Mr.. AND MRS. BROWN ENTERTAIN

The hospitable mansion of Col. d. P.
Brown, the superintendent for the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, at Lost Creek, pre-
sented a magnificent appearance last night
rs the Grant Cornet Band, of town,
marched across from the Lehigh Valley
depot to furnish the guests of the Colonel
and his very amiable wife with instru-
mental music of the standard that demon
strates that the inhabitants of the coal re-
gion know something more than that
which is confined within the area of the
dusky diamond field.
IL was apparent from the parade of the
band in town down the center Of the streets
and the flood of admirers on the sidewalks
that the Grant Band was about to enter
into a sphere by which society strictly
clings. Herr Won Zeitz was in the center
of the musicians with head bowed down
and ear alert. "OIr Dandy Drum Major
(Llewellyn, of course), was in the lead.
rhe strains were delightful and many
wished that the train could have been de-
layed.
On the way to Dol. Browns the band
spread itself. Lost Greek has a band, but
its popularity, nor the efficiency OF it's
members, has not reached that point upon
which bur own Grant Band perches.
But nevertheless Lost Creek thronged the
roadway to the magnifcently decorated
grounds surrounding Col, Browns man
sion.
The grounds presented a sight similar to
the scenes depicted in the representation Of
the beautiful hanging gardens of Alham-
bra. Brillianoy was supreme. The two
acres surrounding the mansion were alive
with artificial illumination and the smallest
burden upon The smallest fruit treo was
brought clear to the eye. The flowers in
their beds seemed enlivened by the sprays
of lights. Chinese lanterns also had a
chance to exercise their usefulness, and
they presented a picturesque appearance.
After the usual formalities the Grant
Band took possession Of a large platform
erected in the center of the grounds. The
band consisted of forty pieces, The selec-
lions were rendered in a superb manner
and the members were heartily applauded
after each selection. The following was
the programme;
