tors who. If they did their best. could hard

10 submit IN reference b the matter.
TRADES PARADE.
Mr. Waddey. In response to this invitation.
said that the executive committee of the 30
ciety had been carefully considering what
special features could best be added to the
Exposition 20 insure its success and that it
was thought 90 have trades parade az
the opening Of the Exposition would best
set the ball ia motion, and that being of
this opinion they desired 20 bring the mat
ter 20 the attention of the Chamber of Com
merce. as the committee felt that that WAS
the proper method 20 interest the business
men OF the city so "a TO have them partici-
pate m such parade; but be said that Mr..
Wood had given more attention 10 the sub
Jet in its details, and he would. therefore,
request him to explain tue views of the So
clety more fully upon the subject.
TO AWARD PREMIUMS.
Mr. Wood stated that the society expected
to make an appropriation out of which 10
award premiums 10 the best float in the pro-
cession and to the next best and to probably
the third best in order TO stimulate the par
ties 20 DO their utmost and 10 compensate
those who went TO most expense in pre-
pairing for the parade. that in 1884 wo had
very successful parade of this character,
ald that there was no reason why we should
not have better one in 1882 by which the
merchants and manufacturers would not
only advertise their goods. but advertise
their progressive spirit and give good send
of TO the Exposition.
Messrs. T. X. Blssell and +. II. Deene

. very interesting feature If a creditable one
could be gotten up for the occasion: bat !

pose Dir. Deane offered the following reso- !
luton. which was unanimously adopted:
