Trip to Louisville.
no other

The reputation OF the Martinsburg CITY
Band, which extends over a large portion
of the country and which has secured for
it so many long and well-paying trips, is
about to secure Tor it another trip To-
Louisville in 1901. The Knights Temp
lar Commandery Nos, of Washington,
ID. c., wrote here several weeks ago to-
find if the band would be prepared to ac-
company them to Louisville, Ky, in Au-
gust 1901, TO attend the Triennial Con-
clave of the Knights Tempar of the.
United States, to which the band replied
that it was prepared, if terms were favor
able.
The Washington Commandery ap--
pointed a committee to select band and
arrange terms for the trip. This commit
mittee, composed of Eminent Command
er A. w. Johnson and Recorder w. II.
Olcott came to Martinsburg Saturday
night and met the officers of the band at
the Continental Hotel The terms of the
band were given for the trip and other
matters discussed batween the TWO COM
mittees. The members of the Washing
ton committee were very favorably inn
pressed with what they learned about the
band and its terms and said that they
would report favorably to their lodge for
the engagement of the City Band for the
trip.
The committee went from here to Pitts
burg, where they will meet committees
from other bands that want to go on the
trip. The committee will submit a re-
port to their lodge at the meeting the lat
ter part Of August on the results of their
trip.
The City Band has a reputation for such,
trips and It has never failed to please. The
last long trip taken by the band was the
trip to the Democratic convention at
Chicago in 1892, when it accompanied
the Iriquois Cnb, of Baltimore, afterwards
accompanying it TO Cleveland's Inaugural
ton in Washington. Several years before
that it accompanied the Louisville Com
mandery Knights Templar to the Trien-
NAL Conclave in Washington. The band
is now in good form for such trips. If it
goes on this trip it will take twenty FIVE
members
