in the meeting of the Commercial club
last night when the committee report

the club, in speaking or the coming

to come here. There are 900 of them,
which meant that there would be 5000
people visit the city but he could not
urge it to come here unless there was
some hall large enough in which they
could meet, for the operahouse would
not begin to hold the people. He said
that unless he could give the members
of the sangerfest some assurance that
there would be an auditorium by July,
1912. he would not invite them to come
to Fargo.
