at present and the prices of meals not
increased.

Arrangements for the working men,
bers of the press promise to be very
satisfactory. Each active newspaper
worker will be provided with a badge
and card that will entitle him to
special privileges and courtesies in the
discharge of his duties. Such arrange
ment is necessary as on account of the
crowds it would be impossible for the
reporters and others in search of in
formation to do rapid work. Similar
distinction will be made in the ar
rangement Of accommodations for the
newspaper folks in the reviewing

sold and the committee has ordered a
second edition of the same number of
copies. This volume, which retails for
a quarter, is one Of the chief sources of
revenue of the citizens committee, and
is said to be the handsomest volume of
the kind ever issued. The cover is
handsomely embossed and Illuminated,
and the paper and presswork, the letter
press and illustrations, the acme of
handsome Typography. The volume

of the local railway yards, but as most
of these visitors will arrive in three
days and their tickets are good return

there will be NO congestion of traffic
because of the great number of arrivals
during the early days of the week.

been much improved by the extensive
