THE GLORIOUS

The special committee of the board of
trade and the chairmen OF the various
committees of the Cycle club met Friday
night at the Office of the Knight Invest
ment company OF the board of trade
committee there were present: r. c. Stew
art, jr., chairman: Hon. George W. Glenn
ent, w. J. Wilson ana n. c. knight. OF
the wheelmen there were: Thomas Shaw,
Joe Henley, H. H. Millard and l.. j. Whit
tier. Mr.. Stewart presided, and Mr..
knight was elected secretary. A large
amount of work was mapped out, and
good start was made.
1t was informally decided on the part Of
the wheelmen present that they would
take out charter and organize a stock
company, aud then good business methods
would characterize all their acts. The
officers of this proposed corporation Will
act under the advisement OF the commit
tee of the board of trade, and it is be-
lieved that in this way the best results
and the greatest satisfaction of the citi-
zens will be obtained.
Mr. c. H. Mead has been employed to
solicit pledges of money, and it is hoped
and. in fact, il is necessary-thaG a liberal
subscription be made by every enterpris-
ing citizen.
Mr.. n. G. Knight has been appointed the
treasurer of all money to lie raised for the
joint parade and bicycle tournament, and
the subscribers are urged to pay the money
to him by check or at his office, 200 North
Main street, promptly on June l, that
there may be ready cash in the treasury
for immediate use.
A motion was carried to the effect that
not less than three bands be employed in
the parade--but it is highly desirable that
this number be increased; the more funds,
the more music, and the larger the outlay
for advertising-thus assuring a larger
crowd.
1t was decided that the parade should
start at 10 o'clock on the morning of the
4th of July.
The city council was invited to partici-
pate in the parade-to have the city rep
resented i'll an appropriate manner-to
permit the fire department and all the city
departments to be in the line of march
and to decorate the city hall.
Invitations will be issued to- all organ
lied bodies to be in line; secret societies,
etc, and unanimous acceptance by them
is anticipated.
The business men are asked to decorate
their stores and offices. Decorations will
be very general.
The gentlemen present were enthusiast
tic over the prospect for grand and
glorious Fourth" They are all at work
in one way or another, and nothing will be
left undone to make the parade a grand
success.
Several strong attractions for the Fourth
were spoken of and taken IN hand. When
they are secured they will be announced
to the public The management does not
wish to mislead the people, and anything
billed will surely come off, barring acct
dents
