Hdid P,n Vmm ttis fact that a Wrbut lm-
presslon prevails among the people tn regard id
the Ball si last Saturday night, I lake the linen
tv ot asking you to oublish the following facta
ortbocaeola exoneration of the C tizens Cot
net Band! About two weeks ago to day. a gen
tleman II desire to wlthhoM names) who ap
peared to bo Chairman of Ihe Commlitoo of ar.
rangements on Ihe " ox Koaiv came io mo auu
said thev would like tho Band to play on the
evening ot the "Or Roast," and foronr pay they
would tiko np a collection. I anawereo, tnnt
wo wonld Play for them on those terms: a few
days aftcrwarj this eme gentleman Informed
me that the Committee had met and had decld.
ed to have a ball at the close of the Ox Roast,
the xecelptaot which as well oi thecoUeotlon.
should be oar pay. This atrai.gcment appear,
ed to me a liberal ono, consequently I sgreed to
turnlth all the "necessary rou.lo." This, Mr.
Editor, Is all the Band had to do With the ar.
rangements, and li anyrthlng occurred that
merits censure, outsldi of the muiio. I hope the
School Board as well as thb people, will in jus
tice to the Band put the blame where It be
longa. We agreed to furnish raualo for an "Ox
Roast," onr pay was to be the receipts ot a ball
and a collection.
Hoping this may have the desired effect and
thanking you lor tho use of your columns.
I remain. Yours Truly,
