Company E band had been engaged
for yesterdays celebration and much
regret WAS expressed that 1t could not
participate, but combination OF circum
stances seemed to make it inexpedient.
An Effort was made 10 the early morn
ing hours, when 1t seemed as II there
WAS DO hope OF having celebration, to
reach the Athens band but no one re-
sponded from the Athens station to the
calls of the telephone. After the
Athens musicians arrived 1t would have
been very little saving OF expense to
have dismissed them and at the O'Clock
meeting OF the committee, when votes
were passed cancellipg the engagement
with Company E band and pra tic lily ~
the forenoon program, and 1t was decided
TO hold the Athens band here until noon,
although it did not then seem likely thai
there would be An opportunity 10 use
them. At the 10 30 meeting OF the gen.
eral committee 1t WAS still uncertain how
much of the program could be carried
out and it was not thought best by those
In charge to make an effort to reengsge
the local band, particularly as 1t was by
that time certain that the receipts at the
park would be greatly reduced, II not
entirely cut out. There was little time
for deliheration at either of the two
committee meetings OF yesterday fore
noon but the decision with regard to
to the bands as with other matters re-
presented the best judgement OF the
committee at the time, and we have no
doubt of its meeting with the entire ap-
prevail of all under the circumstances
that existed.
