Columbus Day Band Concert.
Because of the heavy skies and con-
tinuous rainfall that amounted now to
down pour and again to thin drizzle,
Columbus day was more or less of a
disappointment to many people. The
rain interfered with the football pro-
gram for the afternoon and Goddard
and Spaulding were obliged to post
pone their game until Wednesday after
noon. Perhaps the most satisfying fea-
ture of the day in Barre was the band
concert which the Italian young mems
band gave in the city park after the
storm had partially subsided in the early
evening.
Under the leadership of A. Gropelli, %
of the younger Italian musicians went
to the music stand around 7 o'clock
and rendered an excellent outdoor pro.
gram. The music attracted crowd to
the park and the players were frequent
ly accorded loud applause. Beginning
with medley of patriotic American
airs, the coneertists furnished roper
toire of splendid band selections that
was the subject of much favorable COM
nent. Leader Gropelli and his youthful
charges did much to preserve the holi-
day character of the day. Many ex-
pressed hope that the custom would
be continued as long as Columbus day is
