but lately they have had to guess pretty
bard. Mariners from out on the canal
also report strenuous times. As a mere
"approach" to the equinox It will serve.

made to understand what a really fine
entertainment Chey missed. The band
made a strong impression on every in
dividual of the audience. Perhaps it
was because not so much was expected,
and so a most agreeable surprise was

that not much was to be expected,
accounted for the absence of many trus

ten numbers, a cornet by J. GlHam,

Hughes, "Fantasia on Weber's Last j
Waltz," and a trombone by the dlrecto-,

crowd for a concert became a pood
crowd for a dance and with this excel
lent music to inspire them all danced
until midnight.
