The festival held by the Bloonis burg Band Friday and Saturday evenings was a success. Large crowds were present both evenings. Saturday evening the Catawissa, Buckhorn and Blootusburg Bands united at Barton street, and march ed to the Town Hall, playing "On ward Christian Soldiers." The rendition of the grand hymn was splendid, and called forth much favorable comment. Not having played together, our people were not expecting the beauty and brilli ance which marked their playing. It is estimated that the Band will realize in the neighborhood of $200 for which the members are very grateful. The band wishes, not only to extend its thanks to the public for the liberal patronage, but also to the ladies who assisted ihem as waitresses and to the Catawissa and Buckhorn Bands for their pres ence and aid. As we have already stated in these columns, the Band under the direction of Mr. Calhoun has made great progress. His purpose is to keep on and his gifts and perseverance make possible yet mftre notable results. R. V.
