other OF the members having gone
away to find work, MI. Huebner felt
he could not make a decent showing.
Then a Philadelphia band was sought
for and this cost the city, we are told
$3.50 or $155. After the Philadelphia
band was engaged, the chairman of our
committee of arrangements tried to
cancel the engagement, bnt Lombiose,
their leader, would not have it,that
way and held the City of Wildwood to
its contract. Oscar Huebner found a
few days before May Both that he could
muster enough men to play, but Lom-
biose "knew a good thing when he saw
it'i and held on to the contract-tbe
more's the pity for the people of Wild
wood who had to listen to that Phila-
delphia band of music against their
wills aud good taste. The city ad-
vanced the money for the band suits
worn by the members of the Wildwood
band, with the and understanding hat the
amount should be paid back in service
rendered to the city in playing on such
occasions az needed and as requested.
An accounting is now asked for by nil
interested, the status of which matter
shall be set forth in the next issue of
JOURNAL.
