squad is SO busily engaged in preparing
foe the Tuesday parade that he cannot CO.
operate with MIR. HenShaw in regard to
the Saturday affair. but he expresses him
self realizing that Saturday night is
likely to attract more Endeavcrers to the
parade than one at any other time. es
pecially since a number of visitors who
ride will have left the city by Tuesday

Mr.. Muir finds that his arrangements are
In such shape that they cannot be pushed
to completion by Saturday. He Is expect

that he cannot, therefore, divert his at
tention from the Tuesday evening parade
since IL will keep him hard at work to
properly prepare for that demonstration
