The band is highly spoken of, and there will be plenty of good music during the fair. Following is the manner in which the band is spoken of by Watertown Public Opinion:There was not an unoccupied seat in the Grand opera house, on Friday evening, the occasion of the second concert given by the Watertown Cornet band. The concert had been widely advertised, and as the people of Watertown were to some extent familiar with what these boys were able to do, everyone wanted to go. And go they did; not to be disappointed at all, but to be surprised at the progress the band has made since its tirst concert.The boys were dressed in their new uniforms, and as the curtain rolled up and revealed them artistically arranged on the stage, they commanded the admiration and applause of everyone in the house. The members are mostly mere lads who by persistent and faithful work have come to know their instruments and pares well. They have been under the direction of B. F. Rohloff, one of the best musicians of the city, who has brought them to their present state of efficiency. He, with the work of TIiram B. Harrison in assisting and managing, is largely responsible for the success of the band and the concert.The band played live pieces during the program, at well selected intervals, and every number was a treat to the audience. The first piece was “America Forever Victorious.” The band handled the piece finely, which term characterized their work during the rest of the evening. They played four pieces as regular numbers of the program, but the enthusiasm of their auditors called them back and they had at each time a bright piece with which to respond. The last piece was the “Red, White and Blue.” The “red coats” played this inspiring air with a burst of patriotism that evidenced their love of country as well as the way in which they enter into the spirit of their music.Sot*SecSoiCODSt.hacBoiforAbTinsougrcaucporthecuthillsplSoiwitmilillbuithepr(billbeDaof Ilocsplt;buDO^platiosoforsta Hu ot Y ovlt; sio formide
