THE tt EATER.
American Regimental Band at Luna
Park.


No band so far this season has brought
out the immense crowds or won the re-
peated salvos Of applause that is daily be-
ing accorded the American Regimental
Band. Twenty-one thousand people at
tended last Sundays concerts, which, by
right Of fitness. puts this exalted musical
body few laps ahead Of Its predecessors
from a drawing standpoint. Director
Weaver, the bands magnetic conductor
composer, in recognition of his rare ability
along these lines, was the recipient of a
profusion of floral tributes, one of the most
fragrant and costly coming from Band
master Haley, the popular leader OF the
Washington Orchestra Band, who withdrew
from the park in favor of the Weaver con-
tingent.
An attraction scheduled to appear at the
park commencing July Is Beachey and
his famous airship.. Beachey brings with
him what is conceded to be the greatest
piece of mechanism and aerial ingenuity
ever projected. He will make frequent
ascents from the park with the grace and
buoyancy of a bird, plotting his machine
in any course that might suit his fancy.
The Beachey airship, from a showman's
viewpoint. is pronounced the most stupen-
dous sensation of the age. and the Beachey
skyboat is the only one science has Endorsed
as being practical and safe.
Manager Goodfellow, upon learning that
his predecessor last season at the park
charged an admission fee of % cents to
all those wishing to view the machine con-
siders such an extortion and injustice to the
parks patrons, and, with a view Of giving
the public an Insight into the general con-
structon of this marvellous apparatus, it is
his intention to place the airship on ex-
hibition where 1t can be inspected by all
who visit the park free of charge.
The Laurent trio who are furnishing the
free vaudeville upon the hippodrome stage,
have scored heavily with their aerial gym
nastic work, and the many concessionaires
punctuated about the park have no COM
plant to file for want of patronage.
What promises to be the banner day of
the season will be July 3, which will be
known as National Union day. An assem-
blage of 5000 members is contemplated.
The large number of names already en-
rolled for next Saturdays baby show makes
it evident that it will be the most complete
affair of the kind ever held in this section of
the country.

Ouldas celebrated love romance, Moths"
will be presented by the Columbia Theater
company for the ninth week of its success
ful summer engagement. Hiss Hilda Spong
Will appear as Vera, the charming heroine
of this widely known romance and she
may easily be expected to add another to
her list of successes. Miss Charlotte Wal
ker will have another ideal role in the part
of Fuchsia Leach, breezy young America
girl. Moths is one of the landmarks of
dramatic success. Ouida's original story
was tremendous success, and it's dramati-
zation when originally presented some
twenty years ago at Wallack's famous old
theater in New York was also pronounced
hit, much so that when the great Actors

mund Tearle, the late E. j. Henley, Charles
Coote, Miss Fortescue, Georgia Drew Bar

one, and the version of the play to be used

pared by Henry Hamilton, the author of
Harvest and other plays and writer of
lyrics for THE School Girl THE Duchess
of DaEtzic" and other English musical pro-
auctions. The romance treats of the en-
forced marriage of Vera, young woman
fresh from the convent, with brutal Rus
sian prince. This marriage is brought about

SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Chamber of Commerce Committee En-
deavoring to Select Building Location.

At meeting of the building committee
of the Washington Chamber of Commerce
held yesterday afternoon consideration was
given the proposition of the selection of
site for the proposed building. President
Harper reported that some difficulty had
been experienced in getting options on
some of the sites previously offered. This,
he said had reduced the number of avail
able sites. President Harper said the op-
tons had failed because owners had sought
to advance the price of their property when
ii came to signing options.
After President Harpers report it was
decided to seek three or four other sites,
and to this end the meeting adjourned to
meet Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock
The committee on membership has con-
sidered and passed upon the names of
hfty-four new members to the chamber.
This committee will meet again next Mon
day to consider such other names as may
be ready at that time.
1t Is understood that the initial meeting
or the retail trade committee will be held
tomorrow evening at GUIDE Hall.
