for the literary exercises of the day.
A speakers stand will be erected at
the northeast corner Of the school
building, and treStle beLChes will be
stretched over the entire north lawn,
extending as far south on the east
and west as will be permissible 10 af-
iOr1ing good view and keeping in
hearing distance Of the speaker. TIE
benches will be arranged early in the
day for the convenience of the public.
The nervouSly inclined who do not
desire to remain in the business cen.
ter during the cannonading, and jam
Their way through masses Of enthusi-
astic humanity throughout the FORE
noon, can retire to the greenSward
and diSport themselves among the
weaveS Of trestle benches to their
hearts delight. As we have hereto
fore stated and repeatedly affirmed,
it is the sole object and intent of the
committee in whose hands the mat.
ter of public comfort has been
left, to make everything as easy fol-
the public as possible, and no pains
or lumber is being spared to provide
amply for the comfort of the bowling
masses. The lumber yards of the
city are enjoying delightful run Of
business on that account this very
day, for it is fact, that at this mo
ment the work of hOneycombing the
school grounds with seats Of soft pine
is already well under way.
The seats will be erected early
in the dewy morn of the Third
and the public in general is invite5
20 make free and easy use of them.
AT noon the public will not only bt
welcome to take their lunches to the
school grounds and partake freely
thereof in the cool watts, but it viii
absolutely be expected OF them thar
they recognize this imprOvised park
as picnic ground and act accord
ingly. Barrels Of ice water will bt
found at convenient points ruunC
about, and the country swain and hi.
sweetheart will be allowed full anC
unreStrained liberty in filling up tC
their hearts content.
The school grounds afford very
desirable place for holding the liter
airy exercises of the day, and posses:
the double advantage of being neal
the city and in a good shade. The
grounds are literally canopied with
eatalpa and maple trees, and under
their overhanging bOughs the literary
and refined elements of society is ey.
pected to deplcy itself and be RECALLED
with the sparkling wit and efferv
escent humor Of Topeka's most elo-
quent Hibernian, Pat COney.
After the literary exercises ere con
cluded the lighter forms of amuse-
ment will be observed up town. The
lazily inclined who desire to remain
on the benches, however, will not bt
disturbed, but will be encouraged
abetted and allowed to remain I'M
pestered in the full enjoyment o.
their languid patriotism. But those
VINO desire to enjoy side-splItting fur
must follow the crowd up town
where the greesed pig, the sack race
and the burrOs will hold full sway.
