At the special meeting of the Plan and Scope Com.
miee Of the Centennial Celebration yesterday Colonel
| Cruger, Of the Army Committee made known the
fact that about 1900 Of the National Guard of Penn
syfpsnia would be here for the military parade AS
| the committee offered year ago to pay the ex
lenses of such conngents would attend the celebra
ton from other States, THIS large body Of men is
coming with that offer IN view, and because OF this
| and other unforeseen expenses which have grown
up with the wonderful growth Of the plans for the
celebration, the COMMITTEES has found It necessary 30
increase the price Of seats the uptown stands to
| g. and SO. The latter price win be charged only
on tho stands at Madison Square and Worth Monument
For the large stand in City Hall Park, which is IN
tended to seat about people, tho prce OF seats
Is finally fixed at rs cents. The proposal made In the
| Legislature on Thursday by Mr. Duffy, of New-York.
to appropriate 1000 for the erection Of stand for
tho families Of disabled soldiers and sailors was re-
garded with indifference by members OF the committees

II do not know where Mr.. Duffy would put his
stand. Tho aged and ntlrm and everybody else Will
| be welcome on the stands to be erected by u.s."
