The wires back of the transâ€" former house were struck by the lightning, and it took about an hour for the necessary repairs to be made and the light service to be resumed. During this time the audience sat quietly in the darkened theatre, the only means of illumiation â€" available being an occasional candle. Without the lights the Band could not go on with the programme and the audience had to make the best of the delay. When the lights came on again the programme was proceeded with and proved to be one of the very best yet. The Timmins Citizen‘s Band was out in foree and in exceptionally good form, the work of the Band winning very general approval and praise." The selections by the Band included ; March, ‘‘Diamond Crown"‘; overture, J ‘‘Le Diadem‘‘; overture, ‘‘Norma‘"‘; \r‘l‘he intense heat during the day and the threatening storm at night inâ€" terfered very materially with the atâ€" tendance at the band concert in the (Gioldfields Theatre on Sunday evenâ€" ing, The attendance, indeed, was the smallest at any band concert in the past four or five years. The audience however, was an appreciative one and the programme was much enjoyed by all present. The order was the best at any recent gathering. ‘‘Le Diadem‘‘; overture, ‘‘Norma‘"‘; selection, ‘*Songs of the Old Folks.‘‘ The Band under the leadership of Bandmaster ‘F. J. Wolno played each selection in very effective and pleasâ€" ing way. _ Bandsman Lloyd made a decided hit with his finely rendered cornet solo, ‘*The Lost Chord."‘‘ He was very enthusiastically encored, and his responding number ‘*‘The Rosary,"‘ was equally pleasing and delighted all. _A special feature of the programme was the vocal solo "‘Killarney,‘‘ by Bandsman J. B. Pare, with band accompaniment. Mr. Pare‘s fine tenor voice and his exâ€" pressive rendition of this attractive number delighted the music lovers present, while there were also compliâ€" ments for the talented band accomâ€" paniment. â€" Mr. Jas Geils in a spirited and sympathetic rendition of the ‘*March of the Cameron Men,""‘ was at his best, which is something specially good. _ The audience expressed its hearty approval of the fine rendition of a fine song by insistent encore The programme throughout was a very creditable one and found very general favour.
