to the temperamental peculiarities of
the natives.
The band consists of twenty-five
pieces and it is welded into a har
monious whole under the able con due
torshlp of John Willard. He has his !
men in perfect control at all times
and they respond readily to to hie
leadership.
The cornet solo by Mr. Archie Dun
das was a distinguishing feature of
the evening. His tones are limpid
and pure and lie playes with a world
of artistic understanding. This num
ber evoked the most hearty applause.
The vocal solo by Mr. Eli Katanook
was very excellent although Mr.
Katanook was suffering from a slight
cold. The clarinet, obllgato by Mr.
Thomas Walton was also one- that
was well received.
The concert was so good, in fact,
that by request the natives will re
peat it tonight. The program will be
changed entirely and after the con
cert a dance will be given, the music
being furnished by the Cottage band.
