The band concert came off last Thurs
day evening, though it looked for a time
as though the usual program would be
carried out. The damp and foggy even
ing, after the shower, was disadvantage,
but nevertheless the concert was greatly
enjoyed, and much surprise was mani
tested at the excellence of the music rem
dered. While all the numbers were well
received, there were two that drew much
applause. The cornet solo by Prof. Short,
"That wasn't the style in our grandfath-
ers' days" tas we know it), and "Put
your shoulder to the wheel is motto for
man." gave most universal satisfaction.
Notwithstanding the unpleasant evening
there was good attendance, and the
hope Is expressed that the village may
have another opportunity of hearing Prof
Short.
