A responsive audience, the largest Of
the season, greeted the recently organ
lied Barre City band on the occasion Of
its first concert in City park last evening.
Perhaps the weather caused many people
to obey the impulse to stay QUITO .doors,
but the majority of those who were at
tracted TO the park were undeniably Gu
rious TO find out for themselves whether
the new organization could measure up
to the standard Of the old Citizens band.
They were not disappointed. A large
number Of musicians who used to play
with the Citizens figured in last even
ing's concert, and with the infusion of
new talent the City band performed very
creditably. The concert was applauded to
the echo by a crowd that filed the park
and then overlooked into sidewalk and
street Such selections as Poet and
Peasant "The Old Church Organ" and
ECHOES from the South" found imme-
date favor. After the concert the n1usi.
clans gave dance in Rowland hall,
which was largely attended. II Is to be
hoped that the City band may be enabled
to continue its concerts throughout the
remainder Of the summer
