' . / There is an old "saying tha t nobody is ever missed, tha t always somebody is a t hand equally competent to step into the breach. While in the aggregate th is is correct, in many individual instances it is most untrue. We believe this latter applies in the case of Mr. Delambnt. Should he ever decide to mbve.on to a broader field for his talents than is to.be found in Greater Vancouver, it is doubtful if anyone will be found amongst us with his peculiar ability for band training and leadership. . - "• \And then th e re Js Principal : Condon, the manager _ of, tjie Jand .
