Major General sAsproRp said that he had not been able
TO attend the former meetings owing TO being absent
from the city He yesterday received an invitation and
attended the committee, and was most desirous 20 see
entire He however, felt that
there would not be sufficient time between this and saur
day to make arrangements for such demonstra-

the celebration Saturday Ho said that from the letter
Of General Grant understood that General eher-

would take greatly from tho magnitude Of the display
that would be made II II q different day.
