OPEN AIR CONCERT
Emu DYED BY MANY

Pensacolians again enjoyed the
pleasures of an open air concert last
night with the second appearance of
the Deep Water City band, under the
direction of Prof. A. c. Reilly. This
concert, as before, was held in West
Mallory Court, and was attended by
hundreds of Pensacolians and men of
the army and navy. Such occasions
have special appeal to the service
men, and cordial invitation is issued
to them to attend
Better provisions were made for
the concert last night, a band stand
having been erected in the central
portion of the park, and rows of
benches placed on the grass for the
benefit of the ladies who attend The
band displayed excellent results OF
the training which it has undergone,
and was vigorously applauded.
The program which was arranged
for the evening was well balanced,
and gave much pleasure. 1t was as
follows:

teams are in excellent shape, and al
though the locals defeated the navy
men yesterday afternoon, it is gener-

its best pitcher, but held him in
readiness for the contest today.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the game this afternoon, and it
