 Quite a good many of our prominent citizens would like to see the city move the band stand on the green to some other spot, so that we can have concerts during the summer months without interfering with the looks of xf. offx fc Tl- siderable expense this season in fitting 1t up and many claim that it would be nothing short of folly to throw loam and seeds on it now and then allow concerts to be held there in few weeks. One man said this morning that the band stand should be moved fo the junction of East Main, Cole and Elm streets. where the pubic could be accommodated just as well as on , the green. Others look at the matter in a different light and state that II concerts are not allowed on the green, Waterbury might as we'll give up the idea of holding them any other place, for the public would not turn out to hear them.
 The state convention of the Forest CTS will take place in Bridgeport on Wednesday, of next week. On Ihurs- day the annual election of ot1cers VIII be held. The chief interest in me convention's doings for the people or Waterbury centers in the contest for grand secretary W. B. Kleinecke or this city has held the position for the past i've years, during which time fifty-seyen new councils have been in stalled. He is again a candidate this year. There are also two other can didates from Hartford and New Ha- ven but Secretary Kleinecke expects no difficulty in securing a renomina- ton. He says there are two-thirds or the delegates pledged to him, among them being eight out of twelve New Haven delegates. Of course, some thing extraordinary might turn up by which he would be defeated. But from present indications, his chances are more than bright.
 The oiConnell Rovers Hurling club gave a smoker last evening in Dunn's hall on Washington street that was en- 5oyed by large number. The hall was crowded. stIll the attendance would have been larger but for many of the factories working over time. The ceremonies were directed by John T. Sheeban. While refreshments were passing around by host of walters songs, recitations and incidents of wit and humor were rendered. Tn the way of music the following contributed: James Killoughey, James Kelley. Mich ael Harrington. John Shea, Robert Sheehan. and Christopher Harmon and the president John J. Sheehan render ed few recitations. The entertain ment was varied. There were a few boxing bouts. A three round go be- tween Harry Galway and Harold Wig gins of Hartford was quite interesting. Wilbur Wallace and Thomas Lynch gave similar exhibition and another three rounds between Edward Mulvan- ney and James Horan closed that part of the entertainment. Michael Hayes was time keeper and John Carroll ref cree. The smoker was a success from every point of view.
