tonight to give them the powers Of regular

over. The Chairman Of the committee on
finances reported very satisfactory progress.
The committee thought about $500 more
than has yet been subscribed should be oh.
tained II possible. Answers to the commune
cations sent to the general managers of
the P. O. 4 st. l.. and the O. @. @. h I. were
read. Both potentates would be delighted to
subscribe. to SO worthy cause, but the con.
dition.of the earnings Of the roads for the last
year rendered the s,rictest economy desirable
They thought that the reduced rates, which
would be expected of the railroads was all
that they could do. Gen. Keifer reported
that the committee on invitations had done

ported for committee on furniture and decora-
hons. lie had Visited Cincinnati and Dayton
last week looking for chairs. Clinker L Co. Of
Cincinnati. could get out 400 dozen In the
white, before June 8, which they would rent
at the rate of 81 per dozen. They would
put the chairs on the cars and receive them
again, We to pay freight and all damages to the
chairs. The chairs can be bought outright
tor "a per dozen. The factory at Dayton
can do nothing for US as they have orders
several weeks ahead. He found 1876 dozen
at the skating rink, which could be rented |
for $50, we to pay all expenses, for handling |
them, at both Dayton and Springfield. To
rent chairs, and brinp them from Cincinn natl |
and return them, will cost nearly 81, per
dozen. The question was discussed as to
whether IL would not be cheaper TO
buy the chairs at $4, and after tho
was over. sell at reduced price.
Il was finally decided to rent the chairs from
The Dayton skating rink and 100 dozen more
"a Cincinnati. This will fill the auditorium.
le was thought that enough to ill the stage,
lone 500 probably, can be procured from the
'hurcbes and societies OF Springfield. An ef-
ort will be made to get the chairs here BY
June ls'. In regard TO decorations, Mr..
lilies stated that he hal been communicating
