ment consisted of a musical meiange of
trios. duets and solos selected from Ger

and other melodies, with specially per-
formances. The singing of Mines. Marie

The meeting in the first ward was held at
the Metropolitan hotel. Judge A. b. East
was chosen to preside and Mr.. NJ. p.
Maroney was selected as secretary,
Messrs. J. W. Griffin, Joseph McGonigle
and L. b. Spoor were elected delegates to
the convention to represent the ward.

the Alert hose house. Judge w. L.
Kuykendall presided and George W.
Jones was secretary. On motion Messrs.
Charles Coffey, NJ. P. Hannifn and L.
r. Bresnahen were selected as delegates,
but were not instructed, and the meeting
adjourned.
The city hall was the scene of a rousing
meeting in the third ward. Mr.. j. l..
Murray was chairman and Mr.. j. A. Mar
tin secretary. For delegates Messrs.
Luke voorhees,, George A. Draper,

mayor.
The conventions will be held this even
ing in the city hall, when both parties
will meet Although the conventions
will be held separately, there is some talk
of a fusion ticket, provided a candidate
acceptable to both parties can be selected.
The rumor is only a rumor, however, and
nothing definite is now known. Indeed
it appears that neither party has fully de-
cided upon a candidate. although a mum
Der OF gentlemen have been mentioned as
possible candidates. Among those spoken
of are Messrs. A. II. Reel, j. W. Sny-

was mentioned yesterday in connection
with the mayoralty declines to permit his
name to go before the Republican conven-

sessions will be held. Some lively street

to-day.

No entries will be received after 10 a. m. on the first day of the fair, and those who delay run the risk of mistakes quite liable to occur if general delay shall cause a rush at the last moment of entry.
