More than 1000 people last night,
crowded about the grounds at School
No. to listen to the music furnish
ed by the Columbus Italian Union
Band of this city in the third of the
series of concerts now being given
under the auspices of the Park Com
mission. The people came in all
sorts of conveyances, some in hand
some motorcars while others from
the country section around Fords
and Metuchen drove to town with
old Dpbin. 1t was the most cosmo-
politan audience that has attended
the concerts to date.
Although the band gave an ex-
cellent concert there was some COM
plant because of the long wait be-
tween the selections. Some declare
or twelve minutes which were in
deed tiresome. Commissioner Ed
ward Lembcke, who is chairman of
of the band concert committee of
the Park Commission, said today
that the director of the band, Pro-
fessor Ella Satruano informed him
that it was necessary to have the
rest in order for the musicians to
play properly.
Last night was the first time that
many out of town persons have been
present at the concerts. The streets
in the neighborhood of the school
were filled with automobiles and
other conVeyances, which had
brought persons from nearby NUM-
cipalities and outlying farms. That
the concerts are increasing in pop
ularity is shown by the increased at
tendance at each concert. About
double the number of persons at
tended the concert last night that
were present at the first concert in
the City Hall Park three weeks ago.
The band played under ideal con-
ditions, the platform being protected
from the crowd by policeman and
the lights strung under the direction
of City Electrician Jay 3, FRANKIE,
giving the musicians the finest kind
of illumination. The police protec-
ton last night was excellent. Act
ing Sergeant James Egan being in
charge of the men assigned to keep
order and direct traffic.
The concert next Wednesday night
will be held at Bay View Park,
music being furnished by the Perth
Amboy Concert Band, consisting of
twenty-five pieces. The platform will
be erected in the park and lights
strung to allow the band to play
under the most favorable conditions
possible. This organization furnish
ed the music at the first concert.
but the lights We're not strung and
there was no platform for the musi-
clans the band played at great dis
advantage.
On Saturday the program for the
coming concert will be published in
the Evening News, so that everyone
may have an opportunity to request
changes If it fails to meet with ap-
proval. Samuel D'Angelo, manager
of the band, is in New York City
today obtaining a supply of the la
test music for the occasion. The
program, it is said, will be along
popular lines. Bay View Park is sit
uated along the waterfront at the
