mttee on fireworks, Chairman Warner of
the committee, and VIII A. Haley, leader of
Haley's Band, signed contract this morn
ing whereby Haleys Band engages itself to
provide music for the fireworks display
Under the provisions of the fireworks con-
tract 1t Is probable the display will con-
tinue through Saturday evening. If this
should not be done, however, Haeys Band
is to give an open air concert without extra
charge.
Lieutenant Santlemann, leader of the Ma
rine Band, was in conference with Chair
man Hay of the committee on music today
He expressed his regret that the entire Ma
rine Band had not been employed to march
in the grand parade on Wednesday, October
s, and explained that because the whole or
ganization had not been so employed half
of the band had been engaged by a. New
York post. 1t is suggested at headquarters
however, that the entire band may be or
dered out for the parade

of photographs to be used in the official
program. He will obtain portraits of ali
the officers of the G. A. r. all officers of
the executive committee and such other
