on November 10th. So says the the
United States Centennial Commission IN

Whereas, Several communications
verbal as well as written, have been
presented to commissioners asking for
information as to whether or not the
time for closing the Exhibition should
not be extended beyond the 10th day of
November, therefore be it
Resolved, That, in accordance with
our previous action, we hereby declare
that the Centennial Exhibition shall be
closed on the 10th day of November

commence on the goth inst, and it is
said the display will be attractive in
every respect.

Both parties had the victory last
night. SO the clubs of both parties
turned out and paraded the streets with
bands of music and plenty of tolches.
As nothing really definite was known
by either of the clubs at the time il

had marched the streets and displayed
a transparency with the following de-
vice Don't count your chickens un-
til they are hatched."
Another grand display OF fireworks
will be made at the Centennial on the
evening of the 10Th inst.
