The above is the unofficial programme
decided upon last night at a meeting of
committees at the Chamber OF Com
merce. There will probably be a num-
Der of unimportant changes, but the
events will take place at the time given
above.
The meeting last night was only
fairly we'll attended. The first matter
taken up was the arrangement OF an
official programme for the events OF tae
day. II is intended to print ana dis
tribute 10000 copies in English and
:. 600 copies In German OF the oincla
urogramme, containing also the text OF.
the songs and the Declaration OF lnde-
pendence.
A number of details in connection
with the parade were arranged. Secreta
nv Dlnger re ported that two societies IN
Benwood have sent in favorable replies.
Manager Tracy, of the Western Union'
stated that he was prepared TO iurnlsh
any necessary amount of wire to stretch
along the sidewalks, for the purpose OF
keeping spectators off the streets. Inc
Committee decided to stretch the wire on
both sides of Market and Main, between
Eleventh and Tenth. and also on Main,
from Tenth TO Eleventh. The Mayor
will be asked to issue proclamation re-
ouesting people to keep within the
wires, and the police will be authorized
TO keep the streets clear OF vehicles.
Manager Wolf, Of the c. ID. 81 +. Tele-
phone Company, also agreed to furnish
az many linemen as are required 10
stretch the lines. Mr.. Tracy suggested
that barrels of ice water be placed at
convenient points, and the committee
acted upon the suggestion and Will
have an abundant amount OF cool
drinking water at the places where the
crowds are expected to congregate.
The question Of choosing place for
pyrotechnic display came up, but no
action was taken. This matter will
finally be disposed Of at meeting to be
held on Wednesday night, at which
time it Is expected that all the aides
appointed by Marshal Rolf will also
meet. The fireworks display will be
creditable one. There will be in all
about twenty set pieces, none of them
verv elaborate, but all said to be
very pretty. Mayor Caldwell will be
asked to appoint twenty-five special po-
lice to preserve order at the wharf, or
any other point selected for che spec
tacle.
Chairman Henry Speyer has called a
meeting OF the Committee on Decora-
tion for s o'clock this evening, at the
Chamber OF Commerce.
Last night about twenty wheelmen
met at the corner Of Fourteenth and
Market streets for the purpose OF drill.
ing. Capt. w. T. Sadler took charge OF
the boys and put through a number OF
pretty movements on Fourteenth
street. This feature OF the morning
and evening parades, If carried out, will
prove very interesting. All wheelmen
are invited to participate.
