Rolling without Music.
There will be no music for the ''xiddiss"
on the White Lot during the egg rolling
tomorrow. There will. of course. be the
usual concert In the afternoon from TO
o'clock. but no band will be present
while the grounds are in the exclusive
possession Of the children.
II Is explained at the White House and
by Col Cosby, Superintendent OF Public
Buildings and Grounds. that the reason
the band will not play while the children
are at their egg rolling is that the chill
dTen do not want any music. It Is stated
as probable, however, that the subject
may receive consideration next year. Col
Cosby has made all arrangements this
season to carry out the same programme
as in the past.
The programme for the concert to be
given by the Marine Band at the White
Lot tomorrow follows:
