0'BanyOun's
Observations

The Boston Massacre ObSer-
vance, at st. Cyprian's Church,
tomorrow, at $3.50, is an atfalr
which should pack the church to
overfowing. The History Week
has been stretched out, as 1t
should be, and threatens to last
the year round, as it should.
The resonant baritone of James
L. Brown and the soulful violin
of Ralph Lawson are themselves
an added attraction which
should draw music lovers, as
well as those who wish to honor
the memory of one of OUR pat
riots. Then, the st. Cyprian's
Drum and Bugle Corps, which
so thrilled Mayor Hynes, at the
observance of Frederick Doug
lass birth, which so thrilledET
lass birth, will get into the
celebration, also.
