\ good-sized audience enjoyed two
hours and more OF "ducet symphonies
at the town hall Monday evening. when

II program numbers, every one of which
/ was encored. The concert was one which
gave unbOunded delight and the warmest
. expressions are heard in reference TO il.
The only criticism, if it be a criticism
/ is that the selections were mostly familiar
ones through previous rendition by oul
own band. The overtures. William Tell
and 'Iannhauser, were splendidly exc
| cuted, but "The Carnival of Venice espec
tally brought out the individual strength
of the organization. OF the band soloist,
Mr., Smith, trombone, won greatest favor
with the audience, but to many the cornet
solos by Mr.. Church held first place Mrs
Morgan is singer of evident cultivation
and was given cordial welcome by the au
dience.
There was one little incident not on tn,
program at Reeves concert Monday even
ing. Mr. Reeves, with military prompt
ness, waved his baton, and his band begar
to play the civilian Tell overture pre-
cisely on the stroke of eight o clock. Wher
/ the music began the doors were closed, and
late corners were courteously but firmly re-
fused entrance until the selection was fin
ished. Some Impotence was manifested
by those who found themselves a part Of
the crowd of 30 or - walters but seconl
thought showed that the course taken b'
the management was a perfectly proper
one. The door-keeper said, in substance
at is our unyarying rule and it is adopted
because it is not right that those who com,
in season and are promptly in their seat,
should have their enjoyment of the musi,
disturbed by those who come late"
would be well if this could be made the rul,
in Bratteboro in future, thus inducn!
greater promptness on the part of amuse
ment goers.
