hatiCk National Band Concert
at Lippitt-. Mrs. Bakers
Funeral.

The Natick National band gave an open
air concert on the square last evening
There was a large crowd assembled. and
the weather being cool, they enjoyed the
music immensely.
These concerts are being attended by
larger crowds of people than those at
Arctic Centre.
The different bands being engaged from
week TO week prove far better drawing
factor. than one band, as is the case at
Arctic Centre.
There was a noticeable absence of the
rough element whose presence is always
shown on like events.

BALL TEAM DISBANDS
Manager Pryor OF the Washington base
ball team. run by the athletic and social
club of that village, said last evening that
he expected the ball team would disband.
Mr.. Pryor cancelled the game scheduled
with the Hopes for next Sunday. He said
that the cause for disbandment was the
lack OF interest shown by the public in
their patronage of the games. The Wash
ington team have tried to have a team.
and did have a team, that ranked second
to none in the valley. but the attendance
had not been sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of running the team. and on Mon
day evening the club voted to discontinue
the support OF a club to represent the
village.
