Tonights game should be most IN
teresting from spectators point OF
view. as the Bimini boys always nave
mt M an Interesting exhibition OF the
popular aquatic sport, regardless OF tne

the couple puts up a formidable front
against any worthy opponents.
There will be no admission charged
nv the officials of the Bimini baths to-

REGIMENT BAND
NAY COME HERE
Effort is Said to Be on TO
Bring Omen and Musicians
to This City.
The Fairmont Times says:

Owing to misunderstanding in
regard to the pay OF Director omen,
there Is an EFFORT being made to
transfer the headquarters OF the First
Regiment Band from Falrmont to
Clarksburg. Public spirited men
from Clarksburg are behind the move
1t is said
When the band was mustered into
the service, a few years ago. Prof.
Omen took charge OF the organiza-
ton with the understanding that he
was to Fbe made Chief Musician and
draw the pay for the same which
amounts to about $500 year. When
the warrants were issued, omen drew
the chevfons of a principal instead OF
Ia chief musician. He Immediately
took the matter up at headquarters
It is said and was promised that the
mistake would be rectifed. 1t has
not been done and now Omen claims
the State owes him about $500 This
sum, 1t is said the Clarksburg people
behind the move promise to make
good IL the State does not,
AdJutant John Henshaw, OF the
First Regiment said to Times res
porter last night shat he hSd noe
heard that there was talk OF d trans-i
fer of the band to Clarkshurg and
he was of the opinion that 1t was the

While there Is little danger OF the
