Kelsey gave a brief review of the lite and
character OF Washington which was well
received. Gov. Barto spoke of birthdays
and holidays in general, their significance
and the spirit in which they should be
observed. He has happy faculty OF
talking to the young. Mr.. Hendryx's
subject was the National Flag. There
were several musical selections. the
school singing a number of patriotic
songs. One of the pleasantest features
was series of brief patriotic Rotations
by the older scholars. ,u-e
The rink was packed, about four hun
dred scholars and half as many adults
being present. The marching of the
children to and from the school building
was a pretty sight. The procession was
lighted up with large number of flags
of all sizes. At the conclusion of the ex-
ercises at the rink, Prof. Woodley, master
of ceremonies, raised the beautiful large

HARRIsoN's MILITARY BAND-An Or
ganization most worthy the patronage
of our citizens, is Harrison's Military
Band. Under the leadership of AL. Kin
namon the band has made good progress
and their concert which is promised in
the near future will be one of rare excel
lence. Nearly every town has its musi-
cal organizatio on, far inferior to ours. but
it is safe to Say they have a better bal
ance in the treasury. A liberal patron
age Of the citizens is asked, and Sank
Centre will haye plenty of open air con-
certs during the coming summer. Time
and money will be spent by them and
they should have some remuneration.
THE CoNCERT.-Liberati is Great! The
concert and variety performance given at
the opera house on Wednesday evening was
largely attended, and every body enjoyed
themselves. The St. Cloud band is entitled
to unlimited credit for arriving at such a
high musical standard, composed as it is of
in T.
plays we'll and plays very difficult music too.
The selections were all Of a high order and
exceedingly we'll rendered. The minstrel
features of the program were very. good in
deed for amateurs--spotted with the usual
amateur defects. And yet, judged as nom
professional troupe the entire performance
in that line was all that could have been ex-
pected. There was some good singing, fine
dancing, and creditable special features in
other directions. But it was Liberati who
who held the attention ofthe audience. He
was on the program for two numbers, and
both were encored. He cheerfrlly respond
ed, and held his audience spell-bound with
his wonderful execution. He is master of
the cornet, and that is saying much. The
entire evening was one of enjoyment. The
principal fault was the effort made to give
too much for the money. The program was
too long.
