The Wellington band disbanded
Sunday afternoon, through no mis-
understanding between themselves,
but by mutual consent. They are
compelled to quit, as they have no
money in the treasury with which TO
pay the necessary expenses. They
are obliged to haYe a room, light,
fuel aud director, and with the poor
support received, are unable to con-
tinue. 1t is with a feeling of regret
and disappointment that they tax
this step, but the members feel that
they alone cannot bear the expenses.
The Co. B entertainment given Sat
urday night was one Of the best they
have had this season. Though but
few of the boys were out to partici-
pate in the drill and program, the Wis
itOrs present were well entertained
and spoken terms of praise of those
who did take part. The music was
furnished by the Snyder brothers Of
Perth, and was very good. The Off
GERS of Co. B deserve credit for their
successful efforts in keeping the hood
lum element out Of their ranks, and
those attending their sOcials will find
them flrSt-clasS aud entertaining.
TIE boys should have better encour-
agement from our citizens.

To say that the three act French
comedy "Forget Ne Not" was grand
is expressing it very mildly. The
cast of characters was made up of
seven very clever people. The sing
ing and dancing by Miss Vinton was
very good. W. ]. Maddern proved
himself to be an artistic dancer. He
gave an imitation Of lady dressing
in a hurry which was simply i'm
menSe and drew forth rounds of ap.
plause. Aida Lawrence as Stephanie
| De MOrivart was grand. Her changes
in facial expression was something
wonderful. A. j. Sharpley as Sil
Horace Welby was a grand character
The band and orchestra carried by
this company is considered one OF the
best on the road. They presented al
the close a laughable selection en-
titled ga Day at the Circus" in which
they took occasion to roast Col. Tully
on his circus aspirations.
