time and from the work which is being put

excellent entertainment. The ladies,
quartet will take part. Dancing viii be
INDUCED in after the play. The band will
give street promenade at noon. This
drama is presented by the band with the
hope of raising funds for use during the
coming season. Their expenses are
necessarily heavy, much more 80 at this
time than in former years, and II they are
to meet the expectations of the public

band and by attending this play we can
spend an enjoyable evening and help the
boys in their work. Admission, 25 cents
