AN OPEN AIR CONCERT.
The Jersey City Military Band Plays I'm
Hamilton Park.

The Jersey City Military Band, former
ly the Tabernacle Band, gave grand
open air concert last evening at Hamil-
ton Park, and Notwithstanding a few
draw backs, such as poor light. managed
to delight a large number OF people. For
some unaccountable cause the usual light
was not Forthcoming, and the young
musicians were obliged to find their notes
by the aid Of several oil lamps tied to
posts.
The weird effect which this had, giving
them more the appearance of spectres than
deuizens of Jersey City, dampened neither
their enthusiasm nor that OF those who
came TO listen to them. They played
with much ardor, and their audience APP
plauded them rapturously.
The musicians, under the leadership OF
Max L. Miller, played this programme

CINE, testified substantially as Crocheron.

County Physician statiug that he exam
ined McCue's body and found both legs
