The town has rather an inviting appearance, and we must say that good sense and judgment were manifested in sel- ecting a central and suitable site for their handsome Carnegie Lib- rary.

The coming of the annual camp on June 3rd, however, has revived interest. and last Friday evening the boys met in the Armory to discuss the situation. xQuite a large number turned out, enough, in fact. to convince Capt. Jamieson that the band boys themselves are ready and eager to give their time and services in an endeavor to bring the band up to its oldâ€" time standard. The chief difficulty seems to lie in the fact that the boys cannot on their own resources employ a leader. Even last summer, when they had one, the Government made no provisions for lighting the Armory, but as the building is now connected with the town elec- tric light service, this latter draw- back has been removed.

While a regimental Band is not, in reality, a citizens’ affair, still it should be of more than passing interest to them whether or not Durham is to retain the Band, and, like other towns, enjoy weekly open-air concerts during the summer months.
