The splendid success which attended the
Post-Inteliigencer's series Of al fresco mu-
sieaies last summer has induced the man.
agement OF the paper to again inaugurate
thar popular entertainment for the pres
snt season C0mmencing 1ext Saturday
and continuing at intervals the First Reg
irnent band will give concerts in front
OF the Cherry street entrance to the Post
1ntelligencer building No more hearty
Endorsement has ever been given public
enterprise than that which the magnifi-
cent crowds of all elements of society
gave the concerts last summer, which led
up to the series of successful concerts at
the Seattle theater during the season Just
closed. the first of which WAS compii-
mentary one TO the patrons and friends
of the -1nteiligencer
This year the popularity of the "P.-I.
concerts promises to be repeated, and the
improved condition of Cherry street will
allow the crowds TO partake of the SYM
phonic refreshments offered with greater
degree of comfort than attended the con-
certs last year. The management has de-
cided to allow the public RI make its own
choice of music for the first concert and
with this idea in view suggestions are In
vited fer the making up of the programme
for Saturday night. These suggestions are
to be addressed 10 the musical editor or
the Observation-Disclosures. and will be re-
ceived not later than Thursday evening.
The selections asked for will be printed
from day to day and from them Band
master Wagner will make up his pro-
gramme for Saturday night.
1t is not expected that everything asked
for Will be played. but the public DISPOSE
ton will be consulted as far as 1t Is prac-
teal. One, of the attractive pieces. the
public rendition of which Is looked for
ward to with much pleasure. is MIR. Sol
Ashers new march, "Cervus Alces," dedi-
Gated to Seattle Lodge No. 81. e. F. O.
Eiks. Besides this particular selection.
Band master Wagner has announced that
there will be new music received fire.
quently through the summer that will In
ciude the Eastern musical successes.
All of the members of the fine organlza
ton that has made Seattle famous for its
band music are retained. and the same
quality that attached itself TO the con-
certs of 1895 will be found in those of this
year The diversity of character in the
musical repertoire of the band Is calcu-
lated To appeal TO every variety Of taste.
There are thousands of selections from
the masters that are always good and al
ways In demand by the classlcally dis
posed lovers of music, and the later pro-
auctions of modern composers add spice
and snap to the soberer harmony that Is
eminently fitting to the popular taste.
1t is with a great deal of pardonahle
pride that the Post-Intelligencer an
nounces its third year in the line of pro-
viding popular concerts, and the satisfac-
ton derived from its enterprise and the
many kind things said of the concerts of
last year go great way toward reward
ing 1t for further attempt to give the
citizens Of Seattle wholesome entertain
