The lawn party at E. F. Humphreys last
| Friday evening was a real success. A large
number attended and a most enjoyable
| time was passed by all. Ice-cream and
cake was served and the company was en-
tertained by the Glover Brass Band which
discoursed most excellent music. This
| band has been organized for fifteen years
this present month, and seven of it's mem
bars have played in it during this
| time, while others have belonged for a
dozen years or more. The names of those
who have been mem bers from the first are
as follows: G. S. Parker, W. S. Mason,
R. F. Mason, G. S. Phillips, R. E. French,
| n. A. Smith and F. II. Percival. The first
| instructor of the band was James w ditney
| of musical renoWn who at that time lived
in Craftsbury. Since that time several
different teachers have drilled the boys
! until they have attained a proficiency which
| gives them rank among the best bands in
northern Vermont. Their present leader
| is r. E. French, and their instructor is P.
| G.. Stone who is fine musician and has the
| faculty Of shading the music and harmon
izing all the parts to bring out the best
| effect. Nearly every week during the
warm weather of summer the boys give an
open air concert, and the people from
several towns center into Glover to enjoy
the music, and it is source of pleasure to
all that hear it. The League and citizens
tender their thanks to every member of the
band for the service given in raising money
for worthy and benevolent enterprise,
and congratulate them en- their ability to
play so effectively. The proceeds of the
entertainment were So.
