already had two sites offered for the
prospective open air concerts this sum
mer. The first offer, by Company II.
was the elevated pavement IN front Of
the armory, on Delaware street. The
second is q platform on the Opera House
pavement, by the Columbia Athletic Club
OF course both these sights would be
subject 70 the approval aud permission OF
Mayor Herbert, but as the latter is pro.
gressive citizen and public-spirited man,
there is little doubt Of his endorsement.

nent site can be made for a few weeks. II
Is suggested that the band give a concert
next week at Company II, aud on the
following week at the Columbia Athletic
