one.
