y great measure, one of pleasure. A call
has been issued for a meeting.to be held in

egate from New York, Brooklyn and this
city is requested to be present. AS all
VIII go together the day for the start will

to leave this city on the morning of either
August the 9th or 10th and proceed direct
to Minneapolis. After the adjournment

who can afford it to have a grand time.

convention in this section of the country.

The chances are generally considered good

selected.
