The Randolph Musical association :
'oted, at meeting held Tuesday even !
ng, to suspend further preparations for :
ne musical festival, which was to be held :

hat satisfactory terms for the rental OF
hall could not be agreed upon-in fact, '
bat the village has no hall with suitable /
accommodations for the associations fes- ,
ival, which has grown each year in pop
Ilarity and patronage, until its perma- \
renee seemed established. This decision :
4 the association will cause keen regret, Y
lot only in this community, where the :
uccess of the conventions has been so I
argely due to the general interest OF the \
uwnspeople, but also to the neighboring
owns, in which many we're already look
ng forward to the November festival. A
lew music hail in the place would be a
Eelcome addition to the towns attrac- r
ions. n
