of the boys to play eve the most

ed TO all parts of the country. The

cert in this city at some future time.

were rendered by Ambrose Hallaran,
who gave a baritone solo, and by
John Hauschild, who gave q saxa-

good deal of applause, while the

those present as being the best or
chestra thai ever visited the city.
