casion will be furnished by the Mu-
nicipal Band consisting of twenty

tors of the Y. NJ. Ii. A.. the commits
sion has been asaured of a platform

ance of the season. Henry Fl. Nuss-
taum, general secretary of the Y.
NJ. II. A, notified Commissioner

ton will donate the use of their por-
table platform for the concerts. This

vide much needed illumination.

Wednesday night, is scheduled for
