couilnltleo IL now practically sure oil W, :
900 delegates outside OF Boston aud vi.
entity. OF these fully thrco hundred
will 60 from Wost Virginia.
Boston Is preparing with all It's might
to receive these many thousands Of dele
gatos to what will DO tho largest con-
venlion ever held In the world,
aud tho various delegations hnvo
been given no mean share OF attention
In the way Of having comfortable and
attractive quarters provided for Thorn.
Every hotel In the city will DO taxed
10 the utmost, and In addition thou.
sands OF tho delegates will DO cared for
In the homes OF the members OF somo
$50 churches in Boston and suburbs.
Arrangements are made by the Bos.
ton accommodation committee with
tho various state secretaries whereby it
IL known about how many delegates
would like TO atay nj hotels. SO far AZ
possible, then, hotel quarters arc on.
gagged accordingly. All delegates from
that particular state that cannot DO &C.
commodated at hotels or at some ono
hotel are assigned 10 some certain
church or churches.
The idea 10 TO have headquarters for
each state. For the distant states that
send small delegations one hotel, afford.
Ing accommodation for perhaps 100 or
$50 delegates, 10 sufficient. For tho
larger delegations there arc to DO church
headquarters in addition to the hotels.
All delegates will BIO met at tho trains
by members Of the reception commit.
tee. who can DO distinguished by their
white yachting caps, trimmed with 4
band OF red-red and white being the
'95 convention colors.
Christian Endeavorera never attend
conventions for the sake OF getting free
entertainment while in tho city. The
managers OF q convention will never
allow any one to entertain delegates
free OF charge. Every delegate pays
his board bill, even il he Ia entertained
in the house OF a millionaire. In Clevo.
land last year John D. Rockefeller
opened his magnificent mansion for the
use OF as many delegates as could be &C.
commodated there. but he had to take
pay for their board.
On account OF tho great number OF
delegates that will attend the Boston
convention, 1t has been necessary for
tho committee to engage the largest hall
in tho city. in addition to two immense
tents. to accommodate all who will want
to attend the sessions. The hall will be
that OF Mechanics building, and will
seat 10000 people. Each OF the two
tents on the Common will also seat TO-
900 people. A great many churches in
the city will be used for overflow meet
ings," and in that way it is hoped to
distribute the delegates so that every
one will have m opportunity to enjoy
the convention proceedings.
Aspccial day for patriotic demonstra.
ton has not been attempted in previous
conventions. but at the one in Boston
ono ontiro day will DO gwen to good citi-
zenahip addresses md patriotic demon.
STATIONS generally. The great feature
OF the day will be the march OF the
whole $4,000 or $1,000 delegates from
the hall OF Mechanics building on
Huntington TO the parade ground on
the common, whore they will 10 al
dressed at some length by Gov. Groen.
halgo. where America" aud God Save
tho Queen" will DO sung by chorus OF
1000 voices and as many in the crowd
as can sing, and where the delegates
will be addressed by the Rev. Dr.. S. +.
Smith. author OF America" and many
other woll.known men.
All delegates to tho convention will
receive the special privilege OF visiting
the many historic spots in and around
Boston. There have been several do
lightful boat excursions arranged for
tho delegates to visit tho old town OF
Plymouth in Massachusetts Bay, whore
they can see the precious Plymouth
rock upon which the Pilgrims landed in
1920.
Cambridge, whore Harvard Universe.

other famous men and women.
In Cambridge is tho Washington elm,
under which Washington took com.
mand OF the Continental army in ITS.
Concord Is only twenty miles from
Boston, and excursions have boon
planned there and to Lexington, elk
miles nearer Boston. Excursions will
also be made to quaint old Salon, md
ono day has been given almost entirely
for pilgrima:es to historic spots in Bos-
ton proper.
Every state delegation oil Christian
Endeavor will wear n state badge OF
some pretty design, and in addition to
this there will DO convention badge
provided tho delegates when Lhoy reach
Boston. Every delegate will DO obliged
to wear his convention badge in order
to obtain entrance to tho convention a
