committee.

what time will suit the majority of
the business men. However, many of
them, when seen this morning, said
they would attend if possible when
the meeting was called.
After the club is reorganized per-
1haps one of the first things to be taken
up will be v. R. Parkhurst's propo-
sition to secure the location of the
fair grounds in the vicinity of the
North side. The matter of holding a
street fair in cooperation with a
street carnival may also be discussed.
At present people are expressing
themselves well pleased with the pros
poets for an active organization.
