fit ball last evening in City Hall that
was an interesting and well-attended
affair. At five o'clock in the after
noon the boys paraded. and again
at 7.3O, after which they gave a
short open-air concert from the We
randa of the Hotel Worster. Their
fine playing received much favorable
comment.
After the concert they adjourned
to City Hall. Pierce's six-piece or

dance. There was a good crowd,
good music, and all the guests en-
joyed the occasion greatly. The pro-
ceeds of the ball are to go toward
the purchase of new uniforms for
the band. They are badly needed
in many instances, as the boys have
out-grown their former uniforms.
The organization is one of which
the community is justly proud.
