Upon this com mittee devolves the duty
of planning and largely executing the
grand trades procession, one of the most
important features of the occasion, if it
shall at all fairly represent the industries
of st. Paul. This can only be achieved
through the active and hearty corporations
of our citizens generally and the greatest
energy on the part of the committee.
meeting of the committee is called at the
city hall at 10 m. to-day, to map out a
general plan of operations, and it is ex-
pected that not only will every member of
the committee be present, but that such
other citizens as can will favor the COM
mittee with their presence, and assist in
perfecting such arrangements as will make
this feature of the reception in every way
creditable to the city.

a resident of the city or guest of the city

the citizens will individually assist in Civ
ing the city a gala-day appearance, by
properly decorating their places of bust
ness and residences.
A meeting of the general committee
will be held in the city hall at $50 a. m.
Wednesday. at which it is expected there
will be full attendance.
Carl Gutherz, Esq, the we'll known St.
Louis artist, who is visiting his brother
in-law, Gen. NJ. D. Flower, has made a
beautiful design for the title page of the
invitations to be sent out. It presents a
view of the city, the bridge over the river,
the railroads, etc., and is in every respect
unique.
