THE ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
Chief Marshal Stronach Appoint his
Assistants

Arrangements were last night com
pleted for Mr.. Bryan's reception and en-
tertanment while here.
The committees having the matter i'll
charge met last night at $ o'clock in
the mayors office and went over all the
plans for today.
Mr.. G.. II. Lee for the Finance com
mittee reported $50 raised. He was
directed to increase that sum this morn
ing to $3.50. This amount. it is thought,
will be sufficient in view of the fact that
Mr.. Raney will entertain Mr.. Bryan as
his guest at the Marlborough and Messrs.
Steinmetz and O'Quinn have contributed
all the flowers that may be necessary in
the decorations. Another contribution
that reduces the cost of the occasion
very materially is the tender of the Sea-
boards presidential cars for the Use of
Mr.. Bryan and the committee that meets
him in Washington This thoughtfulness
on the part of the Seaboard manage
ment is most profoundly appreciated by
the people OF Raleigh. During the meet
ing last night the following telegram was
read:
