Athletics Make Hit
Mr.. Elliott said that Mot E'lints pro-
gram for the entertainment OF the en-
listed men had made such a hit with
Capt Vreeland of the Kansas that ne
was "dee-lighted' and had extra copies
printed for circulation among the men.
Monica bay committee, said the pre-
sentation of medal by Utah to Ad-
miral Evans at Venice mad been aban-
doned because the railroads could not
give rates that would make the cere-
mony satisfactory, and the presenta-
tion would be at San Francisco.
All the beach towns claim Friday
as a day for each. This incongruity
developed at the meeting and began
with a request from j. II. Munholland,
Long Beach advisory member, that
this day be designated as Long Beach
day in the official program. This was
disputed by the representatives OF the
other beaches, who declared that each
was entitled to the day. The discus
sion ended by the committee agreeing
to give each of the beach towns ten
lines in the program and let the heet
officers determine what they wanted
to do. RedondO, with $500 population,
reported that it had raised $1,000 and
was entitled to the day.
Treasurer WOOlWiue reported the
fleet fund of 5000 still deficient $4,000
in subscriptions and urged renewed
efforts TO bring the amount TO the sum
needed.
Chairman Flint reported that the ar
rangements for the entertainment of
the enlisted men were progressing rap
idly and that this feature of the cele-
bration would be ample and novel.
lie inquired If il was the desire that
complimentary tickets be ISSUED to the
members of The fleet committee, and
il was unanimously decided that no
complimentarieS be issued and that
everyone pay admission. The discus
sion of this developed the fact that no
arrangements had been made for chill
dren's admissions, and the committee
decided that children would be admit
ted to Chutes park and Agricultural
park for 10 cents.
Purses for Sailors
Mr.. Flint said the contestants in the
four sailor bouts for The loving cups
We're expecting cash purses and he
was authorized to offer purses not eX-
