 all attending was greatly enhanced by the performance of an 

 excellent amateur orchestra, for which the Committee were in- 

 debted to the good offices of Mr. Jno. Reed, and the kindness,

 was transmitted to these gentlemen.

 Committee is of the opinion that if too frequently repeated the 

 interest is liable to flag, and thus, the chief end of these gather- 

 ings defeated.
