mass at 10 o'clock. Wiegand's mass
was well rendered at the latter service
by the large choir of mixed voices, I'M

A special feature was the grand pro-
cession on the grounds after mass in
which about five hundred took part.
A pretty altar had been erected on the
church lawn, where solemn benediction
was given. Singing of the re Deum by
all closed the impressive services.
Many that took part in the process
sion last year were missing, but they
were kindly remembered in prayer by
their friends.
The little girls in white, wearing
wreaths, and the fragrant flowers add
ed much to this scene Of beauty and
devotion.

The big crowd out to the first concert
was not duplicated Monday night be-

there were enough there to prove be-
yond doubt that good music. well rem
dered. as it is by our band, is a great
drawing feature when it comes to get
ting out the crowd.
Mr.. Anderson, the talented leader,
holds the band to high class of music
and does not give way to the desire of
some for the rag time stuff so pop
ular where good music is not to be had
or is not appreciated. if given.
1t is one of the things that give u
town a good name and helps to adj
yertise it abroad that it is able to
maintain a first class band. 1t takes a
great deal of hard work, much more
than the public generally knows, to
keep up such an organization and we
often forget to give honor due and
speak words Of appreciation and thanks
for the efforts of those who compose
the band.
The Epworth League has reason to
feel grateful for the opportunity to
furnish the refreshments Monday even
ing and publicly thanks the band and
park officials for the favors shown. -
