Il is less than ten months since this band
organized, yet they play charmingly-suita-
bly, for any sort of entertainment. They
seemed to have an inexhaustible number of
pieces ready for call, and on this occasion
had to do double duty. There was no vocal
music prepared, and the band had to fill yo-
cal omissions. They were uniformed, and
looked as well as played, well.

paper may be rather highly scientific for most
readers, and yet il shows for itself there is no
pure science in it. II is all conjectural. The
article is pretty smooth reading, and yet
seems to be the product of brain exercised
more by what it don't know than what Il
does. 1t is clipped from copy of the Edin.
burg Scotsman handed US through favor of
Mr.. Pratt. The name of the writer is not
given.

is also good cultivator.

of it Island gives them all a chance" And
the good songstress and angelic woman says
this is why she likes America.
