AN AFTERNooN CONCERT.

Over on the west side among the great
ships which lie at their wharves strange
sight may be witnessed every afternoon.
Two great SouGd steamers of rival lines lie
side by side near the foot of Warren street
waiting for passengers to Boston. Compe-
tition for business has become pretty sharp
between the two lines and every afternoon
Que feature of that competition is the play
ing of their bands on the after deck when it
is pleasant. The bands eau be heard
far up the street, not always agreeing per-
fectly. While the leader of one is asserting
that Annie Rooney is his sweetheart. the
other may be greeting the announcement
with doleful strais of 1.-THE Heart Bowed
Down" As starting time draws near the
music becomes liveher. Then the street
urchins from blocks around gather about
the wharves and dance rigsdoons and pig
con wings to the merry strains. And the
passengers sit aft and take it in with great
satisfaction.
