PROMENADE CONCERT
ONE TO BE GIVEN EVERY WEEK
DAY IN SUMMER.
Col. Symons Arranges for the Enter
tainment of Washingtonians-
.4 Parks Utilized.

=, With the approval of the President and
the Secretaries of. War and the Navy, Col.
Symons, the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, has arranged
to provide a promenade concert in one or
the other of the public parks of Washington
on every week day next year beginning
June / and ending October Is. The main
features of the plan have been agreed upon
but many Of the details are not yet per-
fected. ss.
So far as arranged the services Of the Ma
rine Band, the Engineer Band at Washing
ton barracks and the Cavalry Band at Fort
Myer will be utilized for these concerts
Each of these bands will give two concerts
each week or six in all, similar in general
arrangement to the sem-weekly concerts
now given during the summer at the White
House and Capitol grounds by the Marine
band
The question as to the places where these
concerts shall be given is not finally set
tied, beyond Colonel Symons' present in
tention to have the Marine Band give one
concert week in the Smithsonian grounds
and another in the White House grounds
One of the other bands will probably be
the Capitol grounds.
No provision has yet been made for the
remaining three secular days of the week
in each week, but it is Colonel Symons
desire and intention to locate the concerts
in different sections of the District in order
to provide as many people as possible with
frequent concerts near their homes.
Provision will undoubtedly be made for
the west end, which section has never been
favored with regular concerts There are
a number of fine parks in that section of
the city which would be available for the
purpose.
The idea of making this arrangement for
next summer So far ahead is to give ample
time for the construction and erection of
the necessary hand stands The District is
a music-lovingA community, and Colonel
Symons' effortsrs to ptovide outdoor pleas
ure for the stay-at-homes next summer will
undoubtedly be highly appreriated
