The Portland Band.

The Portland Band celebrated its fifty-ifth
anniversary at their band room in Market
Square Wednesday evening. A number of
the old members were present. the oldest being
Major j.. A. Leavitt, who has attended thirty
three anniversaries, the only one he ever missed
being during the war. Mr.. B. A. Hall, who has
been an active member for nineteen years, and
Mr.. S. Bowen, a former member, were among
the older musicians present, also a number of
invited guests. During supper the older mem
bers entertained the company with interesting
anecdotes of the peculiarities of their early
associates, and told many interesting stories of
their former campaigns.
The Portland Band was organized in 1925,
and is the Oldest organization for the perform
ance OF martial music in the State. The band
room has never been changed and is now the
same as is 1925. Some of the finest musicians
in the city have belonged to the band. Kotzsch-
mar was at one time musical director, and Mr.
d. II. Chandler. now of Chandler's Band, was
formerly leader. Mr. Cole retired about two
years ago, and Mr.. Frank L. Collins, formerly
of Chandler's Band, was engaged as leader in
his place. Under the energy of Mr.. Collins
administration of the bands business the nnm-
Der of members has been increased and the
standard of playing has been greatly raised.
Now the band ranks among the best in the
State and has all the business it can attend to.
The present members are young, but they are
developing excellent musical ability.

Lecture by James Rednatb

The lecture by Mr.. James Redpath, the vet
eran abolitionist, on "The irish Land War;"
at City Hall next Wednesday is exciting great
interest. Mr.. Redpath lectures in Montreal
next Tuesday, and it is said an English spy is
dogging his steps. The Dublin Nation of the
Goth of November says:
"Mr. Redpath has proved himself yerv
formidable foe indeed of the infamous land.
lord system The letters he has written and
the speeches he has made, during his brief
visit to Ireland, constitute one of the seyerest
and most effective indictments of that system
ever given to the world, and that his blows
have struck home is shown by the savage but
Intellectual replies they have called forth.
But let the landlord newspapers not be too
sure they have got rid of Mr. Redpath. That
gentleman has merely gone to land which,
after all, is not far away, and where he can
speak his mind even more freely than he has
done here, and we believe that he will make
use OF the opportunity in characteristic
