public comfort committees has the en-
gagement of quarters two weeks IN ad-
vance of the event to be celebrated
been so general as at the present time.
said Chairman NJ. l. Weller. of the pub
lie comfort committee. yesterday after
noon.
The individual application for quar-
ters has been unprecedented, and most
of the hotels have only such accom-
modations available as must be reserv-
ed for their regular customers. re-
ceived today from one hotel batch OF
seventy-five applications for accommo-
dations. each one representing from
two to eight persons. This hotel was
unable to consider them. and turned
them over to us to take care of.
Il would urgently impress upon all
persons who have registered their ac-
commodations with this committee the
desirability of their advising us as
soon as their available space is con-
tracted for. BY SO doing they would
not only facilitate the work of locat-
ing applicants and relieving them OF
much unnecessary correspondence, but
will contribute to their own convenience
by avoiding the annoyance of Continued
calls or correspondence. Furthermore
this committee has extended to them
its facilities without cost, and we be-
lieve that common courtesy woull de-
mand their compliance with this one
request
Many Visitors Coming.
The developments of the pas; few days
have banished all of Mr.. weller's mis-
givings as to the attendance at the en-
campment, and he is now convinced that
it will be unprecedented. In this opinion
he is supported by Mr.. John Joy Ed
son, who has just returned to the city
from a tour of the West. Ten . ears
ago Mr.. Edison was the chairman CT the
citizens executive committee, in charge
of arrangements for the twenty-sixth an
nual encampment.
Yesterday he informed Mr.. Barry
Bulkley, secretary of the executive
committee, that he was confident, as a
result of his observation OF :he condi-
tions in the West, that the attendance
at the coming encampment would be
larger than it was ten years ago. MIR.
Edison stated that the interest through
out the West, and particularly in Onio
is intense, and that the railroads will
be taxed to their utmost.
