year Tt was deemed advisable that this
question should be settled before those
interested In having the race again held
iu the Southern city should make a bid
for the contest
The subject was discussed at length,
with the result that the representative
OF the militia expressed the view that
there would be 40 objection on tire part
OF the men to sustaining the patrol for
