chances are that by that time the New

preparation enabling the New York COM
mission to determine on u line of policy
in connection with n permanent memorial
and this city will then he IN a position
to act intelliEently on practically every
feature OF its program.
This subject has been discussed hv
individuals at different times and last
evening IT was further considered at the
Commercial club headquarters Some Of
the merchants say that they are busy
taking inventory In the fore part Of
January and they would prefer to have
tho banquet held later. A New York COM
mission Is acting with reference to a
waterway to Montreal from Chnmplain
similar 60 that 10 be opened between Lake
Chamrlain and the Hudson. and tho time
is pronitious for enlistng tho interest
Of Canadians in the Champaign celebra-
ton on this side Of tho boundary as well
ne in the Improvement Of the waterway
