National band of this city and the En-

been announced to play in competition
for cup at the picnic of the Emmanuel
Baptist church, Thursday, but there was
no competition, on account of the re-
fusal of the National band to play. A
member of the New Haven band said
last evening that the reason the organi-
cation to which he belonged did not
play was that it was not even consulted
before the announcement was made and
knew nothing of it until a programme
was issued a few days before the picnic.

Emmanuel Baptist church presented the
cup to the Waterbury band.
