The Work of the Fourth of July Celebra-
tion Apportioned out
The first meeting of the committee
on arrangements for the Fourth of July
celebration was held in Simmons hall
Wednesday evening. The attendance
was quite full and the work before the
committee was taken up with enthusi-
asm, which insures the complete sue
cess of all the plans so far laid, and the
plans which are hereafter to be laid.
The committee organized by select
ing the same officers who had acted as
chairman and secretary heretofore, A.
E. Buckmaster being chairman and
Norman Baker secretary.
The first matter to come before the
meeting was communication received
by Mr.. Buckmaster from an aeronaut
who desired an engagement for bal
loon ascension. The matter was not
acted upon further than to lay it over
to some other meeting.
Col. Strong had made out list of
eleven subcommittee to which the
work of arrangements was to be appor-
toned. This list Was adopted, and
the chairman was ordered to fill them
out with the desired number of names.
and to furnish the list to the papers OF
the city.
A collector and treasurer being
deemed important at this time, c.. 81.
Gonnelmann was elected to that posi-
ton. 1t will be Mr.. Gonnermann's
duty to collect all the various amounts
which the soliciting committee has Sc
cured subscriptions of.
Another sub committee was provided
for in the one to visit the common
council to see what it would be willing
to contribute toward the celebration.
Mayor Farr was made the head of the
committee and Chairman Buckmaster
was empowered to appoint two assist
ants. This committee will also ask for
the use OF the parks and public
grounds of the city for the day.
Secretary Baker was instructed to
correspond with Company NJ, First in
fantry, /. n. g., to see what fixed
amount would be necessary to defray
its expenses of transportation and en-
tertainment. This will be done for the
reason that the committee desires to
know exactly what amount of money
to lay aside for this purpose.

ham and ex-Gov. Hoard if they could
be present on the Fourth of July.
kilograms in answer were read. Mr..
