ABOUT MEMORIAL-DAY.
The Matter of POstponing the
Celebration Referred.

The Ladies' Hollywood Memorial AS
sociation held meeting at noon yester-
dav in the lecture-room of DR.. Hoge's 8
church. 1t was called for the purpose
of considering request from the Jeifer-
son Davis Monument Association asking
that the ladies observe May 3lst-the
day on which President Davis's remains
are to be reinterred-as Memorial-Dsy
instead of the 30th as usual.
The matter was referred to commit
tee consisting of Mrs. Colston, Mrs. j.
Taylor Ellyson, and Mrs. Daniel, who
will confer with the secretary OF the
Davis Monument Association.
1t was suggested by the ladies that in
asnuch rs President Dayis's birthday
June 3d-falls only three day later than
that chosen, the latter would have
been an especially appropriate time.
This date has already been selected by
the Ladies' Literary Society for their
celebration.

change Memorial Day in consequence of
the unveiling of the Hill statue, but they
declined to do so, saying it was their un-
alterable determination to observe May

many courtesies and the generous hos
pitality extended to them by the distin-
guished Governor of the State OF Vir--
ginia and the Mayor, the Chamber OF
Commerce, and other representative
bodies OF the city OF Richmond, the
Westmoreland Club. the ladies OF the
Memorial Bazaar, tho press, and the
ladies and gentlemen generally OF tho
city and State.
Reso,red, That these courtesies and
this hospitality are but another evidence
OF the worldwide and well-deserved
fame of Virginians fo- their superiority
In these respects.
Resolucd, also, That the thanks OF
the convention be returned to the chair
man, secretary, and sergesnt-at-arms Tor
the able and most acceptable manner IN
which they have discharged their re-
spective duties.
On motion of Governor Brown the
convention then adjourned sine die.
Behind the Scenes.
1t Is understood that Governor Fish
backs paper. intended to be sent to
President Cleveland, met with such gen.
eral opposition in the Committee on
Resolutions that it was withdrawn. The
subject Of making the convention per-
manent organization and holding an
other meeting next year was discussed
in the committee. but voted down.
The subcommittee who prepared the
address OF the convention consisted of
Governor Stone, OF Missouri Governor
Foster, OF Louisiana, and Mr.. Armistead,
Of Tennessee.
A rather unique feature OF the con-
vention was the lack of speech-making.
Taking out the address of welcome by
Governor Mckinney and tho response of
Governor Fishback, there was not sim
gle speech made OF five minu tes' dura-
tion. Governor McKinney's suggestion
that il should be a working rather than
talking body was certainly followed
closely. All OF the discussion was in
the Committee on Resolutions, and that
was entirely harmonious.
Most Of the visitors will leave the city
to-day. Some go to their homes and
others to places nearby.
