THE BAND CONCERT.

The concert by the Westminster Band will
come off at Odd Fellows Hall next Monday
evening, as ANNOUNCED in the ADVOCATE two
weeks ago.
Those who attended their last concert,
which was so enjoyable, and showed remark
able proficiency in the organization, will be
more than pleased if they attend on Monday
night. As heretofore stated, the program
will be more varied, and the concert more
enjoyable. The Band will render overtures,
marches and waltzes, and there will be sew
eral cornet solos, and several quartets. In
addition musical genius from another city,
who has kindly consented to assist the Band,
will introduce several novel instruments, and
will add further variety to the program.
Since the engagement of Mr.. Chas. KEEP
pier, the Band has taken fresh start. The
members evince more interest, and there is
an evident desire to make the organization
second to none, among amateurs. and credit
to the city. The money realized from their
concerts is all applied to the improvement of
the Band-to the purchase of instruments,
music, &c. Let the people show their appre-
citation by filling the Hall on Monday night,
and they will not only be amply repaid, but
will realize further pleasure by the open air
concerts during the summer months.

BASE BALL FESTIVAL.

The festival for the benefit of base ball has
been postponed until the second weekln May.
The management hope to make the affair one
of true enjoyment and pleasure. They want
the co operation of all the citizens, and the
active aid of the young ladies of the city.
The festival will be held in the rink, COM
modious place, which will be prettily deco
rated and lighted on the occasion. The at
fractions will be luscious strawberries, cooling
ice cream and water ices, delicious cake,
handsome bellies, music, &c.
The object of the festival is to raise funds to
meet unpaid obligations from last season.
And, if the affair should be such a success as
is anticipated, it is probable that club will
be organized in June, for three months
season. The return of Driscoll Will render
the organization less expensive and the CLUB
can be made up largely of home players, as 1t
is not intended that it shall go away to play
The clubs of 1884 and 1885 were fine teams,
and made better records than any amateur
engaged in the sport. They furnished pleasure
and recreation during the summer months,
when business is almost at a standstlll, for
those who can't afford other recreation, as
well as for others, and in addition did more
to advertise the place and bring Westminster
into more prominence than anything the city
has done for some years. The city might as
well have club this season, not only because
of the amusement one would afford, nor be-
cause good club is a good advertisement,
but because sufficient amount to maintain
one will be spent by persons going to see
games at Baltimore, which money might as
we'll be kept here. In addition good club
will draw people and trade to Westminster.
