The first open-air concert of the season by

| the Belfast Band was given Tuesday even
| ing on the schOOlhOuse common, and despite
! the rather chilly atmosphere there was a
! large and appreciatiye audience. 1t is hoped

/ tinued, as they are enjoyed not only by our
own people but by the summer visitors, now
arriving daily. Belfast is proud of her band,
and has reason to be.

"UNo" OR LAGER? The beer seized at
the Manor House in Frankfort last week is
labelled "Uno" but has every appearance
of straight lager. Sheriff Carleton is hav-
ing it analysed. The Rockland Star reports
the reopening of saloons in that city o.
tensibly for the purpose of selling Uno
| beer, malt beverage, which contains under
| three per cent of alcohol; but says it is
mot unheard of in this State for lager beer
to be sold from bottles bearing Uno labels.
1t is necessary to have United States re-
tail liquor dealers license in order to sell
Uno beer.
LIQUOR SEIZURES Deputy Sheriff E. W.
Ellis seized two barrels of lager beer and
one case of bottled lager on the truck team
of L. S. ShumaD just as it had left the f. S.
! Co.'S wharf last Tuesday morning. The
/ liquor was taken to the Jail and the driver
of the team was arrested. In the afternoon

together with the serving outfit, were seized
at the Phoenix House. The hearings on
these seizures will be held this, Thursday,
