 At the Founders' day celebration com mittees meeting last evening Major Barnes, the chief marshal, reported the length of the route of procession for the day to be 21S miles.
 Secretary Easterbroek read letter, received by Town Agent Reynolds, from Fl. P. Hub bard enclosing $2.S .S2, the balance left over from the funds tor entertaining the Mexican visitors here some time ago. MT. Hubbard also asked that the flags be displayed from East Rock park on Founders' day. i Chairman Reynolds introduced two Dakota Indians, Dr. John Jonah and his wife Lillian I Jonah. Mrs. Jonah explained in broken English that she and her husband had taken part in Albany's 200th anniversary celebra- l tion, and they thought that on New Haven's | Founders day celebration tbe Indians should ! be represented in line. She and her husband could ride in a carriage or on horseback; and if in carriage she could have her little ! deer with her. All they wanted was $S ! apiece for the day.
 l On motion of Hon. N. D. Sperry it was | voted to appropriate $5 to pay MT. and Mrs. 1 Jonah, and to also provide carriage for | Mrs. Jonah and @ horse for her husband. Commander Brown, of the G. A. R., re- marked that he hoped the general committee would vote to invite Hon. N. D. Sperry, one of the veteran chiefs of the New Haven Im- proved Order of Red Men, to ride in the same carriage with Mrs. Jonah. This would show the difference between the aborigines and the improved order. Thomas R. Trowbridge reported that all | the ministers invited would take part. He asked for $50 appropriation (which was granted) for the expenses of his committee. Chief Marshal Barnes thought the church exercises should begin later than p. m. and 1 that the Second regiment was willing to give dress parade on the Green before it was dis missed. He said Gin answer to ex-Mayor Lewis) that he could start the procession at 10:30 as it was mostly local affair. Henry Peck reminded that the Lowell ex- ercises opened at 3:30. General Bradley moved that the hour for starting the parade be 10:30 and that the church exercises begin at 2. The motion prevailed.
 It was reported that the Governor and his | staff had decided to appear on horseback. Ex-Mayor Lewis wanted @ general invita- | ton extended to all descendants of Daven- ! port, Eaton, Goodyear and Gilbert, and that | seats be reserved for them at the church. Professor Henry W. Farnam said that he had counted up 1S2 families in this city who 1 were direct descendants of the first band of families who came here. | Fred Waldron wanted them to send their names to the committee. l The question as to whether any seats at \ the church should be reserved or not was ! discussed. Thomas R. Trowbridge thought I the doors should be thrown open and every body go in who took enough interest in the occasion.
 Hon. N. D. sperry objected to it. He | said that some of the seats should be re- served, for if they were not no one in the procession could gain entrance to the church. The general committee, the invited guests and the Lancasterian boys would be crowded out.
 It was voted to reserve 8 part of the church, the numbers of pews being left to \ the discretion of the committee on public ex- ercises.
 On motion of ex-Mayor Lewis it was voted l to have some person at headquarters from | now until the 25th to attend to the business | of the committee.
 Horace Day of the school committee asked for an additional appropriation of $50 for the I historical leaAet. It was granted and $500 ! was also appropriated for the historical pam phle..
 Chairman Reynolds in response to Secre- \ tary Day said that ex-Senater Plunkett of the | board of education had informed him that the board would provide canes for the school children.
 Two Swedish societies have signifed their intention of parading. They are the Bethesda Benevolent and the Viking associations. The societies will furnish their own band, which | will be from Massachusetts.
 Professor Henry W. Farnam reported that the Scientific department had voted to take part in the parade: but the academic depart ment had decided not to. The students of the latter department voted to thank the general committee for the invita- ton, but it was thought best not to accept as but few students would turn out, there being many college athletic events on that day.
 On motion of Hon. N. D. Sperry it was voted to make an appropriation of $50 for the expenses of Secretary Easterbrook. He also moved that $50 be appropriated for the erection of platform at the church, which | was granted.
 Fred. Waldron, chairman of the committee on carriages, asked for $200 It was appro- priated.
 General Bradley, of the committee of mil itary and fire department, reported that all the companies to which invitations had been sent had accepted except the Emerald Guard and the German Rifle company. He had re- ceived @ letter from the Horse Guards, but did not know whether it was an acceptance of the invitation or not. The company \ wanted e band.
 General Merwin said that all the money for music had been paid out. He could hire all ! the bands in the county if he had the money
 Commander Brown said that if a band was furnished to any organization it would start ball rolling which the committee could not stop.
 The committee seemed to think so.
 The meeting was at 10 p. m. adjourned until Friday evening.
