Activity is the order Of things among the
subcommittees on the approaching Pythian
encampment Those meetings which were
held yesterday were well attended and en-
thusiastic.
The subcommittee on the reception Of the
Supreme Lodge was called to order at the
Warder building in the afternoon by Chair
man Richard Goodhart, with Committee
men Mcleod, Kline, Foxwel and johnson
present. Chairman Goodhart explained the
position of the subcommittee to the citizens
executive committee with relation to badges
They would. he said, be supplied to members
Of the committee substantially at cost.
The estimate Of the subcommittee which
had been set down as $3.50 had been allow
ed. Mr.. Mcleod reported that he had In
terviewed the proper authorities of the
revenue marine service on the subject of
hags. and they had promised TO lend him
all they had on hand, with the exception,
OF course, Of those which had not been
used. All present thought that this num-
Der would be large enough to embellish
Convention Hall, and the members congrat-
ulated themselves on the saving which they
had made. Although the citizens executive
committee at its last meeting concluded to
use the Fourth Artillery Band at the re-
ception, because in this way an expenditure
OF $25O would be saved, the subcommittee
on reception Is perfecting plans for the en-
gagement Of the Marine Band. This can be
done. they say. by shifting the Fourth Ar
tillery Band to Illinois regiment of
knights of Pythias, which has asked that
a band be secured for them. Mr.. Mcleod
submitted to the committee his march
which ne has dedicated to the Supreme
Lodge. An effort will be made to have the
Marine Band play II. should that crganiza-
ton be engaged, at the reception to be held
at Convention Hall
