 check today from the New Orleans Mo bile and Chicago Railroad company for

The park concerts arranged by the Music Study club and which have given so much pleasure this summer will be presented during the remainder of the season only on Sunday afternoons A variation from this plan, however, will be the concert this evening at Avon dale park. A request for one of the programmes comes from the women of Avondale, who have taken much inter- est in the park music idea and many of whom have expressed a wish to assist next summer in making the concerts permanent with the hope of having a series presented at Avondale park. The musicians who have themselves shown the greatest anxiety to give pleasure this summer by their playing readily consented
 The music will begin this evening at Avondale at 8 o'clock.
