crowd and a very pleasant excursion
to Pen-Mar, last Saturday. The day
was bright and cool, and everybody
enjoyed themselves.
! Members of the Harrisburg, Pa,
Band were there, and extended the
Mechanics Band some kind and well
deserved compliments. Mr.. Geo.
Frankenberry, who plays one of the
bass horns received number of COM
pliments from members of the Har-
risburg Band, upon his proficiency in
execution, and especially in notes of

The Lawn Festival given in the
grounds attached to st. Joseph's
school, on Saturday evening last, was

ed like a luminous exaggerated edi-
ton of the hanging gardens of Baby
lon, filled with youth and beauty,
and music, and mayhap little senti-
ment.
The concert given in connection
with the Festival was very fine, and
was participated in by some of our
pest local talent; they met with fire.
