BAND FESTIVAL.
The Eloomsburg Band will hold
a festival and concert on Friday and
Saturday evenings of this week at
the Town Hall. On Saturday even
ing the Catawissa and Buck Horn
Bands will be present, and all three
will form at the Square and march
as one baud, with seventy-five mem
bers. The Bloomsburg Band was organ
ized September 7, 1870, and was in
corporated June 14. 1887. There
was a band here before 1870, and a
very gnod one too as bands went in
those days, but it was a haphazard
sort of an affair, and one was never
sura whether the town had a band
or not. Tne present organization
has been continuous for thirty three
years, and though it has had its
lapses it has always revived again,
and today it is stronger and better
than ever before.
Its continued existence is due
more to the zeal and interest of T.
L. Gnnton than any other one man.
He is now and has been for some
years its President, and its present
condition is due largely to his efforts.
Mr. Calhoun, the new leader, is
bringing the band up to a higher
plane than ever belore.
But it costs money to run a band.
New instruments new uniforms,
the leader's salary, music and many
ether items of expense are con
stantly to be met, and they must
oome lareelv from the public which
has so frequently had the benefit of
the free concerts ot tne Dana. 1 nis
festival is to be held for the purpose
of raising money to defray expens
es, and a liberal response should be
given. A good baud is a credit to
the town, and everybody wants it.
The only way to have it and keep
it is by helping the cause along with
your means and your presence.
A word which has become
a household one in Blooms
f burg. It is the mark of all

credit tbey put up a very pretty
neiaing game, tne worn ot Hertz
at second and Logan at short, two
players borrowed from the Milton
team for the occasion, being partic
ularly brilliant. The playing of the
Wilmington s was absolutely flaw
less and there isn't even a semblance
of a weak spot in the whole team
The game was witnessed by a big
crowd, many of them being attract
ed to the grounds principally to see
Dr. Aldinger, John Hummel and
Bert Everson, who played in town
many years ago, in action. They
were well repaid for going and
everybody left the field in a happy
mood.
