thousands who are expected to assemble
on that occasion. In fact, Mr.. Broderick
predicted that no other hall in the city
was large enough to hold that crowd.
Relative to the afternoon place of en-
tertainment the committee reported that
without doubt the Tivol would be Sc
cured. Mrs. kreling had been seen in re-
gard to the matter and it was thought
arrangements would be perfected to-day.
The Tivoli people will put on their own
entertainment, which will be some piece
or programme appropriate to the occa-
sion, reserving time for short Grafton
and poem, both taking not more than
forty-five minutes or an hour. The prices
of admission will probably be similar to
those on matinee occasions. 1t was
thought that such an arrangement would
be far more satisfactory and provide a
better class of entertainment than by any
other. Moreover, the Tivoli management
would not permit the use Of that the
alter unless they were to provide most
of the entertainment. If by any slip the
theater is not secured the committee will
engage Metropolitan Temple, and the
Literary Committee will prepare pro-
gramme for the afternoons entertain
ment. The report of the Executive Com
mittee was approved
The chairman desired to correct a state
ment in the press that a committee was
soliciting funds for the celebration,
which was not the case. The convention
expected to raise a good sum of money
from the entertainment at the pavilion,
all of which after the payment of nee
essary expenses would be donated to the
Youths Directory.
The literary committee reported that in
the evening at the Mechanics Pavilion an
interesting programme would be rendered;
There would be grand chorus of 500
voices, under the leadership of Professor
John Mckenzie, who would also give a

the Youths Directory. There would also
be stereopticon views. of Ireland. with APP
