They suc ceeded admirably In each Instance. A platform was erected Immediately In front of the shoe store of Evans and Powell, by their kind permission, and therefrom Lawrence's band discoursed sweet music. During the progress of the concert a Chinese lantern contain ing three tickets for the excursion wns set ntloat from tho building and the tickets were secured by William Saul, Thomas Barrett and Joseph Duffy. The clarionette solo "My Winnie," Is wor thy of special notice, as It is probably the finest composition of Its kind yet heard In this city. It is In three parts, the two first polka and the last a pol onaise. The piece throughout, by Its pure simplicity nnd beauty, enables the performer to bring out all those rich vibrant effects of which the clarion ette is so admirably adopted. The solo ist, R. G. Knowles, the veil known piano tuner, gave a rendition of this pence which readily Justifies his efforts both as performer and composer.
