We have been asked to mention that
the Native Brass Band will give a con
cert on the wharf to. morrow night.

The Native Brass Band paid a visit to
the lppar Asylum last night and afforded
the inmates a gaia time. We think 1t
very kind OF bandmaster Jackson and
his boys for remembering these uotor-
taaate beings for they are scarcely re-
memberea by the people in general n
these DAYS Of political turmoil. It would
be- a very good idea ii the other Band
would also remember these morlais and
follow the example by giving them a
treat the next favourable moonlght
night. DIR. MaIcolnson and wife, the hea
n rises. the R0mln Catholic priests, and
some other persons from town also en-
wed the music aud Joined 10 the ap.
palsp. The rain held up ila dlr!1g The
c~5A.4rt, and gave every body a chance %
zach their homes before the splendid
YER fell at about 1879 O'Clock.
It's "a pleasure to look at the conuibu-
ton list Of St. Thomas towards the Har-
cane Relief Fund. Those in position to
aid the less fortunate is doing their
bit whole heartedIy Such is the spirit
of ST. Ihomians.

sentation of automobiles for this
idol who was expected to stand the

And then one god was found NOR

it would have been a machine made

too much in organized ball.
He was beaten fairly, out pitched
by a tough little kid with cap down

took his defeat gamely. His second
chance today means everything to
