Meeting of the General Committee
Programme Of the Event--An In-
teresting Time in Prospect.
Let All Prepare to Join in the Demonstration
and Render il Notable and Worthy of
the Great Victory.

meeting was held, and IL was clear last even
ing that there was a general desire
to celebrate, and the only question
left to consider was, as Mr..
Ringwald expressed it, ''to see how hard. we
car do it," There was but one opinion on
the subject last night, and the expression of
that opinion was heard on all sides. Regrets
were expressed that the work of preparing
had not been commenced earlier. II was
evidently the determination that, uotwith-
standing, the time was not sufficient to do
the subject justice, that they would all 90 to
work in earnest, crowd on all steam, and
make a good display.

Col Allen stated that as the committee
had performed the duties assigned to it, and
us the report made by it, covering the whole
ground, had been adopted, there was nothing
more for it to do, be supposed that it would
be discharged. The meeting did not agree

the subcommittee. 1t was found that this
matter Of celebrating would require good
deal more work than was at first antici-
pated and the more the matter was talked
over the more apparent it became that the
general committee ought TO have help. It
