OUR BAND CONTAMINATED In its report
OF the Pythian meetings in Bangor last week
the Daily News of that city says:
One feature of the days entertainment
was not down on the program, but was
thoroughly enjoyed, not only by the
knights, but by every one who had the good
fortune to hear it. This was the concert
given in the office of the Penobscot Ex-
change by the Belfast band on Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was one of the best concerts
ever heard in Bangor and every number W as
loudly applauded. The program was:
March, Knights of Columbus, Fischer
Overture, Kanetta, Auber
Medley, A. Cluster of Peaches, Boyer
Hungarian Fantasia.
At Georgia Campmeeting.
Selections from Faust.
But perhaps the best compliment of all
was the action of the I'd Regt., Knights of
Pythias, in electing the Belfast Band as the
regimental band. OF cotrrse the Belfast
division, which engaged the band for this
OCCASION were the prime movers, but the as
sembled K. P's had heard our band on the
march and in concert and were naturally en-
thusiastic over it. The Belfast Band and
the ID Regt. are alike to be congratulated.
