Mr.. Newman moved that the secretary be
instructed 10 send circulars to the cattle
associations throughout the country re-
guessing them 10 advise this committee az
to how many delegates they would send.
This, he thought, was necessary In order 10
ascertain how many delegates there would
be to entertain.
Colonel Hunter said that II would be i'm
possible 10 form any accurate estimate OF
how many persons there would be 20 enter
tain. AS far as was knosn Ia delegates
had been appointed and instructed, but
there would be great many persona be-
sides the delegates.
Mr.. Prsther thought that # the commit.
tee could get 40 idea OF how many would
come, II could "round 'em up" and u %
care Of the others aiterward
Mr.. Newman said that as he understood
II the delegates were TO pay their own hotel
bills aud the ciNzsns were to entertain
them and The visiting cattlemen in various
ways, such a5 theatrical entertainments,
steamboat excursions, carriage rides, ETC.
IL might be well TO have IL thoroughly IN
deratood what was 10 BE- done.
Mr.. p ather suggested that a Grand mu'
sicale given q. the Merchants exchange,
to which the citizsns would pay for aim g.
sion, while the cattle men were admitted
iree There was plenty OF local musical
talent who would undoubtedly volunteer
willingly II properly approached, There
would be no trouble about the hall and
sts am boats

ods Of entertainment, finances, etc., and on
