last fall and now numbers twenty
two. Under the faithful instruction
of Prof. F. E. Cook these young men
none of whom before could play
note-now play quite acceptably and
have recently pleased two large audi
ences, one in Warsaw and one In the
country. On Monday afternoon they
surprised their friends by coming out
In uniform and playing for an hour on
Main street; they were loudly ap-
plauded. The band has not asked one
cent of aid from the public, neither
for their fine silver instruments, nor
for their uniforms which they recently
purchased, and which they wore for
the first time Monday They now
propose to ask our citizens for sub
scription to a series of weekly con-
certs to be given on Main street from
now until October LIST and doubtless
their appeal will be met with liberal
response as is should.
The band bids fair to be the most
successful band ever organized In
Warsaw, and one thing rare, the
boys are always prompt at rehersals.
They look quite natty and stylish In
their dark blue uniforms trimmed
with black braid.
