The last concert of the city band
under the leadership of E. H. Hyde
was deserving of the words of praise
heard on all sides. 49, Lancaster citizens

ter ever being represented by such an
organization. In resigning Mr.. Hyde
should feel that his work has been
sincerely appreciated by the majority
of our citizens.
