Preparations for the coming event
in Holyoke went on night and
day and Ben was the busiest man in
the city. He had the happy faculty Of
being able to stretch himself out on
three chairs, or on table, with 8
bundle of papers as his pillow, and to
dismiss every care from his mind in a
moment and snatch an hours sleep
any time of the day or night. But one
week remained now before the opening
OF the first days ceremonies and he de-
voted twenty or more hours out of
every twenty-four to the work in hand,
snatching an hours sleep now and
then on the table.
From lines the reports in the
newspapers grew to columns and the
reporters made the chamber their head
quarters. Ben now had q trumpet at
his lips all the time, calling into action,
with the authority of the committees,
every man who was to take part in the
events of the week, aud there was plen-
ty of copy for the reporters. One day
this call went out:
At the meeting of the general COM
mittee on Merchants Week last night
the secretary was directed to urgently
request you to report at the meeting
Friday night at 8 o'clock sharp.
All com nittees appointed to solicit
subscriptions to the fund, are especial
ly urged to report and turn in to the
treasurer all money collected.
ALI committees on events OF the
week should report progress and give
full details of the work already done,
and what they propose to do, that the
chief marshal may make his prepara-
tions.
The time Is so short now in which to
complete the work that full attend
ance is urged.
Then he had to issue call for Chief
Marshal Colson, ras follows:
At meeting of the general commit
tee on Merchants Week last night, it
was resolved that representatives OF
every fraternity and society in the city
be invited to meet the chief marshal
Monday evening at O'Clock in the rooms
of the chamber, to complete arrange
ments for the procession of societies
and sternities to be held Wednesday
night, October ID, at 8 p. m, and
this invitation is cordially extended.
A letter of invitation was sent to
every fraternity anu sOclety III aoi-
yoke, on September II, inviting them
to Join the procession, and the in vitation
was also published in the newspapers:
but, owing to the change of address of
officers to whom the invitation was sent,
some of the societies it appears did not
receive 1t.
That invitation ia now cordially re-
peated to every society, and we earn
estly hope there will be q full repre-
seutation at the meeting on Monday
night and q general turn out.
Then came reports of the results of
these and other calls, which 1 extract

ton met last night, with Chairman D.

The only really unfortunate thing
about the whole weeks festivities was
the bedrabbed condition of the trades
procession. But the sunshine of the
balance of the week more than made
up for the one day of rain. And too,
despite the rain, an admirable display
was made by the merchan in the pa
rade, which q pouring rain could not
upset.
The parades were all excellent, and
there was such variety offered in the
programs of each day that people de-
sired to be present from the first to the
last day. The arrangement, too, was
such as to emphasize each attraction.
There was no punching of attractions
In way to make one detrsct from the
interest of the other.
The city has been gay all the week:
Proudly the American flag has waved
over the Paper City, brightcolors have
been seen on all sides, the buildings
have been decorated more or less law
ishly, the night illuminations have
been pleasing and effective, and the
people have been In holiday attire,
good nstured and open handed.
From one feature to another the peo-
pie have gone, and the visitors have
been shown the beauties of the city,
its commercial importance and possibi-
lities; its manufacturing establish
ments have been noted, its educational
institutions pointed out, it's social side
emphasized. ALI in all the city has
been freely advertised and it must be
materially benefited.
The best feature of the weeks cele.
bration is, of course, q matter OF taste.
What appeals most to one loses i'm
pOrtance to another, when compared to
some other feature. Thus the business
men naturally look upon the trades
nPn0oSsinn q no hri hit rt on ar a.
ture of the week. The 6remen and
many others will hold that the parade
of the department should have the
place of honor. OF course, the wheel
men and wheel women uphold the
wheel parade as the grand feature,
| while the fraternities will grant second
place to any other feature, but claim
irst place for their. parade Of Thursday
evening. The farmers cavalcade and
| grange exhibits, however, will be
given preference over all others by
some, while the Turner's parade of to-
day will be declared by many to have
eclipsed all other features.
The Holyoke Transcript in q two COL
umn report of the last days attr ac-
| tions, said:
It is the last day of the week and
marks the end of as successful and
profitable an affair, in point of attrac-
tions and display of Holyoke's business
and social life as ever graced any city
in Western Massachusetts,, or else
where, for that matter. This state
ment is emphatic enough, and is true.
It defies contradiction, and even the
Springfield papers recognize this
fact. The result should be an incress-
ed membership for the Chamber of
Commerce, and q continuance of it's
growing field of usefulness. There is
every prospect that the affair will be-
come an annual one in Holyoke.
What the business men of Holyoke
did the business men of any other city
in America can do-build up their own
city and their own business by building
up 8 strong Chamber of Commerce.

and they will be erected promptly.
Several merchants have ordered spe-
cial devices, and others may order if
action is taken promptly.
Chief Marshal Cotton held q confer
ence with members of several commit
tees last night and it was resolved to
hold the parade of societies and frater-
pities on Thursday evening, Oct. IA, at
8 o'clock sharp instead of in the after
noon. This change of hour insures an
immense parade as nearly every one of
the so or more organizationsin the city
is DESTROYS of participating. but some
of them we're hesitating, owing to the
uncertainty of the mills closing on the
afternoon of the parade. The change
of hour will bring nearly all of them in
line. Chief Colson has issued an order
requesting, every :society and fraterni-
ty In the city to appear in the parade.
1t has been suggested that an Amer
lean flag be placed on every building
of any kind in the city to remain there
during the whole of Merchants' Week.
And the advertising forces in the
country had to be kept moving and
the event had to be advertised
through the mails aud special letters
be sent to out of town organizations
likely to take part in the event. In
vitations had to be sent out to gov
ernors aud other dignitaries, excur-
sion rates secured from railroads, time
tables arranged and published, routes
for the parade selected and scores of
other preparations made, and, as the
reports I now close the story with
attest, Ben forgot nothing. Every
thing connected as nicely as the parts
of great machine. The Springfield
Union, after printing whole pages OF
reports of the various events of the
| week, said:
Merchants Week is ended and a
summing up shows that the affair has
been a huge success. The full benefits
however, will not be realized az once.
| The benefits of advertising cannot be
| seen Immediately. but like seed time
and harvest there must be flight OF
time between the advertisement and
the reeping of results.
Holyoke has been we'll and favorably
| advertised. The general expenses
reaching about $500, were small, com.
pared with what similar celebrations
have cost in other cities. OF course
| the foregoing figures do not include
the individual expenditures for decora.
lions and for floats for the parades,
| etc.
The week has been q busy one for
all concerned in the affair and the city
may we'll feel proud over the smooth
| ness with which every detail was car
ried out. The few changes In plans
made necessary by circumstances. over
which the various committees had no
control, were unimportant and in nc
serious manner marred the entertain
ment furnished the thousands of visi-
tors.

compel him to give up the paper.
The Advocate passed into the hands
of the Harrisons between two and three
years ago. AT the time of the transfer
it was the official Populist organ of the
state. 1t was conducted as a publ
cation with Socialistie tendencies fer a
time. bu later was made a non-political
publication.
