The FIREMANs BALL. Despite the
Prngle incident, Of which mention is made
elsewhere, the annual concert and ball of
Washington Hose Company given in the
Opera House last THURSDAY night was an
unqualified success. The fact that it was
bitter cold night, while it may have kept at
home a few would-be spectators, had no
appreciable effect upon the attendance or
the enjoyment of the evening. Pullen's Or
chestra of Bangor, eight pieces, gave very
pleasing concert, feature of which was the
cello solo by Mr.. James Maxwell, who ap-
peared here on a former occasion with the
University of Maine Glee Club, and who
many were glad to hear again. Following
is the concert program:
March, Admiral Farragut, LOsey
Overture, Morning, Noon and Night, Suppe
Selection, Heartsease, MOret
Cello solo, selected,
MIR. James Maxwell.
