ASTER SHOW
Inclement weather Is rcipoUHlhl.
for a postponement of tho Aster
show planned to ho held In this city
next Saturday afternoon nnd evening.
The general arrangement committee
held a consultation this morning, oh !
In view of tho gloomy prorpect for
Saturday's wrnthor, It. was deemed
udvlsabli! to call tho event off rather
than make It "n half-henrled affair. A
delay of n week" would imt harm
things materially, and even through
a trlflo later, would be better than
attempting to conduct tho show next
Saturday when Indications point to a
continuation of tho wenther that has
prevailed for tho' past two or three
days.
