For the past few weeks they have been very scarce but the first of this week Mr. Wm. Pinkerton landed three beauties the largest measuring 21 inches in length and weighing three pounds and fourteen ounces. This fine speckled beauty put up a real battle, as he was caught on a four ounce fly rod and it required delicate handling to land him. Mr. Pinkerton thought Thursday evening, June 2yth, at 8.15 p.m., the Flesherton junior banu and assi.sting artists are to present a varied program of band selections, solos, both vocal and instrumental, also piano duets, bagpipes, etc., in the town hall, Flesherton. This band has made very fine pro- gress and mere sentiment alone- should not prompt you to take in this concert, a.s an enjoyable evening is promised for everyone. To hear a children's band with their infectious, lively rythm. is to come away feelinj; that the world isn't such a bad place to live in after all. So snap throtigh the chores or whatever you have to do in double jig time and come out and have the best evening you-ve had in a long time. Band Organization Flesherton Junior Band provided u concert for the parents of the mem- bers 01 the band on Tuesday evening under the direction of Bandmaster C. Trickey and showed what progress young people can make under the new system of instruction. The concert was the end of the eight wee!-", trial period and to say that the parents were pleased with the result would b-j putting it mildly. The players gave everything they had to make it a success so that they could go on with their musical training. The parents decided at a meeting followir.g the program to organize and go ahead, so a junior band in Flesherton is now ai; assured fact. This decision was also made from the fact that so many have been interested in the welfare of the band and who hoped that it wovJd continue. Mr. .A. B. Cruchet, general that it required about three-quarters of an hour to subdue his antics suf- j manager of Boosey & Hawkes. was ficiently to use the net. The other i present and explained the aim of the two fish were slightly smaller than | junior band movement and hoped tl/at the big fellow, and by themselves ' the Flesherton band would be a rif' would have been something to write success.
