town hall was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic audiences ever seen in this
town. If this is a sample of the interest
shown in our new band it's success is sure
ly assured. The band has been in training
the past few months under the direction OF
e. G. Beedle of Keene. The music was
pronounced by many as being equal TO
many bands of long existence. Everyone
OF the numbers was enthusiastically APP
plauded. The band was assisted by c. c.
Beedle, violinist, Mrs. L. A. Carpenter
soprano, Miss Annie Chandler, piano, and
the male quartet. Mr.. Beedle rendered
Hanser's 'Hongroise'' and responded to
three recalls. Mrs. Carpenter sang Bartlett's
"Grass and Roses" and as an encore sang
"The Amorous Goldfish" from the Geisha
The quartet of Messrs. Bickford, Carpen.
ter, Sherwin and Pollard gave two selec.
tions that We're enthusiastically received.
The proceeds of the concert and ball
were something over 5000. Nearly every
business firm in town offered some article
to be sold by ticket and this greatly added
to the returns. About 40 couples enjoyed
the ball an orchestra of nine pieces fur
nished music. The grand march was lee
by Mr. and Mrs l.. A. Carpenter.
The new electric lighting of the hall wa.
shown for the first time and added greatly
to the success of the evening.
