S120. In the drawing Of sea'3 the sam
plan es adopted lat year will be followed
That is, the doors will be open at min
o'clock, and the one standing first in lin
will be handed ticket number 1. Each per
son in turn, as he enters the door, will
re ceive q ticket with number thereon
which win determine his order in tn
drawing OF the seats. After receiving tn
number the holder will be furnished with
seat in the rooms. Then at ten o'clock, nun
ber will be called by the secretary, an
each numter in order thereafter. No on

seats. Should any persons holding numbe
be absent from the room when their nun
her is called, they will forfeit their right
secure reserved seat until the last numbe
given out he's been called. That is to say
they will be obliged to take the same plaC
in the order of the drawing r5 though the

the only object in using the numbers to dt
tsrmne the place in line, is to enable th
holders to be seated in the building instea
OF being obliged to stand in line two {
three hours, which is very tiresome an
disagreeable especially if the weatht
