Large Crowd Present
At Splendid Concert
By Military Band

A large crowd attended the band
concert at Monument Park last eve
ming which was given by the Water
vile Military Band under the leader
ship Of George Pullen of Oakland.
There seems to be little likelihood of
Waterville people wearying of this
form of entertainment if the masses
OF men, women and children who
thronged the park last night can be
taken as a criterion. The Prisoners
Song which was played by request
proved very popular with the aud
fence, the players answering to two
encores. Each succeeding concert
testifles to growing interest in
these musical entertainments by
drawing greater number of people
together the old Coburn elms. Many
in the crowd were heard to express
their appreciation of these weekly
opportunities to hear good music in
the open air on these pleasant sum
mer evenings.
