committee was held last evening at the
store of j. johnson & Son on Church

to-morrow's carnival Stephen A.
Howe of Howe & Stetson presided.
Mr.. Cass, chairman of the publicity
committee, reported that the $500 free
transportation tickets had been sent to
the various distributing stations. and
that owing to the especially great de-
mand for them at Meriden some of the
Wallingford tickets were transferred to
the former place, the demand for the
tickets at Wallingford not having called
for the entire number allotted to that
place. OF the 5000 free entertainment
tickets printed, only 2,700 have been
distributed, as the seating capacity Of
the Hyperion will not permit of more
than that number gaining admission.

State streets. On motion of Mr.. john
son, the entertainment committee was
directed to hire band of music to es-
cort the parade, and Mr.. Southland was
requested to arrange for the line of
march with the fire marshal. It had
previously been thought that the fire
department instead of giving parade
would give an exhibition on the Green,
but this plan will now be changed and
the parade will be held, as at first pro-
posed.

committee reported what his committee
had done in the way of preparing an
entertainment. He announced that Mr..
