TOWANDA, NAV G

The first Park Concert of the season given
by the Germania Band last evening was
most refreshing revelation of the sure arrival
of gentle balmy spring. 1t was welcomed as
such, Notwithstanding the morning rain and
cloudy skies of the day, by the gathering of
hundreds of our citizens and strangers in and
around the Park. The Germanias show dill
gent practice and skillful training since last
season. OF the program, most of the numb
ers were in the form of overtures, embracing
a variety of movements. The performance
of them was admirable. The balance of har-
mony, which varies so much in country bands,
was very good and the combined parts were
well sustained in correctness of tone and
unity OF movement. A pleasant feature of
the occasion was the presence of fmanyIlads and
lasses, of early teens in age, who quietly gave
expression to their delight by improyislng a
dance and circling in pairs around the pagoda
in step with the waltz measure of one of the
best numbers.
