vocal and Instrumental Concert.

The committee that presented Sau- All Brah
and Stuart Rogers to Westminster audiences
have the pleasure of announcing that they
have made an engagement with the Rock Band
Concert Company, of London, England, who
will appear at Odd Fellows Hall on Thursday
evening, February 4th.
The Company is travelling in this country
this season. They are vocalists and instru-
mentalists, presenting program that IS
varied, novel, attractive and pleasing. The
chief novelty is music extracted from rock,
on an instrument called the Rock Harmon,
con. which consists of pieces of rock of varied
lengths and widths, of FIVE octaves compass.
The music of the Harmonicon, or Piano, as
called by some, is said to be sweeter and
more charming than Swiss bells, and the Rock
Band Company are the originators of the in
strument 1t took eleven years to perfect it,
and in Europe and this country large audiences
have been delighted and charmed with its soft
tones and delicious music.
The Company introduce also the. Ocarina,
an ancient and rare instrument, Xylophone,
Either, musical nails, musical glasses, fairy
bells, musical boot-jack, and other novelties.
Besides, the Company are excellent vocalists,
and render solos, Duets and quartetts of a
high order of merit, and with expression and
power.
Sucn aIIractlOuS are OHiy W ue enJoySu III
large cities, and it is hoped the citizens of
Westminster and vicinity will show their APP
probation by filling the hall on the occasion
of their visit.
The Company is strongly endorsed by the
London Times, London Standard, Prot. Rus
kin, Sir Wilfred Lawson, Rev. Henry Bolland,
Vicar of the st. James, Northampton and
Rural Dean; Lord Winmarleigh, Rev. Charles
Garrett, President of the Wesleyan Confer
ence, Lady Beehive, and many others. In
this country the Band appeared recently be.
fore an audience of 1000 at the Academy of
Music, Philadelphia, and before an audience
of l 400 in Boston.
This is the last entertainment the committee
will give, and will be decidedly the best, and
very likely it will be the last one of much merit
here this winter.
The seats in the hall will be numbered, and
diagrams may be seen at Huber's and Boyle s
drug stores, where seats may be reserved and
tickets be obtained.
