PLAN A CONCERT
SERIES IN ORANGE
Band of Twenty Pieces to Per-
form if Mr.. Markwith's
Scheme Goes Through.

Plans are under way to have a series
of band concerts held on the Orange
Military Common, and on Monday an
effort will be made to start subscrip-
tions for the first concert. Concerts
were given on the common for ten
years, but during the last two years
they have been omitted.
L. r. Markwith, of Orange, the we'll
known musician, will start Monday
morning to solicit subscriptions, and
anticipates hal the necessary money
for the series will be readily secured.
1t is understood that several of the
labor unions will assist in helping the
cause.
If the concerts are given Mr.. Mark
with has promised to have a band of
twenty pieces on the Lew
Anderson, cornet s~oloist, will be the
leader.
About three concerts will be given
at the Orange Park. through the gen.
erosity Of Colonel Austen Colgate this
year. Former concerts on the common
were largely attended and the hope has
been expressed that the municipality
will take UP the scheme in the near
future.
