Ihere Was another slim attendance
AT the meeting of the Fourth of July
general Committee last night, and the
turtle wasn't in town, either.
Mayor Land, IN opening the meeting,
prophesded the most successful celebra-
ton held here in years, basing his
judgment on reports of committees be-
1cre received.
1t was agreed to have a music stand
erected for the band during the after
noon entertainment, at a cost not to
exceed $40, the funds to be drawn from
the Carriage Committees appropr1a-
Mon, In which there would have been
q surplus.
Grand Marshal Seymour reported that
the parade detail was working out
nicely, and that while some of the civic
organizations had been slack in send
ing in their acceptances of invitations
to turn out, they were now coming in,
and that feature promised to be sue
cess. He expected to have his procla-
nation ready for publication on FRI
day.
The Grand Marshal gave the line OF
march as follows: Parade to form on
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, right
resting on north and south; march
down to Second, to X, to Tenth, to
N, to Fifteenth, and then counter
march to Tenth and L, there to dis
band.
The parade will form at $3.50, and
will start at 10 o'clock sharp, so as to
be through by 1870 at the latest.

The Grand Marshal said there would
be sad lack of music in the parade
that four bands were needed, whereas
only three had been contracted for. He
desired two bands for the Second Dr.
vision, and with that arrangement there
would be none to precede the Third
Division, which would consist entirely
Of vehicles He advocated contracting
with drum corps to fill in the gap.
provided it were possible to raise the
funds
Mayor Land suggested that the mem
bers of the committee contribute the
amount necessary to procure the drum
corps ($S1), and offered to head the
list with a $40 subscription.
A motion of General MARITIME that
each member Of the committee be as
eessed 81 was carried, but subsequent
ly Supervisor Mclaughlin appeared
and said he had been authorized to say
to the committee that the board Of
which he was member would make
up any shortage Of the committee, pro-
vided the same did not exceed 500.
This statement placed the committee
on easy street, and the motion to levy
the assessment was reconsidered.
