SUMNER CONCERTS.
THERE WILL BE FEAsTs OF MUSIC THE
COMING SEASON.
The open-Air Concert Meeting Com
mittees Appointed to PUSH
the Matter to Success.

the Matter to Success.
1t is pretty safe to say that there will be
open-air concerts this summer, and more
OF them than have heretofore been given
during any previous season. This will de-
pend, however, on the public spirit of the
citizens, and If the canvassing committees
meet with liberal responses, as undoubtedly
they will, there is every reason to believe
from the activity shown by the executive
committee in the matter-that this years
season of concerts will far eclipse all for
mer efforts. The committee have already
held meeting, and all the preliminaries
have been arranged.
Chairman ] g. MARITIME presided, and in
calling the meeting to order thanked the
committee and citizens for the honor con-
ferred in selecting him as President, and
said he felt assured that, with the hearty
cooperation of the executive and other
committees, this would be equal if not
ahead of any season of concerts yet held in
this city. He hoped, when the soliciting
committees called on our merchants and
thing, as these concerts did great deal of
good IN advertising the city and her beauti-
full homes. Hundreds came here from the
surrounding country to be present at this
outdoor amusement. But this was not
all. How many families are there among
US, he asked, who have not been blessed
with an over-abundance of this worlds
goods, and who, with large families, cannot
afford 10 visit the seaside in the fashionable
season, attend these open-air concerts? TO
this class they are great blessing, as we'll
as to all others who enjoy an evening of
sweet music during the balmy summer
evenings.

pointed, the President, Treasurer and Sec
rotary to be included as ex officio members
