lake, too, was fairly covered with row.
ing parties, and the roadways in the
vicinity of the pavilion were blocked
with carriages, whose occupants re-
manned until the last number was play
eu. Inc concert was delightful. That
the multitude enjoyed it keenly, there
could De no doubt The hearty and
prolonged applause that greeted the
pand at the conclusion of each number
testified Enthusiastically to the universal
Satisfaction the music afforded. The
selections were most ludicious. COM
prlslng beautiful overtures, charming
operate selections, delightful waltzes
and clever medleys.

or more. 1t is splendidly trained, and
under the leadership Of Director Ellis
