The Belfast Band concert and confetti
ball in the Armory last Friday evening
was a most delightful occasion and tn
net proceeds were about 5000. There was
record crowd in attendance. The con-
cert, j. Lee Patterson, director, contain
ed many of the old time favoriteS and
| popular selections. Charles F. Hammons,
the Band soloist, was encored again and
ball opened about o'clock with music by
McKeen's orchestra The showers and
squalls of confetti and colored streamers
were all animated sight. The spectators
in the balcony entered into the sport and
threw immense quantities on the heads
of the dancers. A large dry goods box of
confetti was sold in very short time

Board of Health issued an order before
the dance that no confetti could be picked
up from the floor to throw, and the order
was willingly complied with.
The Portland Express says of Miss
Carolyn Havener, a former Belfast girl,
in the recent Maine Centennial Assembly
at Westbrook Seminary:
"Miss Carolyn Havener ri, of Wood
fords gave brilliant five-minute talk on
| The Noted Men and Wemen of Maine.
| She spoke without notes and held the
attention of the full chapel while she
brought out the names of Names famous
sons and daughters and made some crisp
statements about each one of them. The
Washburn family of five celebrated BROTH
ers, seemed to her one of the wonderful
products of the State. Reed, Blaine,
Peary, Longfellow, Jewett, Stevens, Fes-
sender, Hale, Frye, King, and many 9th
ers were the names which she asserted
had been written indelibly into the history
of Maine and the Nation. In closing she
made splendid appeal that the present
generation might look to these great ones
of the past and strive to live up to the
grand motto of the State, Dirigo."
