The musical interests Of Frederick.
town have been tagging somewhat the
past year and there Is q popular de-
mand that something be done in
musical way for the town. There ls
lots OF good latent talent here in all
lines of music but owing to a lack of
proper leadership there has been moth
ing doing. A good leader OF chorus
music would be welcomed here-some
one who has the ability to organize
and maintain the organization, would
find this fertile field for his labors
A movement has recently been started
to resurrect the old cornet band
Three meetings have already been
held the last one being on Tuesday
evening when there was a representa-
tive attendance. The juvenile band
was fully organized and will com
mence work at once. 1t was decided
at this meeting to call regular prac-
tice meeting on Tuesday night Of next
week. Messrs Walter Hyatt, Howard
Amos, Phil Brawner, John Trickle, f.
A. Day, Lew Brentlinger, o. b. James,
Mr.. Chenoworth, G. l.. marple, Mr..
Chenoworth, Samuel Hanna and
Herb Wharton are especially request
ed to be present at this meeting and
bring their music and instruments.
The method of one waiting for the 9TH
er will be discontinued and practice
will be begun promptly at 1880 stan
dard, regardless of the number pres
ent, which will be an assurance to
those who are present that they can
put in their time to good advantage.
The business people are especially
pleased to see this movement go
through and the boys are sure to get
the hearty support of all in putting
; forth this new enterprise.
The outlook for a new opera house
or auditorium is taking on a more
definite appearance than any move in
that direction yet made. The Thrall
lodge, F. & A. M. have been ambitious
for a new home and the order being
made up of the most progressive citi-
zens here they have also wanted to
do something of lasting benefit to
the community. They therefore have
had committee composed of Messrs.
, Braddock, Huddle and Fink investi-
gate the matter of probable cost and
looking up site for the proposed new
. building. On Tuesday an open meet
, ing was called and the committee
gave in their report of the work thus
, far. The lot back of Clark Bros.'s
! grocery was considered desirable but
for various reasons the committee
/ could not recommend its purchase.
+ Several different plans have been con-
;. sidered but the one viewed with most
, favor was three story building with
store room on the ground floor and
, Offices on the second floor for renting
I purposes. The lodge room being on
| the third floor. The auditorium to
occupy the other half of the two low
er stories. The cost of such struc-
. ture was roughly estimated at $780,
{ 100000. A discussion as to the best
method to finance venture did not
, result in any definite plan and the
B. committee was continued with instruc-
! tions to investigate other plans and
> other sites and to report their find
= ing next Tuesday evening.
