the vatican building. SO severe was the
shock that his holiness would have fallen

the First Artillery band and It's friends.
The band formed IN line at the station
and marched 10 the Fairhayen, and pre-
seBted 8 handsome appearance In their
neat uniforms.
Contrary 70 expectations, aud for the
first time, the people Of the Focal city
failed TO extend deserving patronage. The
size OF the audience that greeted tine band
was only fair, and several causes can be
attributed 10 this apparent lack Of appre-
ciatiOn, chief among which Is the fact
that there were a number Of other events
set Tor last evening. The concert was
delicious musical treat No such music
has ever before been heard In the Focal
city. and what the audience lacked In
numbers II made up IN appreciation. II
would be difficult 10 review each number

every selection was gem. II Is hoped
that the band viii favor Fairhaven with
another visit Ia the near future. and II
they conclude TO come again they viii be
greeted with packed house.
