FOR THE AUDITORIUM.

Public AsSemblages.
D J. Greenwald, who has the honor of
being the originator of the plan to hold
a monster Midsummer fair for the ben
eft of the auditorium, is too modest to
outline plans for such an exhibition in
the absence of any official action, but
anyone who is acquainted with Mr.
Greenwald, will know that if he once
does take hold of the arrangements,
there will be no danger of failure.
The auditorium association has been
working hard to get the subscription
work out of the way before anything
else is undertaken and the subscriptions
should be nearly all secured this week.
OF course more will be coming in all the
time, but by the end of the week the
city should be thoroughly canvassed.
Then the members of the association
viii be ready to take hold of other
things. The first thing that will be
considered will be the Midsummer fair,
which has already been formally adopt
ed by the association, and by which the
remainder of the money needed will
have to be raised.
Mr.. Greenwald says that in the event
that the plans for the fair are made
elaborate enough to be of state impOr-
lance and which would result in bring
ing people to Topeka from all over the
state, it should be held some time in
June.
In case that it is made a fair which
would be properly classed a city
event he thinks 1t should be held in Ju-
". One strong reason for giving the
fair later is that it will give more time
for preparation.
One point which is emphasized by Mr..
Greenwald is that the ladies should be
interested in the fair before anything
else is done. THE women of Topeka
will have to be depended upOn,' said
he, Ito do much of the work and plan
could not be made a success, so it is of
the first Importance to get them inter
ested- As far as the actual work of
the fair is concerned, after it is started
the women would have to do practically
everything. At an affair Of that kind
men cannot sell anything"
The auditorium association will meet
Wednesday evening to check up. The
list of subscriptions is already near the
$4,000. and this means that the assOci-
alton should take immediate steps to
commence work. The people are anx-
iOuS to see the work commenced, and
then the remainder Of the money neces-
sary to erect the building will come
more easily.
While the council requires but $12, 500
to be raised before the work is COM
menced, it does not mean that it will re-
quire only that sum added to the coal
hole fund to complete the building. The
indications are now that it will take at
least $4,000 more than the sum specified
in the ordinance to build and equip the
building with heating plant and seats.
