 Mir. Burton Mansfield, of the committee on invitations, reported that invitations had L ,roSIS fzo- tions and civic societies of the city to join in the parade and to send representatives to the meetings of the general committee. Several letters were read from gentlemen who had
 received those letters of invitation. MT. Luther E.

 Several courts of Foresters reported through representatives that they would hold meetings soon to take action upon the pa-
 rade. The New Haven Yacht club will turn | out a strong delegation.
 In6 COumlGG60 WISH uuAOI5GOOA LAoS every civic society in the city is invited to send delegate to meet with the general committee. If any society has been omitted, it is through oversight. John G. North, of the veteran Horse Guard, reported that his organization would do all in their power to help the enterprise Mir. John 0. Gallagher said that the vari- ous committees should organize at once and do their work. He moved that when the committee adjourns it adjourn to next Tues
 day evening and that the sub-committ ees make reports.
 MT. Earle said that proposition had been l received from Mir. Aldridge, of Brooklyn
 for decorating the city to any extent requir- ed.
 Ex-AIderman Shoninger said the chairman of each subcommittee should call his com mittee together at once and get to work. The committee desire that every civic
 society and military organization report at the meeting next Tuesday evening as to
 whether or not they will take part in the eel
 ebration.
 It was suggested that the Salvation army desired to parade, but as no representative of that military organization was present to re-
 port, the reliability of the suggestion could not be ascertained.
