To the Editor of the Press:
Whatever the character of the performance
and performers inside the Congress Skating
Rink represented by Mr.. Groves is, it is a
fact that filthy, vulgar, obscene, profane and
insulting loafers around the door of said rink
evenings demand the immediate attention of
the police, as they have, by being neglected,
graduated into such british meannesses that
decent people will shun that corner as they
would the Asiatic cholera.

BATH NJ EWS.


The capaeious Alameda never seated SO
large an audience as gathered last evening to
enjoy the rare music of the celebrated Reeves
American Band from Providence, R. l., and
the exhibition drill of the Bath Light Infan-
try. The first people of the city were there,
and many from other towns, a special train
bringing hundred or more OF ladies' and
gentlemen from Wiscassett and DamarlScot-
ia. 1t is needless to say the music was ex-
ceedingly fine as rendered by twenty-five per-
formers Their execution was warmly ap-
plauded and encores called for. The conet
and fife solos were highly enjoyable for their
artistic merit, and each was compelled to re-
peat by the enthusiastic audience.
The musical performance continued to ten
o'clock, when the floor was cleared, and the
soldiers in platoons of fours, marched in
with steady tread and we'll dressed ranks to
the martial music of the band. The company
comprised 26 picked men, commanded by
Capt Henry Howard, the other officers,
Lieuts A. A. Reed and E. Sawyer, falling in
with the line. SO well were the marchings and
evolutions gone through with that applause
often cheered their difficult performances
well executed, showing previous thorough
ness of drill. The silent manual of arms by
music from the band was we'll nigh perfect,
and afforded a pleasing change from march
ings, and brought down a tempest OF ap-
plauSe.
The leader of the band, who has had occa-
sion to witness many similar drills in larger
cities, pronounced this drill far above the
average. This must be accounted the more
complimentary inasmuch as the compare
lively recent organization OF the company
has afforded limited opportunity for instruc-
ton and practice.
The company is composed of fine class of
young men, capable of becoming perfected in
the duties of the soldier unsurpassed by any
others in the State. The citizens take spe-
io1 i,,fa N 10 M h0HnQ
company.
The occasion last night wasIthe event of the
season, and the concert the greatest musical
event in the history of the city.
The Reeves Band and the Light Infantry
went to Gardiner to-day to perform at the
Governors reception tonight.
1t is the first time this noted band has per-
formed in this section of New England. Its
great reputation makes it memorable event,
and shows enterprise and pluck by those in
strumental in procuring it to come so far to
aid in these entertainments.
