ing will bo hold at tho opera houso com
mencing nt ten o'clock. This building
has been selected becauso it will hold a
larger crowd than any other in town,

velopes containing the registration
cards will bo dumped into a wiro on
closed space on the stage, the pile will
be thoroughly stirred with a pitchfork,

hand them over to the proper person

Judge Whitten, superintendent of reg
istration and drawing, will explain in
detail the method to be pursued in the
selection of the land by those who are
f ortunato in the drawing. This method
is not clearly understood by tho public
generally, and in making this mattor
clear Judge Witten will be rendering
the people a great service, for the suc
cessful ones will know definitely just
how they are to proceed.
At this Monday evening meeting the
band will be present and render music,
and it will also furnish music Tuesday.
Quito a number of visitors who now
are in the city have announced their
