nevolent Association held last Tues
day a program for convention day
was mapped out and adopted, and
the arrangement committee was
given full power to carry out the
program. The committee on music
reported bid of SLIT from the
Marigi Second Regiment Band OF
New Orleans, to play three days and
to have free passage, board ana
lodging. The bid was accepted, Mr.
| Toney Gabriel agreeing to board the
band for one dollar a day each.
| Much interest is being evinced IN
the occasion and every effort Will
be made to give the visiting firemen
| and their friends good time. The
| question of whether the carnival pa
| rade will be put on is not fully de-
cided, as the expense for this under
taking would be considerable. There
are a good many people who would
like to see this parade repeated, and
if it is possible to meet the expense
no doubt the firemen will do SO.

been invited to speak as the orator
of the day.
President FitzSimons has sent out
200 invitations.
