MORE PUBLIC SPIRIT
OBJECT OF THE CLUB
At Meeting Last Evening, Mo-
ton to Give Another Fall
Festival Was Carried in a
Hearty Manner.

Another idea in the form Of a boom
for Richmond was launched at the
meeting of the Young Mems Business
club last evening. 1t was decided to
hold monster mass meeting of the
business men of the city, in the ma
ture of a noon day luncheon, probab-
ly in the coliseum, sometime within
the next month, if possible. An invi-
tation has been extended to Hugh
Chalmers, the noted automobile man.
ufacturer of Detroit, to attend the
meeting and deliver an after dinner
address. On the particular subject of
business and boosting a town, Mr..
Chalmers is regarded as one of the
strongest speakers in the country. 1t
is thought that in event his presence
is secured he will be able to advance
many new and valuable ideas and
| suggestions to the local business men,
which will prove highly beneficial for
the best interests of the Panic Proof
City," A telegram was sent to Mr..
Chalmers last evening followed by a
letter this morning, urging him to ac-
cept the invitation if possible. How
ever. in case he cannot come, the
names of a number of other strong
speakers have been suggested, who
will be invited.
To improve Relationship.
A social luncheon will be served
for which a nominal sum will be
charged, merely enough to cover the
expense of the meal. The affair will
be held at noon in order that it may
not interfere with any other meeting
or business engagement. 1t is thought
that by means of this meeting. the
business men of the city will be
thrown into more intimate relation
ship. 1t is the wish of the club that
the business men continue to be inter-
ested in Richmond as a whole, and it
is believed that by closer association.
where an opportunity may be afford
ed for a thorough discussion of the
city's affairs in the form of a mass
meeting. will accomplish the object
and be productive of much good. The
committee named to take charge of
the meeting and make the necessary
arrangements is composed of Edward
H. Harris. R. G. Leeds, Will D. Loehr,
J. A. Spekenhier and John Zwissler.
Carried Unanimously.
Watson P. O'Neal made a motion
which was passed unanimously, to the
effect that it be the sense Of the
Young Mems Business club that an
other Fall Festival be held this fall
and that the club directors take steps
in the matter at once.
Expressions were heard from bust
ness men, shop men and farmers last
evening in respect to the Fall Festi-
val and they all favored the PROPOSE
a dissenting voice. 1t is hoped to
make the festival this year even a
greater success than last and cover a
wider scope. 1t is thought the enter
prise will be taken up with a greater
degree of enthusiasm even than that
which marked the two previous sue
cesses in this city.
To assist the council committee in
entertaining the state meeting of the
Municipal league in Richmond in
June, committee was appointed COM
