1t has been suggested by many that,
if the Centennial literary exercises are
continued in the evening, after the
long exercises of the afternoon, they
will be too long and will not furnish that
variety of entertainment which would
be expected on an occasion of the kind.
1t has been suggested therefore that,
instead of the literary exercises of the
evening, there be a reception, extended
to the guests of the city by all our citi-
zens, which all may attend, and where
an opportunity may be given for init
mate and friendly intercourse.
