COMING MEXICAN EDITORS.

Steps Taken Regarding Receiving Them-Meeting of the Chamber o1 Commerce Last Even1ng-A Citizens: | Committed.
 At meeting of the Chamber of Commerce | held last evening, at which ex-Mayor Lewis I presided, eight members were present. The | meeting was held for the purpose of forming l some plans for the entertainment of the Mex, i, an editors when they visit this city during | their tour of the principal cities of the Uni | ted States. The first business was the cleo, tion of R. P. Cowles as secretary of the meeting.
 A. H. Kel1am moved that committee oi I three be appointed to select committee to make out programme for the entertainment of the editors while in this city and to take the matter generally in charge. Hon. N. D. Sperry said the visit of these editors would be of great value to the city as whole, and appointing this committee of three means the raising of funds which would probably be out of the pockets of about twenty-five men. Now this is 8 city matter it seems to mo, and 1 think the city should interest itself in this matter and make @ small appropriation for the purpose of en- tertaining these editors on their visit here. While we, the Chamber of Commerce, are in terested in this matter, the city should be likewise interested in the matter. And now if this committee is to wait upon the Com mon Council to ask for small appropriation, I think it would be good plan.
 H. G. Lewis-I think the visit of these Mexican editors interests the city as whole and the other cities showing them great courtesy and I think we ought to do the same.
 H. P Hubbard-When heard these ed itors were coming here invited them and they accepted. They need special train, for their time is limited, and when I asked the railroad company to provide one they refused. but upon my waiting upon the pres ident of the road he said he would grant a request from the Chamber of Commerce to that effect. As these editors will probably come in the morning and go back at night their time will be limited and they will only have time to have dinner and drive to some of the factories in the city.
 N. D. Sperry, R. P. Cowles and A. H. Kill lam were appointed the committee of three co appoint committee to take the matter of entertaining the editors in hand.
 After the committee had conferred together a few minutes they reported the following committee, which was accepted with power given the committee of three to add to the committee entertainment if they see fit. The committee consists of the following gen

 Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce would consider it an equal favor to the man ufacturers and business men of New Haven if the New Haven Steamboat company would tender transportation either way, should the party desire it, to the Mexican editors now travelling in this country.
 Resolved, That the Mayor appoint a com mittee from the Common Council to coop crate with the entertainment committee in this matter, and both committees to hold meeting at room 13 City Hall Friday even ing, July 8.
