street Nothing was decided upon, and the
agent returned to New York where he will con-
suit his principals. Mr. Britton desires 10 keep
the expenditures for the fireworks and the dis
play on the Avenue within $4,000. The various
nambeau clubs have been invited 10 enter q
competition contest for prizes. which will ag-
gregate about q, 500. These prizes are offered

THE LINE OF MARCH.

is probable that instead of following K street il

possible to dispose Of the various bodies by
