gather at the Commercial club 10 dis.
cuss matters of great moment

notice Of this meeting was not
generally circulated until the appear.
ance OF yesterdays Optic and for this
reason II was very likely that before
the announcement could reach the
people other plans had been made
for the evening.
SUI II rs passing strange that as
last night Was the regular night for
the meeting OF the directors Of the
Commercial club. az the officials OF
the Las Vegas Driving Park 4 Fair
association were considerably inter.
ested In some Of the matters In hand.
and as all the subjects planned TO be
taken up were Of much import to the
citizens. that the sum total of the
mass meeting was two men. both 81
rcctors OF the club and one an of.
fetal Of the driving association.
1t is not yet timely 10 mention the
matters that will be brought up at
the meeting this evening. II a respec.
table number OF citizens can be per.
suaded to attend.
One OF the subjects that was to
have been discussed last night is re.
ferred to elsewhere in this issue. Vim.

writer in the United States Is expected
TO be In the city tomorrow. Can there
b0 any doubt that 1t will be a good
plan 10 arrange 10 take this gentleman
