A distinctive feature of the great gath
ering will be its resemblance, as far as
hotel arrangements are concerned, to
national political convention. Each state
delegation has been assigned to a leading
hotel, as near the garden as possible, and
on July the reception committee at the
head of which is Charles Caldwell. will de-
tail committees to every depot in the city
and in Jersey, and members of these will
act as escort to those arriving. Four hun
dred Young New Workers and Brooklyn
ties have placed their services at the dis
posal of the general committee and are
arranging for fitting welcomes.
Eyes" said Chairman Caldwell a few
days since, "we are in position to handle
thirty thousand guests. and there will I'M

members of New York and Brooklyn.

hotels they will register in the associa-
tons books and be presented with badges.
That will end our part of the great work"
