SlOn on Enthusiastic Audience
 To the victor belongs the spoils'' describes perfectly 8 notable success scored in the local musical world last evening. Tho event was the first Symphony concert given by the New Britain Community orchestra in the Grammar school hall under the di- rection of Joseph Clair Beebe. con- ductor. From the time tho first number. Sixth symphony-(surprise) by Haydn, was rendered until the time when the strains of the star Spangled Banner" which was the grand finale, reverberated through the hall, the audience was enthusi- astic over the entertainment and generous in their applause, ono in- dividual applauding before . number was finished.
 Tho success of the Community orchestra seems assured. Started by William c. French. principal of the Grammar school, with few of the best musicians who were willing to offer their services gratis for tho cake of their art and that New Britain might not fall behind other cities In the realm of music 1t would seem that after last nights performance their hopes are to be realized. Not a slip was made last evening, ct least. none that the casual observer could discover and the numbers were ren- dered with clock-like precision and in a manner that showed the result of sacrifice and hard work in preparing for the event.
 In keeping with the work of the Community orchestra was the man. ner in which the soloists rendered their different numbers. Miss Veron- lea Bolan, harpist, and Frederick w. Latham. baritone. were the two chosen to complete the balanced program. Both of the performers arc well and favorably known for their musical talent. Miss Bolan being harpist of exceptional ability and Mir. Latham a fine baritone with . strong and finished voice.
