Charles r. Richardson, of the nom
mating committee, suggested that they
notify each man of his appointment by
circular letter. The report and sug-
gestion was accepted.
A motion was made by DIR. Charles
S. Hart that the nominating committee
appoint committee of three in each
township to assist the other com
mittees in the arrangements. The mo-
tion prevailed.
A report from the finance committee
showed the subscriptions to amount to
over $500. The committee said they
would need little more time to raise
the necessary amount.
Several suggestions as to the kind of
amusements were offered, but no def
mite action was taken, as it is expect
ed tie committees will work promptly
and get a pretty definite idea of the
necessities by Monday evening.
The general outline of the celebra-
tion will be like those of years ago lin
chat the speaking will be in Muslsing-
um Park. The aquatic events will oc-
cur on the Muskingum river in front of
the park. The land events will per-
haps be distributed from the Ohio river
10 the boat house along Front street,
and If big industrial parade is gotten
UP 1T will of course take in the busi-
ness streets of the town. The fire.
works will be displayed from the Ohio
river, as the landing is a good place
for the audience to watch thom.
The commltte on music will make
every effort to have number of bands
from outside the city ami it is likely
rhere will be music in the air from
s,art to finish of the celebration
Chairman Hathaway was made a
committee of one to visit the City
Council to confer with them regarding
necessities for the occasion and such
concessions as can be had from them.
The meeting then adjourned to Mon
day evening at 4: 80 standard time.
