 Yesterday the services at St Patrick's church were considerably disturbed by music of many discords coming from building on Bank street not far from the sacred edi- flee. The past few Sundays the con- gregations have had to endure the noise coming from a cornet. That was bad enough but yesterday a whole band must have been practis- ing. For a couple of hours in the morning the racket was on and at times those in the rear of the church could not hear word of the service. The music of band at the right time and a suitable place is en- joyable, but during church hours 1t is a nuisance. At the regular meeting of the St Thomas Cadet association yester- day the following officers were elect ed for six months: President, Pat rick o'Brien; vice-president, Dennis Kelly; recording secretary, William McGinniss; financial secretary, Will liam Dunphy; treasurer, Michael Ma hon. As the baseball team repre- senting the association has played only a couple of games and as there Is none scheduled for the remainder
 of the season. 1t was voted to sell the uniforms of the team. They are almost new and make a hobby uni form, being of a maroon color. It Is understood that the Merimac team of the City league will purchase the uniforms.
 Two foreigners tried to show how much they knew about the art of self defense yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock on Edward street. Neither was able to do much with his fists but one of them was getting slightly the better of the bout when a looker-on stepped in as his friend was coming out second best. So welding a beer bottle which he had just emptied he brought 1t down on the head of one of the combatants. He Immediately took to his heels and a number pursued him. But he was good runner and was too much for his competitors although he was nearly caught before he reached John street. It is said that he disappeared into bake shop on John street and lost those who were chasing him.
