Change Of Program Not Made
Last Night.
C.. T. TOBURN RED FIRE
Preparations Will Be Made to Feed
the Soldiers at Both Race
Track and Auditorium.

After a thorough discussion of weather
probabilities, the executive committee
concluded last night to defer action as
regards a change in the programme of
soldiers day, n placed the matter in
Lloyd, Lieutenant Calkins and Governor
Richards. 1t vas also decided to go
ahead with the preparations for feeding
the soldiers at both the race track and
the Auditorium.
When the meeting was called to order
Chairman Mantle stated that Governor
Richards, General Lloyd and himself had
visited the race track during the day.
They found that the track was in fairly
good condition.. If more snow came the
condition of the place would be such that
the soldiers and those who were endeav-
oring to do them honor would be very I'M
comfortable. The senator said that the
weather was a guess, with the chances
in favor of bad weather.
William Thompson suggested that prep
aratlons be made to feed at both the
Auditorium and the race track.
Ex-GoVernor Richards was opposed to
any change at present. He was of the
opinion that the better way would be to
make preparations at the Auditorium as
we'll as the race track. At the suggestion
of Major Henry Mueller, the matter
was placed in the hands of the gentle
men named, with power to act as the
weather might necessitate.
About this time a telephone message
was received announcing the fact that a
brisk breeze was blowing up Main street
and that the jib boom of the Arch of
Triumph had caught the wind and the
arch showed a yacht-like inclination to
sail up the street to the new federal
building site. While this intelligence was
being discussed Police Captain James
Leyden appeared and stated that some
thing should be done at once in regard to
the arch.
1.-The arch has been blown up much of
late,' remarked Chairman Mantle, land
now it looks as though it might be blown
down. He suggested that the contrac-
tors be notified and that the structure
be firmly anchored. This was accord
ingly don
A telegram from Frank Conley, tender
ing the committee the use of 10 saddle
horses, was received. Tenders from w.
Boomer, Ike Heilbronner and r. S. Feur-
tado were also received.

The chairman reported that the owners
of hacks asked S1E for tho of o,,,
hack during the parade only. The price
was considered exorbitant and on motion
of DID,. Hennessy it was decided that the
executive committee should walk in a
body.
