OOkS COMING VISAIORSs Further Arrangemenss Made Last
 Night at she City Hall for she Ae-
 csptl0A Of the south American Visi-
 tors Suggestions as 10 How She Limited Time ofthe Visit may be Hest Improved.
 The committee of citizens appointed by His Honor, Mayor Peck, to entertain the South American visitors who are expected here on Thursday, October 10, met in the aldermanic chamber last night to formulate plans for the reception. Mayor Peck occu- pied the chair, and T. Atwater Barnes was chosen secretary. The committee was in- dependent of the committee appointed by the chamber of commerce.
 Mayor Peck explained the visit of these delegates which was to see all the leading manufacturing cities and in order to form more intimate trade relations between South America and the States, and also more direct communication. For this purpose 8 | delegation of ffty-six representatives of | South America will leave Washington on October 8, and $75, 900 has been provided for their tour.
 Iu answer to a question from N. D. Sperry ! as to what his plans were, Mayor Peck said that he thought sub-committees should be appointed.
 A. Fl. Kellsm moved that a committee of | five be appointed by the mayor to prepare sub-committees and it was carried. Mayor Peck made the following appointments: B. R. English, John R. Leeds, Amos P. Wilder, ex-Mayor Holcomb and A. H. Kellam. A. Fl. Kellam's idea of the entertainment of the visitors was that they should be divid- ed up, going in separate directions. In that way they could visit all the manufacturing | concerns and afterward could compare notes, thus seeing everything.
 N. D. Sperry was glad that the Chamber l of Commerce had shown an interest in the entertainment of these delegates, but he thought they should begin their banquet as soon as the visitors were through going about the city.
 President Clark of the Consolidated road had word to say. He advocated 8 short programme instead of long one. He thought that the delegates should visit Yale college first, as that was an institation no other city they would visit could show them. He said they were not merchants, nor machinists, ,and would therefore not be likely to appreciate 6 long visit to the different manufacturing to arrive at 9 o'clock he didn't think they would get here until 5 o'clock.
 Ex-Nayor Lewis didn't agree with Presi- dent Clark. ''It won't take twenty minutes longer to go on East Rock Park and show them an elegant view of the city, anl then they can 20 direct to Winchesters factory 70, yes, we do aRree," jocosely remarked President Clark. 'I think nothing will dc them any more good than ride on East Rock Park. We agree for once anyway" he replied, looking smilingly at the ex- mayor.
 Ex-Mayor Lewis thought the delegates would rather visit the manufacturing estab lishments. Many Winchester rifles are used II ts.d xl.lA III want to see how they are made. They would also like undoubtedly to visit the rubber shop, as nineteen-twentieths of the rubber we use comes from South Americas; and they would be pleased to see what facilities we have. The ex.mayor also thought that the manufacturers should get together book ol catalogue, placing after the name of each manufacturer what articles he manufactures
 Gen. E. 8: Greeley didn't quite agree with should be divided up and visit different man ufacturing establishments, and afterward compare notes. This would be the same ai if all visited the manufacturing places. He thought four of the largest concerns in the city could be seen. He also suggested that ( committee be appointed to meet the delegates in Meriden, so as to hurry them up and moi prolong their visit their.
 In regard to ex-Mayor Lewis suggestion Col. Fox didn't think the sending of cata- logues would meet the requirements. Ht said this was a splendid chance for tho Chamber of Commerce to do some good tc the city of New Haven by issuing cata logue of all that New Haven produces, but tc be printed in the language that the Soutt Americans could read.
 President Clark, in speaking again, TO ferred to the Register as the formation oi all that is good" which made those present smile broadly.
 N. Esterbrook thought that 1t was bette, to visit the manufacturing places first, as Yale college could be seen at gaslight. The special committee appointed by the Mayor reported that it was decided to ap point committee on reception and com mittee on carriages.
 There was some discussion as to the duty of the committees, and 1t was finally settled that the delegates should be cared for from the time they arrive until they are delivered over to the Chamber of Commerce.. Nr. Clark moved that it is the sense of this meeting that the delegates be met at the Ce. dar Hill junction and from there conveyed through East Rock Park, and from there to the colleges, and from there to wheresoever it | was thought best at the discretion of the committee. Colonel Bradley suggested that the Cedar Hill part had better be left out, as 1t might be moro convenient to meet them nearer Winchesters.
