delegates and others at Music hall at 2 p.
m, on Wednesday, and after the banquet
the delegates will be taken to see the various
points of interest about the city.
At 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, the
Father Mathew, Crusaders and Cadet sOci-
cites of the city will assemble in full dress

These various societies will be accompanied

make it grand success, as all the citi-
zens are hand in hand with them in making
