Boy SCOUTS TO Give SPLENDID
PROGRAM At GRAND FRIDAY

From all indications the band con-
cert to be given at the Grand theater
by the Boy Scout Band on Friday
afternoon and evening of this week
will be the best attended Of any of
the entertainments given SO far in
the city by the boys. The several
crews which went out to sell tickets
for both performances report big sales
wherever they went, and were it not
for the fact that the theatre has a
very large capacity all who bought
tickets would be unable to find seats.
The boys have given several enter
tainments in the city during the past
winter and there is hardly, a person
here but what has heard, them play.
The World therefore feels that it
would be out Of place for us to say
anything about the kind of music
the boys are able to produce. All we
can say is that the concert next Fri
day evening will be better in every
way than any given here before, and
that allwho attend will get more than
their moneys worth..a" 1,.. 4.l., ~.
In order to give, our readers some
idea Of the splendid numbers to be
given during the evening program
we herewith publish the program:
