BAND WELL'RECEIVED
Clinton's. band went to Stratford on
Tuesday evening and played for the
entertainment, of the citizens of that
Classic City, and ,this_' is how yester-
day's Beacon -Herald comments - on •itis -
performance: -
"The Clinton Kiltie Band gave a
very pleasing`' concert in Lakeside
Park last evening inpayment of -a
visit that the Perth Regiment Band
made to Clinton some time ago. The
bands under the direction of B. J.
Gibbings, opened the program with
a march, `National Emblem, fol-
lowed by the ' overture, "Drama-
tifue." Both these selections were
very nicely played, the interpretation
of the overture being exceptionally
fine. Bandsman Morgan Agnew then
played a,cornet solo„ 'International
Polka.' This, number is„arranged so
as to show off -the fine execution and
technique of the performer, and Mr,
Agnew- certainly, gave a fine demon-
stration of how the seleotion should be
played. A waltz by Elles Brooks, en-
titled "Love Eternal" followed and
then the band played the popular
march, 'Old 'Comrades' which ended
the first half of the program.
During the intermission the Clin-
ton Pipe Band played several selee-
tions, and received a good hand from
the large attendance. Tho second
half of the program opened with a
march, "Colonel•- Bogey," which was
followed by another overture, 'Car-
osal.' A trombone novelty number
followed entitled, `Ragwv• Trombone'
"'°'�` f.The popular serenade,.`Organ Echoes,'
"WE'SELZ'TE BETTER. GRADE TO BUILD THE
BETTER TRADE."
