DOG AT CONCERT
BARKS AT THE ORCHESTRA PACIFIED BY CONDUCTOR An amusing incident occurred during the performance of the first item at the Bohemian Orchestra's concert in tho Town Hall last evening, when a largo dog with a very penetrating bark advanced menacingly down ono of the ground floor aisles. Ushers hastily attempted to remove the dog, but it£ barks only became louder. Mr. Colin Muston, however, while conducting the orchestra with one hand, •was able to make pacifying gestures with the other to the dog, who, on reaching the front row of seats, sat down and gazed with rapt attention and in perfect quietness at the orchestra, which concluded the item •without further interruption. Mr. Muston, having already succeeded where ushers had failed, lost no time in descending from the stage and leading the unwelcome patron out of the hall.
