| Although yesterday was one Of the busiest day1
| in Centennial Celebration affairs the commit&ss-
men who passed in and out Of the headquarters IN
the Stewart Building during the day all had time
to stop and say somethins 70 each other about
Ward McAllisters presentation of his side Of the
| Entertainment Committee controversy, which wae
published exclusively by The Tribune yesterday;
and was accompanied by letters written by various
chairmen to Mr.. McAlhster in support of his
position.
| Members Of the committee who were
asked to comment on the statement declined 70 do
so, on the ground that to reply TO it effectively
would require due reflection, but Chairman
Stuyvesant Fish authorized denial Of Mr. Mo-
Allister's claim that he (Mr. McAllister) had NOT
had notice Of the recent meeting Of tho Entsr~
tai,ment Committee held at the Office Of tho
| Illinois Central Railroad, Of which Mr.. Fish -
| president. A notice that such meeting would ne
held, Mr.. Fish declares, was mailed to Mr. Mo-
| Allister, and should have reached him in ample
| time.

and adopted the official programme OF the entire
| celebration, which has been in preparation Tor
several weeks This programme was approved
