sETHE DAY WE CELEBRATE., >,
Preparations for a Fourth OF July
Display.


At the Council Chamber last night, a
meeting Of citizens was held for the pur.
pose of adopting measures looking to the
celebration of the Fourth OF July in co.
operation with the Centinentals and
other military organizations. Gen. Hal.
Young was placed in the chair, with
Major P. B. Way and Captain H. G
Koogle as Secretaries. General Young,
as President Of the Committee on Per-
manent Organization, submitted the fol-
lowing, which was adopted:
GENTLEMEN-Having been appointed
by your subcommittee to the position
of President on Committee on Perma-
nent Organization, it becomes my duty
to appoint suG-committees. In doing
so would suggest hearty co-opera.
ton OF the members Of the different
committees, and the citizens in general.
that we may have Fourth OF July"
celebration that will usner in the second
century Of our National Independence
with credit TO this and pride to genera
tions to come. Before announcing the
committees, would beg to suggest that
the celebration should consist OF ring
ing Of bells, firing OF cannon and parade,
under the auspices or the Committee on
Organization, oratlon and reading of the
Declaration of Independence, &C., with
fireworks at night, under control OF the
proper committees.
In this connection l would advise, for
the benefit Of our city Gas we'll as the
Finance COmmlttee) tnat the proper
authorities be requested to strictly en-
force the law in regard to the burning OF
tire-crackers. l believe If such course
is pursued, many OF our insurance COM
panies and manufacturers would freely
contribute money, thereby giving US the
aid SO much needed in getting up sue
cessiul demonstration.
AS the time is limited b3tween now
and the Fourth, it will require prompt
and energetic action to complete all ar
rahgements, and l therefore trust that
every citizen l have appointed will act
with zeal, aid with his heart in the
cause, as Fave selected those who, as
near as my memory serves me. are not
only well qualified, but are public-3pir-
tied cit zens, VINO glory in seeing Gin
cinnati do "big Things" In this con-
nection, if l have failed to appoint some
who are as equal 10 the task as those
mentioned, nope they will appoint
themselves Cor report to me and l will
appoint them }, and act i'll unison with
US.
In the first place, l appoint the Trus.
tees OF each Ward, for Ward ganjza.
tions, to report to the Chairman Of the
Committee OH Organization.
