Mr.. Joy In 1871, is being newly fitted, and
made ready for occupancy. In the place
of the usual show cases, Mr.. Joy will
have his samples shown from draperies.
The scenery is all being changed, and
there will be new backgrounds. Mr..
Joy has with him W. r. Fenley, OF
Portland, who will manage the business
for Mr.. Joy during the holidays. Mrs.
Joy and her daughter will, for the pres
ent, remain in Westbrook.
Alfred A. FarIand, banjo virtuoso, is
booked for Hancock hall Friday evening,
Nov 27. The advance agent has been in
town soliciting patronage the past week.
A sufficient sum has to be guaranteed to
warrant Mr.. Farlsnd' coming here. OF
his work the Boston Transcript says:
SIT was matter of excitement to hear
Farland, for the man has technique
that makes one begin to believe possible
what one reads of Paeanini himself.
His banjo whines like the wind, and
oftener sounds like cello, violin, a
mandolin or harp than it does Ikea
banjo. Those who fell into fine
frenzy at Kubelik's technical feats should
not miss an opportunity of hearing
Farland's still more amazing exploits"
