more Jubilee acknowledgements.
From the hearty and systematic way in
which the organization for that purpose is
working the Tennessee Press association
members will consider.their annual meet
Ing in Memphis the event OF their lives.
While most Of those 10 whom the task OF
arranging matters is intrusted are pressed
Tor time on account Of arduous daily duties,
nothing is being omitted that will in the
slightest degree add to the general enter
lainment OF the visiting journalists in
April next. Another meeting was
held at the Peabody hotel yesterday
afternoon, at which reports Of committees
and other preliminary business was trans
acted. Among other things, the program
OF entertainments tor the three days was
approved, and it leaves little spare time
for the delegates TO take in the city," at
their own sweet will. As matter OF fact,
they are not supposed to desire any such
privilege, hence the arrangement will not
cause disappointment OF provoking kind.
THE GILMORE JUBILEE FESTIVAL
The announcement that the great Gil
more, with his celebrated band OF seventy
five musical artists, would more than likely
appear in five concerts i'm this city in May
next, caused thrill OF genuine pleasure
among the inhabitants. Mr.. Emile Levy,
the enterprising gentlemen TO whom Men,
phians and vicinity inhabitants will be in
debted for the unexcelled treat, was warm
ly congratulated aud encouraged yestcr-
day. TIE ApPEALL suggestion that bust
ness men, who will DO more direct
ly benefited by the visiting strangers, lend
q helping hand, was cordially received,
and Mr.. Levy will experience little diff
Guilty in raising satisfactory subscriptions
rs guarantee fund. In histhe liberal con-
tribu,ors will run no dangerous risks, rs
nothing short of Providential interference
can render the enterprise Improbable
Popular prices, with accommodations for
10000 people at each performance, will
carry II through triumphantly, and instead
be beautiful credit. IL has been heard
OF in Memphis, that people listened
o. q most excellent musical program from
the outside OF the hall, but this will be
guarded against in the approaching events.
But circumstances will then be different,
and no one having 80 cents in the world,
aud desire TO enjoy the entertainment at
all, will repeat that performance. Come
up, gentlemen, and prove 10 your neigh.
bors that Memphis can eclipse them all
in enterprise and appreciation.
