The Federal Band.

We congratulate the Federal Band upon their splendid success on Sunday, their performance having, seldom,, if aver, been equalled ia Ashburton. Perhaps the most satisfactory evidence of the musical skill of the members of the band that could be given is the fact that our local musical experts apeak in such high terms of Sunday's performance. Mr Llewellyn Owen was highly pleased with it, and commented apon ib to the following effect:—Amongst other items was played an arrangement of Piccolomini's "Ora Pro Nobis." The exposition of this favorite song was superb. The triple accompaniment which the com poser has written for the refrain was articulated perfeotly. By good articulation is meant a good method of making the instrument apeak naturally, clearly, and intelligibly. The most powerful aganb in dear articulation on a wind instrument is the tongue, and an exhibition of what can be dons in this respect by careful and steady practice was given on Sunday night. In the selection, " Peace be still," the chief feature was a magnifioenb crescendo worked from the softest to the loudest tone of the b»nd. This in itself was a revelation, and it) ia certain that the effect will never be j forgotten. The attack of the band in ensemble passages is good, and very precise. Mr Owen thinks that those who were not fortunate encugh to be present last night will never regret putting off other engage ments for the performance to-night, and suggests thab the selection, " Ora Pro Noble," be repeated.

TOWN BOARD.

Hampstead-

A meeting of the Hampstead Town Board was held last Friday. Present—Messrs Maynard (chairman), Caweey, Andrews, and McEiraa. EAST BELT. A tender received by the Borough Council for forming footpath on the N.B. Town Belt was approved—Mr McElrea dissenting. POUND. The Ashburton Borough Council wrote, asking the Board to reconsider ifca resoiu tioa not to oontribu'a to the maintenance of the pound. It was resolved to contribute £2 per annum—Mr McElrea dissenting. ABATTOIRS Mr Hugo Friedlander attended as a deputa tion from the Borough G ;uncil to ask the Board to support the views of the conference of local bodies dealing with the matter of abattoirs. Mr Friedlan^er was eorry his oolleagae (Mr Scaly) waa not present to assist him in urging on the Board the necessity for joining the conference. The matter was so urgent that the deputation had boon asked to request the Board to re consider ito resolution declining to take action \ aa arrangements could be made with the freezing works, so that there would be no delay, and at the same time the Board would be at no loss. He instanced the case of Christoharch, where the Government Inspector.had stated that, with few excep tions, the premises uaed were totally unfit, from a sanitary point of view, for the prepara tion of meal} for human consumption. As another proof of the necessity for meat inspection, soms splendid looking cattle had been gold at auction, some of wh<ch had been inspected at the request of the purchaser, and h*4 be#B found badly diseased. 'J he balance of the lob had been purchased by others, and had probably gone into consumption without being inspected. He hoped the Board would reconsider its resolution, and act with the other local bodies in a matter so greatly affecting the health of the general public. He thought that immediate steps should be taken locally, and that this course would be cheaper than Government inspec tion. Dairy inspection was also a necessity. Mr Maynard said mention had been made by Government of its intention to provide legislation to deal with the question, and as Parliament was in session, the Board thought there was a prospect of the question being settled in a reasonable time and without interfering at too short notice with the interests of the butchers. Mr Andrews said licenses had been issued for a year only, half of which had expired. There was no doubt that, if inspection was to be thbrough and efficient, all stock must be slaughtered at one place. Mr Maynard said the local butchers had no objection to public abattoirs so long as they did not have to go out to the freezing works. Mr Friedlander said it would probably take two or three months to get the by-laws In force, and it would be seen by that time if the Government were going to do any thing, and the butchers would still have time to consider their po&ition. Mr Maynard moved—" That, having heard the deputation from the Conference, this Board concurs in all that has been aaid ia favor of meat inspection, and would urge on the conference the importance of pressing on the notice of the Government the desir ableness of providing legislation in this direction as early as possible."—Mr McElrea seconded, and the motion was carried. It was decided to forward copies of the above resolution to the Colonial Secretary, to the Conference, to the Timaru Town Council, and to Mr E. G. Wright, M.H.R., requesting the latter to urge the matter on the notice of Government, and to forward to the Town Board a copy when circulated of any Bill on the subject introduced in Parliament! WOBKS COMMITTEE. The Chairman reported on the work done by P. Orum, and other small repairs that had been effected. It was decided to ad vertise for offers of sections in Hampstead, suitable for a shingle pit, and the Works obmmittee yyer« asked to repot t on the fjh&nneia and what work was most pressing.
