BAND OF BROOK BOOSTERS BOOM COMING EVENT.

Thirty-Eight Auto Loads Come to Rensselaer to Tell Us About Fall Festival Over There. Covered with dust, about a hundred people, including the band, came in 88 automobiles to Rensselaer today to inform us that there is something doing in our neighborly town three days next week, viz. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 18, 19 and 20. It is a harvest festival and from bills distributed it looks to be the “best bet” of the week. There are to be five free acts, three ball games, and daily band concerts. The Brook band played severel selections on the courthouse lawn and a good sized crowd of Rensselaer people gathered and enjoyed it and the visit of the live-wire Brookites.
