LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
WHAT IS THE MATTER "A writer for a
local pspsr, who hides his individuality
under the non de plume Of "One of the
Workers" says very sareastically that, after
reading articles in the RECORD. UNION, he is
convinced that open-air concerts srs great
evil and should be suppressed. An anecdo.e
Of On IrlshmeD, which had no apparent con-
nection, is given as an illustration, and the
article closes with some "hodge uo1ge -
about " skylaTking and bOiBterous conduct Z"
at the concerts. The RECORD UNION has
never even intimsted that there was any
boisterous conduct or "skylarking during
this season, and believes there ueYer has been
disturbance Of any kind which called
for the attention Of those appointed to keep
order, much lees for newspaper notice.
Far from making any disparaging comments
on the concerts OF the managers, the RECORD.
UNION has never mentioned them but to
praise. In one instance it was stated that
waiting crowd "grumbled some because the
concert did not begin until a half hour after
the supposed time, and the next sentence ex.
planned that the delay was occasioned by the
band waiting for some Of its members to
arrive on the San Francisco train. The esti-
nation in which the concerts are held by the
citizens was illustrated last evening by the
attendance Of at least 1900 people at the
City Plaza to hear the music discoursed by
the First Artillery Band. As heretofore,
there was not the slightest disturbance
