MUSICAL MATTERS. Apropos of the Langen
dorf Concert to be given March 10th, it NAV
be said that this year the Belfast Musical
Society has made a strenuous endeayor to
interest our musical people in the Maine
Festival Chorus. The books have been
bought, the chorus organized and Prof.
VIM r. Chapman is cooperating generously.
Belfast has had no great musical event since
| the Festival chorus was abandoned some
twelve years ago. Now that it has been taken
up again we are placed in line with the splen-
did things that have been coming to other
cities. Mr.. Chapman has generously offered
ten per cent on all certificates sold, to be ap-
piled to the promotion of the Belfast festival
chorus. A certificate entities the holder to an
earlier choice of seats without extra charge.
and can be secured from any member of the
Musical society or at E. s. Pitchers music
| store.

| SHIPPING ITEMS. An article from the Port
land Press in another column says that Capt
Jerre Hayes of this city is to give up command
of the schooner Pendleton Brothers to assume
the duties of shore captain at New York fol-
the Pendleton Bros, who have fleet of about
one hundred schooners. Capt. Hayes has been
one of our most successful sea captains, il
much attached to his vessel, having superin.
tended her construction, and we veture to pre-.
rdict that ere long he will give up shore life
and take to the sea again. Many of our read
ers will be interested in the article entitled
down East on Schooner" by Palmer B
Langdon. It tells of voyage from New York
to Stockton Springs in the auxiliary schoone,
Northland, and was contributed to the Janu
airy number of The Crescent, monthly maya
zine published in the interests of the Crescent
Athletic Club of Brooklyn, N. Y. The un
known friend who sent us the marked copy has
our sincere thanks.
