 The general committee of arrangements for Founders day held a meeting last night. Most of the arrangements for the days exercises had already been disposed of, and at the meeting last night few minor details were perfected. Ex-Mayor Lewis made motion that notice be sent to the public generally that on that day they make it as much of holiday as possible, and that all citizens display the national flag at all points possible. MT. Fred Waldron moved that the board of aldermen and common council be requested to review the process sion on that day. This was amended by Major Barnes stthat the Governor and his staff and the Mayor and city government re- voted to particularly invite the Hopkins Grammar school. The secretary was ordered to issue special invitation to that institu- tion. The following communication was read:
 At meeting of the students of Yale university, called for the purpose of consid- ing the proposition made by the citizens committee that they take part in the com- memorative exercises upon Founders day. it was voted to express to the committee their appreciation of the invitation and their re- gret that, although they feel the deepest in- terest in the celebration of an historical event in which both the city and the uni versity have so much in common, yet, for reasons connected with the difficulty of or ganization and conflicting engagements of many of their members, it seems impractica- ble for them to take part in the procession.
