WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.
GREAT LABOR NECESSARY IN LOOKING
AFTER THE DETAILS

THE MEMBERS CARRYING OUT THE TRUST IN
POSED UPON THEM-2cooo TO BE SEATED
WITHIN EARsuoT OF THE TOMB
AS soon as the idea of the Grant Monument ded-
cation ceremonies projected 1t was recognized
that a number of committees would have to be
appointed to look after the vast details OF the ar
rangements 10 make the ceremonies the success that
New-York and the country expected them TO be-
With this idea In mind Mayor Strong on February
10 appointed a citizens committee including 2oJ
men prominent IN New-York life. To each or these
he sent a letter OF notification OF the appointment
which was TO the effect that the transfer OF Grants
Tomb IN this city imposed n trus. upon the COM
mtee which required that Its labors should be be-
gun at once and should be carefully perfected In
every detail
From this committee OF 200 there was afterward
appointed a general executive committee including
the subcommittee on invitations of which Mayor
Strong Is chairman; expenditures Emu ROOF chair-
man. pIan and SCOPE General Horace Porter chair
man: military General Grenville NJ. Dodge, chair
man: naval Commander Jacob w. Miller chair
man: decorations and platform. Cornelius y reilly
chairman: transportation, Samuel Spencer charmah'
press William ]. Arkell, chairman; pubic safety
and order Theodore Roosevelt chairman badges
Alexander Caldwell. chairman; and reception Henry
w. Cannon. chairman.
or these committees there were none that nad
moro arduous duties imposed upon them than those
of decorations and platform press and reception.
The charmen Of these three committees have been
over head and ears In work since the frst meetings
were held and the organizations perfected. Upon
their success In handling the great amount OF detail
for tho arrangements is largely dependent the sue
cess or failure OF the dedication ceremonies.
HARDLY A MOMENTS REST.
Mr.. Arlell, Editor Of Judge has known scarce
" a moments rest since his committee took up the
work of attending to the representatives OF the
New-York newspapers and correspondents from out

the plans in order to give the fullest particulars to
the public His committee has also to provide FOR
the great number OF newspaper correspondents VINO
