IN THE SQUARE.
THE MUSIC OF THE BAND. It seems fair to assume after yesterday's proceedings, at the wharves that musio hath no charms to soothe tho striker's breast. Throughout the day tho Wellington Waterside Workers' Band played selections from time to time, in tho Post Office Squaro, including among their number the inflammatory strains of "The Marsellaiso." There was a crowd of anything between 1000 and 2000 people in the Square throughout tho day, but only on rare occasions did tho thick of it desert tho gates of tho Queen's Wharf. !Not even tho lively lilt of a march or tho finer effect ot an operatic fantasia could persuade the strikers to listen to the musio, which wns often drowned by tho furious orios of tho crowd as it attempted to rush the gatoa.
