MI Il. +. Bohny, chairman Of the COM
mltlee on procession aud picnic, recon-.
tlehuea that the business houses and vari-
GUS industries be inv ted TO take part in the
procession with decorated wagons. each ono
recommending his guild. The proposition
from the first met with favorable considera
tlon, with perhaps one gentleman opposed
VINO gave his reasons for his opposition
The suggestion, however, prevailed and
the gentleman opposing himself entered
heartily into the scheme, and he, with
President Jules Schneider, will canvass the
city to-day, soliciting every business man,
no matter what his line or character of
industry may be, to enter heartily into the
enterprise.
II is known that Messrs. Schneider &
Davis will take part with an elegant display
Of their business; Me.srs. Sanger Bros. viii
also take part splendidly; Me.srs. Mitchell
Scrugss will not have less than
seven floats; Mr.. Louis Reichenstein
for the AnheuserBusch Brewing company
Will be out in full force, and in fact there is
no doubt that nearly every branch of bust
! ness will be represented in the pro ce.sion.
The HERALD, no doubt, will have Its
handsomely decorated car, representing the
| power and usefulness of the press, and
| especially the beauties and glorie, OF a
strike. 1t has been suggested that the law
yers might combine and have = splendid
| car illustrating justice in the early DAYS
when horse-thieyes and murderers We're
| hung with short shritt and tight rope to
apost or oak limb, and lstter-dsy Justice,
when thief OF Slo pony went sure pop to
the penitentiary for ten years, while the
dtabolical, malicious, cold.blouded muir.
derer 10 too often turned loose by iury
that SMILES, judge that weeps, and a bar
that look solemn and makes believe TO wine
their fearful eyes.
| 1t has also been suggested that the ply
scians have car decorated with pills, bills
tiers, jalop, gargles, calomel, etc, and de.
tachment OF the faculty, trying to diagnose
the symptoms of poor unfortunate with a
case OF jm-jams, each Que declaring diff
| ferent complaint tor hm--one that he was
| insane, another that 1t was a clear case of
sCabies, another simply case of spasmodic
action of the diaphragm.
These suggestions were emenations of
| humor on the part of their perpetrators, for
1t seems to be the general desire that the
feasure in question be made part of the pro.
cession.
The general committee has not vet dis
cussed the amount to be offered in prizes
for best decorated wagons, but will fix the
amounts at the meeting Saturday. All
business houses will berequested to close up
part of the day to give all employees an
opportunity of taking part in
the festivities OF the day as well as OF the
| picnic at night
The commers, or banquet, which was to
have come off that night, Thursday the 18th
| inst. will come off on some other night
during the week. 1t has also been sug-
gested that our three military companies,
who will he in the procession, form them
selves into a battalion for the day, with o
commanding officer from among our citi-
zens, not now in any one of the companies,
who can command and handle battalion.
| The gentleman makes this suggestion for
the consideration of the companies because
| he conceives it would add much to the in
terest Of the day to have a dress parade on
the picnic grounds and perhaps few bat
| tallion movements.
