commence at o'clock and last two hours.
They had collected not quite 500, and
wanted what the Executive Committee
could afford to give them.

noon parade at all, as it would interfere
with the exercises at the pavilion.

stated that they proposed to have parade,
whether or not they received any aid from

assign them a position in the morning
parade.

gestion was, however, voted down.
