conveniences and amusement features Of

perfect and literally patronized, while on

the thrilling water chutes. For those who
are venturesome- there is the rolIer-coas-
ter, ride which is said to be thrilling III
the extreme. There are boats galore for
those who have nautical tastes, in fact
varied amusements. The concerts by the
Twin City Mandolin orchestra have proven
a delightful feature and are to be con-
unued. Popular and artistic selections in
terspersed with dance music add much
to the pleasure of the afternoon and even
ing amusement programme at this resort.

The afternoon and evening concerts
which are to be given at Lake Harriet,
beginning July 23 promise to be enjoya-
BILE. The red band consists of fifty musi-
clans. The Boston Transcript is credited
with paying this tribute to this attrac-
ton: THAT was a musical experience
worth having; one to upset many of ones
notions of military band music Its play
ing is superb. The enormous effectiveness
of their playing dramatic selections is, no
doubt, largely to be charged to the credit
of Mr.. Sorrentino, their conductor. He
lets no chance for a fine effect escape.
We can only say that he who misses hear
ing this band, misses tremendously and
unusually good thing
