citations will be issued next week. The
list has been entirely revised and will
number, perhaps. five hundred guests.
Special care has been taken with the
music. Bauer's band with forty-tivc
pieces has been engaged. and anyone
who remembers the way that band

If there is anybody in this city who
deserves the earnest and enthusiastic
support OF al the musical circles that
person is Mr. Docrsam. Indeed no
limit can be placed on the obligations
which the community owes to him.
