fore they choose 10 follow the plan
adopted in their first schedule, which
specified that no entertainments would
be attended.

and the chamber of commerce was
anxious TO cooperate with Mr.. Robin

plan of the convention. the only pro-
gram of entertainment will be individ-
ual courtesies extended by merchants
