CHANDLER's BAND CONCERT.
The concerts recently given by Gilmore's
Band were success, being we'll attended by
our citizens, as they deserved to be. May
18th Chambers Band will give concert and
ball at City Hall. Local pride should cause
us to help sustain this excellent home insti-
tuition by patronizing this entertainment.
Wind is very essential to the performance OF
military band, but It requires something
more substantial to enable 1t to keep pace
with the times, as regards new music, in
struments, etc. Last year their concert
gave great satisfaction and this one will be
fully as good in every respect.
