Annual Report 
which condition was cheerfully met, resulting in thirty-seven 
evening concerts being given in the down-town parks. 
In addition, due to community interest, six concerts were 
provided lor by public subscription and played at Owls' Nest 
Park. The Hyde Park Business Men's Club also stood sponsor 
for a series of Saturday night concerts, which were given on the 
plaza at Erie Avenue and Edwards Road. Commissioner Wm. 
Gilbert provided the funds for a band concert on occasion of 
Spring Arbor Day exercises at Eincoln Park. 
The value of popular concerts for the masses can not be over- 
estimated, and it only requires a visit to any of the down-town 
parks on occasion of a band concert to convince the most pessi- 
mistic of their great value. 
Respectfully submitted, 
M. C. EONGENECKER, 
Secretary.
