SoUTH WATERFORD, March l4.-Our Band
took trip 10 Maple, last Thursday, March
9Th, by invitation Of the Naples Band. \
dramatic entertainment was given by the
people of Naples for the benefit of their
Band. There was not n very full house,
owing 10 the snow storm which prevailed
all the afternoon and evening. The South
Waterford Band discourSed music between
acts, and did themselves credit. Previous
70 the play the Naples Band rendered a few
selections, and we think they play very
welltor ayoung band The drama, "Foiled, -
was quite lengthy, occupying about two
and a half hours. Amer the play the com
pany adjourned TO Grange Hall and dis
cuSSed an oyster supper. Ii was voted that
the Band from Waterford got the best OF
the discussion. They always beat-at the
table. AMER supper the company enjoyed
dance from y 80 to O'Clock. Music by
south Waterford Quadrille o. Band-9o
pieces. Mr.. Corbctt, leader. The band
spent the night at Naples, returning home
the next day at noon. Everybody had a
splendid time, and all feel under obligation
for the entertainment they received at the
hands of the Neapolitans.
Forty-three couples attended the twenty
five cent dance at Village Hall Monday, the
10th Music by Corbett's Band. 5. L.
Knight, prompter, Gene" Nelson, (the
cook floor director. This was one ofthose
real social times. Everyone was full OF
dance, aud they seemed to be bent on en-.
loving themselves about all they could. We
shall all attend the next hceRty:dre center.
Still another dance was given at Village
Hall Tuesday evening, March 18th. Music
by Gees Band, of Bridgton. There were
about forty paying couples present. The
full Cadet Street Band was present and gave
a concert.
Several couples from South Waterford
visited Bridgton Tuesday evening, and at,
tended a dance at Central Hall, given by A.
O. b. Corbett,->ix pieces of music, Mr.
Gibson, prompter. 1t was a very pleasant
dance and all enjoyed it hugely. Dancing
is just beginning to get interesting You
have only to "hire hall, and advertise
two hours and half and you are sure o.
forty couples. We heard Of one though
where there were only twelve couples, but
that was an exceptional case.
We forgot to say in our last that the ''ol(
fox hunters" were out last week and cap
tured the boss fox, measuring four feet 81,
inches. There is new dog in the villag,
now. and we shall look for fox sir fee
