IOhLO . DaND
After a most successful summers en-
gagement Pullo's Marine Band will
close their engagement at the Crest
pier on Labor Day, September 6. This
band has been one of the main attrac-
lions at the Crest this summer and
drew large crowds three times daily
from all parts of the island, which
taxed the capacity OF the entire front
pavilion, there seldom being a seat left
after the band had started their con
cert. The band is under the direction
of Joseph Pullo, who has made him.
self very popular here the past season.
Mr.. Pullo knows just what kind oil
music that pleases and they are heart
ly encored on each selection. This
band is by no e one of common
class but of the first class, playing all
the best music and latest and most
popular airs with perfect harmony.
Mr.. Pullo has been conducting bands
and orchestras in this country the past
five years, having been a director in
his own country before coming here.
Two years ago he travelled in the West
with his band aud last winter he con.
Quoted an orchestra in Philadelphia.
One of the features of last Sunday
evenings concert was a trombone solo
by MI. Pullo and a sextette which
was thoroughly enjoyed and apprec-
lated as was shown by the applause re-
ceived. On Labor Day night they
give their last concert for the season
and their excellent concerts will be
greatly missed by u visitors who stay
over into the fall months. Besides be-
ing good musicians the members of the
band made friends with many of our
people who pronounced them excellent
young men. Mr.. Pullo says he never
had an engagement where he liked the
people better and where they were as
appreciative of his work and showed il
as had the past summer at Wildwood
Crest.
Otto Gruendle and f. B. Haight are
tied for first place for the $23 gold piece
to be given September 1st at the Casino
bowling alleys, each n having DO wled

to be a "long dark streak" of fun. His

give them quite an ovation nightly.
