AS had been previously announced in
THE RECORD of last week, the New Hope
Cornet Band visited the Doylestown Cor
net Band, last evening, in response to a
cordial invitation extended to them by
the members of that organization. The
members of our band left here about $50
P. NJ, occupying their handsome band
chariot to their place of destination
After pleasant ride, enlivened by music,
they arrived at their destination, having
gone the entire distance without stopping
at any of the intervening villages. At
the entrance of Doylestown, near the
Catholic Church, our boys were met by
their musical brethren, who came in
marching order to meet them. The form
er then alighted from their chariot and
were escorted through the streets of the
town to the Doylestown Skating Rink,
which had been engaged for the purpose
of holding the entertainment 10 1t. Here
our boys found large tables nearly the
length of the rink floor, literally loaded
, with all the delieacies of the season, ant
, after few tunes were played they set te
with WILL and succeeded in doing ample
, justice to the generous provisions of theiI
warm hearted friends. 1t is needless t.
) speak of the method of disposing of the
, choice viands as INDUCED in by our boys
Their reputation in this line has been
fully established from the time of theil
first efforts at assimilating the 'lactea
fluid" to the strong days of a hearty
: manhood. The tables rejoiced as they
felt their burden growing lighter and
lighter. The fair sex were out in all
their beauty and elegance and all seemed
to vie with each other in their efforts to
please the taste of their guests, and In all
respects they were not disappointed
New Hope may be reckoned a quite staid
place, but when her delegates are abroad
they can show full appreciation for the
good and lovely. After the repast, dane
ing was INDUCED in by the guests present,
and the festivities were prolonged to a
late hour, when all parties prepared to say
the farewell, and began their homeward
trip, arriving here about Tie right time,
all satisfied that they had good time of
it, and with many thanks to their Doy-
lestown brothers, whom they expect to
give them return visit soon.
