cupied by City Trustee Kent.
DR.. Curtis asked to be allowed to
make few remarks.
"Cut them short, Doc" said the
Chair.
Il will, Mr.. Chairman" responded
the Doctor. Il have here two distin-
guished gentlemen from street, one of
whom is All Butch, the wellknown and
popular Chinese funeral director. 1t is
desired that he shall act as Marshal
of one division that will include Chi
nese orchestra.
THE other gentleman offers to fur
nish a band of Chinese musicians for
So, or 81 each, for five performers.
What tunes do they propose to play,
Doc?" asked the Chair.
Doctor Curtis held a private confer
erce with his Chinese visitors, and then
informed the Chair that it would be
horrible" music
A member of the committee here in
formed the Chair that Butch had mis-
represented the Chinese band, and
He replied that the five musicians
would want $50. He said they would
be taken from the Chinese theater and
would be good musicians.
The Chair suggested that $15 would
be enough and after some discussion
the matter was referred to the Commit
tee on Music.
1t is proposed to make the Chinese
feature of the display a very unique
one. Butch will be mounted on a
"crowbate," and his badge of authority
will be a huge cigar.
