$4,000 FOR PAVILION
Market Street Merchants Plan
to Raise Own Fleet Fund

The members of the Market street
Improvement association, at an enthu-
siastic mass meeting in the Central
raise $4,000 to equip in proper style
the big tented pavilion they are erect
ing for the sailors of the fleet.
The whole amount is to be subscribed
by patriotic merchants and business
men of that street If the plans of the
association are carried out Not one
cent of it will be drawn from the money
already subscribed to the fleet fund.
The pavilion, work on which has al
ready been begun, is situated in a big
vacant lot at Market and Eighth
streets where there is ample space in
addition for outdoor games and festi-
walls. The pavilion will be fitted out
with dancing floor, a gymnasium and
all sorts of conveniences for the enlist
ed men OF the fleet. II will be brilliant
ly illuminated at night and bands VIII
play continually.
In a speech in which he praised the
public spirit of the Market street mer-
chants, Walter Macarthur, chairman Of
the committee on entertainment OF en-
listed men, said that the pavilion would
be the real center of the whole feef
celebration. Macarthur declared tha.
the enterprise of the merchants woule
repay them from a business point o.
view and that it would work for the
benefit of the entire city.
Morris Levy said that the board of
