Owing to lack of room and other suf-
fcient reasons, the first intention OF
having ladies present at the banuue;
at City hall has been abandoned and
they will probably be entertained by
Trinity ladies in one of the hotel par
lOrs.
There will be 400 seats at the banquet
and letter read promised that the

the American music at the feast. 1t

Grafton committee of quite a display by
many people and as has before been
stated. almost everyone is arranging

to put out large flags and have very
kindly rendered other courtesies to
