Plenty of seats were available at the park but citizens apparently dld nat care ti' It out that evenlng. A nuinber of% autos wlth occupants also, lined the streets adjolnlng the park. While It is expected tliat this wlll be the last open air concert of the season it la sicerely hoped that the band wlU make several public appearances in the Opera House iurig the witer months.
