Music for Capital.

Washingtonians who have en-
joyed the free public concerts
that have been given in the parks
by the government bands during
the past ten years are given an
opportunity this week to low
their appreciation of this enter
tainment. A big municipal fete
in honor of the bandsmen will be
held at Brightwood reservoir Sat-
urday afternoon, and the public
is asked to contribute to a fund
which will be presented to Uncle
Sans musicians. Donations of
any amount will be gladly re-
ceived. If every citizen who has
listened to one of the concerts will
make small contribution a fund
of sufficient size will soon be
raised. The Star will be glad to
receive contributions in behalf of
the citizens committee which is
arranging for the testimonial.

slowly and unless more general re-
Spouse is recorded in the next few days
Washingtonians will have overlooked
an opportunity to show any substan-
tial appreciation Of the free entertain
ments the government bands have been
providing in Washington for several
years.
The testimonial, which is to he staged
at Brightwood reservoir Saturday aft
ernoon and, in all probability, will be
witnessed by President Wilson and
Mrs. Norman Gait, his fiancee, will be
free to the pubic, but contributions are
sought in order that a money testi-
monial may be presented to each men,
Der of the three government bands.
So far contributions received amount
to less than $50, whereas fund of sew
eral hundred dollars is required if the
bandsmen are to be remembered in any
substantial way.
Contributions may be sent either to
The Star or c. ]. Gockeler. treasurer, at
the Board of Trade. 1t is pointed out
that a donation of few cents by each
person who has listened to the band
concerts will soon swell the fund to
practicable size.
Citizens Associations Donate.
Three citizens associations-the Park
View, Brookland and Midcity-have
made donations. and it is hoped that
favorable responses will be received
from other civic bodies, all of which
have been asked to cooperate in max
ing the undertaking a success.
Those who attend the show at the
reservoir grounds will be given an OPP
portunity TO make voluntary contribu-
lions. but the entertainment itself, in
ly free.
There is possibility that II the show
is a success ii will grow into a great
annual fall festival and that the gov
eminent departments will be asked to
declare half holidays for the celebra-
tion in the future. The plan is not to
stage the fete as a testimonial for the
bands in the future, but merely to make
IT a municipal picnic for the enjoyment
of Washingtonians at a time of the
most favorable.
Many Entries for Events.
Melvin c. Hazen. chairman of the ar
engagements committee for the testi-
monial. announced today that many en-
tries have been received for the vari-
Gus events. and all Indications point to
II being one of the best outdoor shows
ever given in Washington. Entries for
the races and other events should be
sent to Mr. Hazen in the District build
ing. Prizes for the winners of the va
rious events have been offered by a
number of merchants and others and
the complete list of donors will be an
nounced later. Also the winners will
be given silver cups and cash prizes
provided by the committee.
