The Great Western Band !

Mr.. Humphrey Directs a Concert
that is seldom EquaIed- Large
Attendance, Indictment Weather.
In pursuance of the announcement
in our columns last week, the Great
Western Band, of Akron, under the
baton of &. L. Humphrey, played at
the County Fair on Friday last, and
gave an open air Concert on the Public
Square in the evening. The presence
of this fine organization, in their
tasteful uniforms, was an event."
Their splendid music at the Fair
Grounds was frequently applauded. 1t
remained, however, for the evening
concert to develop the possibilities in
herent in their drill.
At 7:31 p. m.. the Square and its
surroundings, balconies, windows.

was occupied by ladies and gentlemen
wrapped in heavy clothing. Drawing
the cold weather to listen. The elabo-
rate program, which is republished be-
low, was rendered in grand style. num-
bers ten and eleven being omitted
owing to the lsteness of the hour. It
would be hard to discriminate as to
which of the compositions "took" the
best, but we venture to say that Ray
monde" The Vacant Chair" with
cornet variations by Mr.. Humphrey
and IA Night in New York" are en-
titled to the distinction if any. In one
of the Potponris the familiar Home,
Sweet Home" was played, and during |
its rendition the .'ten O'Clock bells" !
chimed in, making a discordsnt but i,
very appropriate accompaniment,
which must have reminde d the Messrs

The ".Grest Western" under the tu-
torshipof Mr.. Humphrey, has attained
the honor of being the best Band in
Ohio, and their Rsveana admirers
echo the sentiment.

square, in front of the Court House,

A New Temperature scheme.
Observer Fuller, of the Yankton signal
station, has received instructions from
the headquarters of the weather bureau
relative to o new schemefor determining
the probable temperature in advance for
each month. The scheme as it applies
to the Yankton, station, takes the tenn
p%erature OF each day of a month during
fifteen years-the mBximum; minimum
and mean temperatures it's basis.
Experience teaches that the past governs
the future IN weather matters and that
the average Of any particular month for
fifteen years will give about the tenn
perature to be expected during that
month. The result is delineated upon
monthly charts which give blank spaces
for each day and for the adequate range
of temperature. Three lines, to represent
maximum, minimum. and mean tempera.
ture are drawn across this chart and the
position OF these lines each day indicates
the probable weather for that day. Mr..
| Fuller has just completed the April
chart. Starting with the first day. his
minimum was twenty-five. degrees, his
mean thirty-six and his maximum fifty.
From this beginning every day OF the
month is figured out and a month OF
probable weather given. The plan is q
sensible one and promises satisfaction.
Observer Fuller will issue these charts
the first of each month.
