There is quite lot of undeveloped
musical talent in Milton, as anyone who
has occasion on certain evenings to pass
near or over the bridge can testify. Ten
or dozen lads may be seen perched on
the bridge railing. and heard making
melody in their hearts and edifying the
meny passers-by. They do well, can run
every note in the gamut, and are &C
quainted with much of the ''up-to-date'
music. With little instruction, which
it is proposed to give them, it is believed
they will be able to perfect an organiza-
ton by the winter, that will be second to
none in the State.
