This Weeks Grand Convention Of the
Y. p. s. c. e.

Preparations are completed for the big
convention Of the Y. P. S. @. E. this week.
City Hall is being prettlly decorated by the
committee. Elegant souvenir programmes
have been printed. which are profusely Illus
rated with descriptions of the city, and Civ
Ing many interesting facts regarding the
Young Peoples movement. 1t Is reported
that 500 delegates are coming from Mas
sachusetts alone. Connecticut will also send
a big party, aud In fact from all the East
ern States there will be large delegations.
Our hotels and boarding houses will be
tested to their utmost capacity. The only
fear Of the committee Is that City Hall Is not
sufficiently large to accommodate the crowds
who desire to attend. We print below the
programme In full;
