CONCERT IN THE PARK.
viii BE Given Tomorrow Night by
the First Regiment Band.

After having reached a point of per-
in this city. it begins to look as if
there is serious danger of the First
Regiment Band being disbanded. Capt.
Walter E. Coney, the regimental ad
jutant under whose military jurisdic-
ton the band comes, had the follow
ing to say upon the subject when seen
yesterday:
Yes, there is a probability that our
band will have to give up its plucky
fight for existanve, unless it receives
aid. The aid desired is not necessarily
a cash subscription. but musical en-
ployment There is practically MOTH
ing doing now in the way of picnics,
parades or dances, and with the ex-
ception of the few men employed reg
ularly the band has to spend the time
in idleness. although the management
pays them a weekly salary and IS
thus losing money With only two
$40 engagements each week, in addi-
ton to those now under contract, the
band could exist.
THE band has lived through its
ups and downs without ever call
ing upon the public for
financial assistance, and is now con-
ceded by all to be a first class musical
organization, the best the town has
ever had. 1t would be a pity to see the
enterprise fail and it should not be
permitted. If the city government can
not see its way clear to appropriate
more money for public concerts, some
enterprising citizens, either individ-
ually or by collective subscription,
could do a good thing by compliment
ing the general public with series of
park concerts"
The band has already given several
park concerts, but the hours do not
seem to have been we'll chosen, and
tomorrow night from $50 to 1870, a
concert will be given under the au-
spices of the regiment. from the bands
stand in the park. to which the public
is cordially invited. In addition TO the
fifteen pieces of the band not on duty
at the Casino, the regiments drum
and bugle corps will also be heard for
the first time. Bandmaster Gordon
promises a splendid programme. and
it is hoped the public will turn out in
force.

COAST LINE CIRCULAR.

Another One Is Looked for To-day.
The official circulars defining the
status and duties of the officials of the
Atlantic, Coast Line in Savannah is ex-
pected to-day. The circular, it was
understood, would be issued in Will
mington yesterday. Most of the off,
Gals and employees of the Coast Line
here know now about where they are
at" but the circular will settle the
matter officially. 1t is not unlikely that
a number of changes may be made
later on as the opera tion of the con-
solidated roads may require.
The Richmond Fredericksburg and
Potomac and the Washington South

Washington and Richmond, are to be

of Richmond has already been let The
work involves more than double track

year for its completion. These two
roads carry a very heavy traffic, as all

PHILLIPS PARACHUTE LEAP.


Prof. z. NJ. Phillips, who so success
fully made the balloon ascensions at
the Casino last season, has been re-
engaged by Manager Nelson to make
one of his daring parachute jumps
Sunday. July so. Mr.. Nelson guaran-
tees his patrons that the ascension will
take place as advertised and will give
the Savannahians a treat.
This weeks attraction at the popu-
lar resort is a meritorious one and is
literally patronized. The yacht races
will also take place on Sunday. and as
the rivalry has got to be a bitter one
a good race may be looked for.
