Marine Band at Chevy Chase Lake.
Chevy Chase Lake with its brilliant IL
luminations. beautiful grounds, and excel
lent amusements will be reopened Deco
ration Day. May 80 The main attraction
for the summer season, and one especial
ly popular with the amusement-loving
public of this city, will be evening con-
certs by section of the United States
Marine Band. Lieut.. William II. Santel-
mann. the director of the band, has Sc
lected his best musicians for these con-
.certs. and has personally arranged the
programmes for the opening week, which
is an assurance that they will be all to
he desired. Band concerts will be given
regularly on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sun
days from until II p. m.
The most noticeable improvement about
the grounds is the band stand erected on
the brow Of the hill just south of the
dancing pavilion. 1t is of excellent size,
enclosed on three sides. handsomely deco
rated and brilliantly Illuminated Lieu
tenant Santelmann, who is an acknowl-
edged authority on such matters, consid-
ers the band stand at Omaha, Neb., the
best adapted to converts, of any In which
ne has ever directed. The new band stand
at Chevy Chase Lake has been built after
plans drawn by Lieutenant Santelmann,
and is said to be an improvement on the
one at Omaha. Seating accommodations
have been provided for 5000. Rustic
benches and roomy chairs have been
paced in the most advantageous positions
for hearing the band. The chairs are
fastened two and three together to ac-
commodate small parties.
The dancing pavilion has also received
much attention. The floor has been
planed. sandpapered, waXed, and polished
until il is as smooth as Q mirror. The
music for dancing will be furnished by
uniformed brass band under the direction
Of Prof Donald Mcleod. Mondays,

The big red curtain which covers the
living picture frame at Chase's conceals
a scene of activity that can hardly be
imagined after its folds have been drawn
back to show the living art studies. In
viewing these pictures from an orchestra

affair is regulated, yet no proximate idea
IS possible until the act is seen from be-
