&#13;
Old Times in Old Concord.&#13;
&#13;
The Ladies of the Church Aid Society purpose commemorating the 19th of April, 1775, by reproducing a household of the Colonial days. It has been arranged to give a reception during the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of the current month, which will be a festival of the olden time, exhibiting a frontier kitchen, and the domestic customs of our ancestors. For this purpose the dwelling of Mr. Fuller, on Monument Street, has been made ready. Visitors from a distance on their way to the Battle-Ground of 1775 will obtain a glimpse of Concord as it is and as it was, and will be afforded an opportunity of a place to rest and lunch. &#13;
&#13;
A genuine Tally-ho Coach, with a contemporaneous driver and guard, will carry passengers to and from the dwelling, the depot, and the battle-field. For the entertainment of children, juvenile games of an hundred years ago will be revived, and the ladies and gentlemen in charge of the Festival will appear in old-fashioned costumes.&#13;
&#13;
Note.—Monday, 20th. A Supper will be served at 6 P. M., consisting of dishes prepared from our grandmothers' "Cook-Book."&#13;
Tuesday, 21st. Concert by the Village Choir at 8 P.M., consisting of old Songs, Fugues, Rounds, and Catches.&#13;
Wednesday, 22d. An evening Party at 8 P.M., at which the Minuet, Sir Roger de Coverley, and antique Cotillons will be presented.&#13;
&#13;
Tickets may be obtained of members of the Church Aid Society, or of Mr. H. L. Whitcomb, Postmaster. &#13;
Afternoon admission, 35 cents. Evening admission, 50 cents. </text>
