The Belleville Ontario Daily Intel
Hgencer, in leading out in a half col
umn editorial has this to say about a
complimentary concert gotten up by
Mr.. Riggs, formerly of this city: GAS
we predicted, the concert which was
given last evening in the Metropolitan
Hall for the benefit of Mr.. Riggs,
leader of the Odd fellows Band, was
by far the mos. successful secular con-
cert which has been held in Belleville
this season. The audience was not
only large. but was select and appre-
ciative, and, if anything, rather too
enthusiastic. Considering the length
of the programme the encores were
altogether too numerous. There were
II numbers on the programme, but
so importunate was the audience that
that the total number of selections
performed was 81" The Daily Ont
ario also speaks veay highly of the
concert. Mr.. Riggs friends here are
pleased to know of his success in
Belleyille.
