ing in the left ear. This had bothered
Creatore slightly for some time, and he

resumed and completed to the end of the
season. As he personally is a very inter-

decided to have the band rest also TIL he
could again personally conduct 1t, and the
entire party are now in Cincinnati awaiting
CreatOre's release from the ear specialist.
