MERCHANTS WEEK ORGAN RECITALS
Arranged For Thursday Morning, April 23rd In Three Church es-Arangements Completed By Amusement Com mttee-Auto Rides For Children, Fire Department Demonstration and Free Shows at Theaters.

The amusement committee for Merchants week. of which W. A. Somers is chairman. has completed arrangements for the seven morning programmes for that important week.
 As already outlined, there are to be automobile rides about town on both Saturday mornings, for the visiting and home children. This feature is in the hands of a competent sub-com- mittee. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, the three theatres are to entertain visitors with free special shows. Tuesday is set apart for the fire department demonstration. There remained but one morning to Thursday, April 23rd.
 To meet the tastes of visitors who might find pleasure in Q more quiet form of amusement than those already arranged, it was decided to have three half-hour ogan recita1s in three of the down town churches all easily access sible and each having a fine pine or gan, such as all suburban visitors do not always have the privilege of hearing.
 The first church secured was Broad way Congregational, the committee, B. P. Bishop, Henry c. Peck and William G. Dawley readily agreeing to the plan, in which the pastor, Rev. Edward G. Worcester and the former chair man of the music committee, Gen. William A. Aiken, have shown much interest. The organist. Frederick w. Lester at once consented to play.
