Meeting of the Beard of Managers
Another Grand Exposition to be
Held-The World Invited to Attend.
The Board of Managers of the Nashville
Industrial Exposition, by call from the Pre-
sident, met last night in the office of the
Nashville Life Insurance company, Presid-
ent c. r. Parsons in the chair.
The Committee to the Cincinnati Expo
sition owing to business engagements hav-
ing had no meeting, asked for further time
to furnish their report, which was granted.
Mr.. French thought it advisable to have a
special report from each member of the
committee who had been present at the Ex-
position.
A motion to that effect was adopted and
the members so instructed.
There being no further reports the Board
proceeded to
NEW BUSINESS.
The President then stated that he had
been instructed to report the amount due
and unpaid to parties who had subscribed
to the Exposition Fund, and also an alb
stract report of the condition of the treasu-
ry, which, on motion, were adopted.
On motion of Mr.. French, the meeting
proceeded to the election of Vice-Presi-
dent. Messrs. Frank Green, NJ. Kean and
Thomas Parks were nominated, and on
counting the ballot, Mr.. Green was declared
the elected Vice President.
Mr.. Green was informed by one of the
members that it was his duty as a newly
elected officer, to make speech and give a
wine supper.
Mr.. French moved that committee be
appointed to examine the ground and ascer-
tain what ground is accessible to the build
ing, and can be secured for the same.
On suggestion of the President, a special
committee of three was appointed to confer
with the Building Committee in relation to
securing more ground contiguous to the
building, and report upon the same.
On the committee were appointed
Messrs. French, Kean and Stockell.
Capt. Stockell thought the Board should
find out at an early date the amount of
ground that could be secured for building
purposes, and then have a wood cut made
showing the kind and size of The buildings
to be erected in connection with the present
building.
Mr.. Wood concurred in the suggestion of
Capt. Stockell, and said that parties living
at a distance and designing to contribute to
the Exposition first desire to know the
amount OF space we have for the exhibition
of goods, and the person who could give the
information through correspondence.
In anticipation Of an exposition being held
next spring, on much grander scale than
the last, it would be well enough TO call the
attention of mechanics and manufacturers
to this in time to allow them time for neces-
sary preparation, and also to ascertain how
much money could be expended for circu-
lars and advertising.
Mr.. French moved the regular weekly
meetings be held on Friday nights, COM
mencing on the first Friday night in Deem
Der.
The Vice President, Mr.. French, of the
Nashville Life Insurance Company, ten
dered the use of the company's office to the
Board for future meetings. The kind offer
was accepted, and on motion of Mr.. Parks
the appreciative thanks of the Board were
expressed and returned.
The meeting then, on motion of Mr..
French, adjourned until the first Friday
night in December
