such As Masons. Odd Fellows, Turner's
Sons Of Temperance, Good Templars, etc.
are invited to take part in the denonstra
ton, in their appropriate uniforms and re
galias, with their usual banners and music
1t will not be unlikely that body of mill
tary in arms, will be one Of the attraction
Of the day. 1t Is unfortunate that our gal
liant firemen were not engaged for the oc
casion, instead Of allowing other cities to &c
ahead Of US. At . meeting Of the commit
tees last night, at the house Of Dr.. Steven
son, it was unanimously decided that tn
first table at the Dinner should be for th
soldiers Of the camps, city and county, an
that the aert table should be for risitos
from tAs country, and for citizens who ma
have contributed. We think no one vii
find cause to murmur against such arrange
ment. We understand that eight hundre
dollars has thus far been raised for the din
ner. The great horse race will be . Gel
tainty.
