BeedIe's Orchestra of Keene, N H.. is
booked to appear in this county soon and
! give a series of entertainments. The COM
pany is named after G. G. Beedle, once a
resident of this town, and well-known as
a musician and the leader of Beedle's band.
The present manager is w "A. (Sargent) Bar
rington, an Albany boy, who has won no
small renown as a musical artist, composer
and manager of troupes. Among his best
| players is Ed. e. Bagley, born and brought
| up in Craftsbury and brother of Ezra Bag
| ley, who won almost a worldwide fame as
a cornet player. Mr.. Bagley is well-known
in this county. The fact that so many of
the people are from this section, to say
nothing of their reputation elsewhere,
ought to make them very welcome visitors.
The orchestra expects to play in this vii

some of the most popular lectures, which

and actors, and that their plays have been

the county, has created an interest in their
performance which no outside show or en-
tertainment can have. This time, it is
said by those who have heard the play,
that Mr.. Hildreth has outdone himself.
His drama has more of real Western life
than any written. His travels in the wild
regions of the Far West gave him inspira-
tions and realities that helped much to
perfect an intensely exciting play. 1t is
stated also that he has interviewer moral
story which grows in interest as it is en-
acted. We predict that the attendance
viii be very large.
