A Lovp BLOW FOR PHILIPSBURG.—
Philipsburg was full of blow on Friday
last. It was the day of the annual band
tournament of the North Western Pennsyl-
vania and Western New York band asso-
ciation, and a small regiment of bands com-
peted for the various prizes offered. Those
winning were the following: Volunteer
band, DuBois. first prize, $150 ; Tyrone city
band, Tyrone, second prize, $75; Falls
Creek band, Falls Creek, third prize, $40 ;
South Fork band, South Fork, fourth prize,
$25 ; Excelsior band, DuBois, fifth prize,
$10. All the contestants played the same
overature, Franz von Suppe’s ‘‘Jolly Rob-
bers.” The judge was W. H. Anstead,
editor of the Metronome, New York city.
He was placed in a tent where he could
not see them, and knew only by numbers.
Out of a possible 100 points the winning
band scored 99; Tyrone, 96; Falls Creek
95; South Fork 74; Excelsior 69. The
Excelsior band, of DuBois, won $10
offered by the proprietor of the Lloyd
house for the band making the best
showing in musical ability and appear-
ance while playing a quickstep on the
march and during a short halt. The next
convention and tournament of the asso-
ciation will be held in Tyrone in June,
1899.

FosTER’S WEATHER PREDICTION.—The
next storm wave will reach the Pacific
coast about the 30th, cross the west of
Rockies country by July 1st, great central
valleys 2nd to 4th, the eastern States 5th.
Warm wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about the 30th, great central
valleys July 2nd, eastern States July 4th.
Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies
country about July 3rd, great central val-
leys 5th, eastern States 7th.
Temperature of the week ending 8a. m.,
July 4th, will average below normal east
of the Rockies and about on the Pacific
slope. Rainfall for the same period will
be above normal in the Rocky mountain
countries and about on the Pacific slope.
Rainfall for the same period will be above
normal in the Rocky mountain countries,
and the Missouri valleys west of the river,
about normal on the Pacific slope and the
New England States, and below nor-
mal about the upper lakes, in the Ohio
valley in the southern States.
My next bulletin dated June 25th, will
give a general forecast of July weather and
as the 1898 drought will be most effective
in July and August it will be of unusual
interest to know in what parts of the
country the drought will be severe enough
to injure crops.
