BAND CONCERT. Those who attended
the concert at the Belfast Opera House last
Friday evening report that all the numbers
of somewhat difficult program were finely
executed, and drew forth wel-merited ap-
plause. Drink water is developing wonder
fully as trombone soloist, and his render
ing OF "The Holy City, was fine. The skill
of the Band as whole in rendering the de-
scriptive fantasy, '' At the Old Grist MILL"
was fully in keeping with the high reputa-
ton of that organization. Following is a
synopsis of the piece: The Break of Day
The Birds Revel-Their Morning Song. in
which the Bull-Frog Joins-Arrival of the
Mill Misunderstanding the Mill-The Mill at
Work-The Noon-Hour Rest-Return of the
Mill Misunderstanding the Days Labor
Stopping the Mill-Darkness Falls Over the
Valley, the Frog is Heard Again and all is
Serene.
THE THANKSGIVING MARKETS. The
display of poultry in the markets for
Thanksgiving never was better than this
year and all were dressed attractively
The turkeys and chickens were well grown
and in prime condition and the ducks were
plump and fat The cold-storage market in
The Journal building was arranged very
attractively. A row of evergreen trees ex-
tended across the rear of the store and the
u
other stock of the market was hung along
the sides and in the windows Fogg &
Brown had as large and fine showing of
turkeys, chickens and ducks as they ever
carried. Burgess Il Gardner had fine line
of handsome young turkeys, and some as
nice chickens as were ever brought to Bel
fast. There were very few geese in the
n< n,,%% hos
condition. Burgess Il Gardner had fine
lot, received Tuesday.
