« (BY TELEGRAPH —ritESS ASSOCIATION.) Duncdin, Octobcr 20. At a meeting of the Dmiediu Presbytery to-day, the question of the correctness or otherwise of Sunday concerts was raised by the Rev. D. MacLennan, who proposed, on behalf of the Sabbath Observance Committee, that a. friendly conforence bo held with the representatives of the city and suburbs brass, bands Tritlr a view, if possible,. to tho discontinuance of Sunday afternoon concerts. The Rev. Mr. Scorgie, in seconding the motion, said it iras necessary that some move should be made. It was a frequent practice for bands tri assemble in the Caledonian Ground on the Sabbath and practice during service. Ho thought this should cease, and bandsmen should bo relieved of the Sunday morning practico and the afternoon concert. The Rev. Mr.' Irwin objected to any strong protest being made. They had tho ground cut away under their feet by the action of churchgoers who used trams on Sundays It was agreed to bold a friendly conference with representatives from bands, and see what oould bo done, in tho matter.
