REGISTRATION See Se Accommodations for over thousand people have been found by entertainment committee of the Christian Endeavor convention in the boarding houses and homes of Washington, and it is estimated that five thousand more will be quartered in hotels, and an additional five thousand will stop with friends. An active canvass of the city by members of the auxiliary entertainment committee is now in progress, and it is the earnest wish of the committee that the private homes ally these of persons in sympathy with and interested in the Christian En- deayor Society, should be opened for the accommodation of the many thousands who have beer invited to enjoy Washing- ton’s *hospitality during the July conven- tion, A circular letter was recently addres: to the city pastors and notices read in the be churches asking that desirable homes placed at the disposal of the committee. In the canvass now being made by the committee on entertainn.ent,” says the le ter to the s, “it is found that the in- mates of willing, f¢ them, and jan homes seem n or another, to olfer jally desirable that these Christian homes Le 1 for entertaiumeat of our guests, who are among the best young people in the churches. The fair fame of our hospitable city is at stoke, and our citizens generally should glacly offer their homes, and thus help to care for our guests.” The minis- ters were asked to assist the commitiee by bringing the matter to the attention of their congregations in such manner as seemed proper to them, urging the mem- bers of the churches to open their homes to the visitors. A Cordial Response. The pastors cordially responded and spoke of the matter publicly to their con- gregations. As a result private homes have been offered more freely than before, andi the list of available accommodations is rapidly incre The committee is especially desirous that homes be found for the visitors in the midst of the families of the city. The members are on the lookcut for places that will accommodate from two to four or six rather than large houses, where twenty or forty can be taken care of. They want the guest chambers in the best homes the because they believe the visitors who will attend t of the Christian vor are in every way worthy lo occupy m. They want into close idents of the city, so that the cilizens will | about the organizaticn ind catch som) the enthusiasm with which the dele will be fired.

Of course the delegates i while here and do not come with any ex- pectation of receiving free entertainment. If the committee cared to avail itself of the many propositions that dally are pre- sented for its consideration, looking to the renting of unoccupied houses and sc: furnishing them with the bare nec accommodations for more than the expect- ea number of visitors would Goubtless ready be secured. But the commit rejected all such proporals, becau confident that the private ho good society and the comforts of life c: be enjoyed in addition to the use of the rooms, will be offered by the householders of the city. At the recent object Jesson meeting held in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school hous for the benefit of the members of the enter- tainment, reception and registration com- mittees, it became evident that the plan of registering delegates should be very much simplified or a great deal of confusion and delay would result. A new method has Leen devised. It is elaborate and goes very much into detail, so far as prelimina work is concerned, but it is believed that it 1s as simple as possible in its actual workings. To carry out the plan will call for a great deal of work from the regis. tration committee in the next two weel but it will he possible to do the actual regis- tration with a minimum of effort and with gratifying rapldity. The Registration. Briefly outlined, the plan is as follows: Fcur separate cards are called into requi- sition. The first, called the “host card,” is filled out by members of the entertain- ment committee while canvassing for ic- commodations. It is to contain the name and address of persons willing to receive delegates Into their homes, the number that can be accommodated, whether men cr wcmen, the nvmber of rooms to be pro- vided and the rate charged. Another card is the regular registration blank, to be filled out by delegates while en route to the city, giving name, address, city, state, church and denomination. The other cards are in tie nature of credentiais, or cards of introduction, to be presented by delega to the hostess in the hemes to which they are assigned They are of three colors; the green representing those houses in itch women only will be entertained; pink, those Where men are desired, and white for homes whether either can be sent. These cards will be addressed to the hostess, and read: “Intreducing for your entertainment during the fifteenth international Christian Endeavor convention, July, 1896, Mr. Blank of Blank.” The process of registration wil! be after this manner: If Mrs. Jones agrees to en- tertain three men and two women, her name and address are written on three pink and two green cards of introduction, and the five strapped together with the “hest card.” When the convention is about to begin these are given in charge of the registration committee in the nearest church headquarters. As delegates arrive and register they expect to be assigned to their stopping places. The visitor will pre- sent to the registration committee his reg- istration card, filled up, so far as his name and hone address are concerned. He asks for accomimodatiors, and one of Mrs. Jones’ pink cards is given him in exchange for his registration cerd, which is substitute in the pack strapped to the “h ecard. When the three pink and two green card are all given out and replaced by registra- tion cards the committee is aware that Mrs. Jones has been sent all the persons she can accommodate. It is also known just what persons are stopping at. her house. The registration and assignment of delegates have thus taken place, and yet not a stroke of a pen or scratch of a pen- cil has been required. After the rush of registering is over, the members of the cemmitjee will fill out at the bottom of each registration card the Washington ad- dress of the delegate whose name and home address appear on the upper portion, and the registration will be complete. Yesterday four thousand cards, repre- senting accommodations in Northeast Washington, were written and are now at headquarters awaiting comparison and verification. The work will be pushed, and when the delegates begin to arrive these cards will all be in the hands of the proper sections of the auxiliary registration com- mittee. Rehearsing the Male Chor Last night the first rehcarsal of the maie chorus being organized to lead the sing- ing in the men’s meeting in one of the tents Saturday morning was held in the Western Presbyterian Church. The cho- rus will be led by P. B. Bilhorn, one of the three musical directors selected for this convention, and the music will be sung from a book of songs of his own composi- tion, copies of which have been loaned the men’s chorus until after the convention. It is desired to enroll 200 members for this work and any male singers who have not yet joined are invited to do so. Saturday evening at 6:30 in the First Congregational Church another reheasal will be held. It wiil cceapy only an hour, so that the evening can be free for other engagements. The church section of the reseption com- mittee met vesierday afternoon, with Miss Bell, the chairman, presiding. The plans of the station and raliroad sections w that discussed, and it was ré various churches are being arra) the reception of delegates, in ac: with plans suggested by the object le given at Calvary Baptist Church some time ago. The station section of the re- ception committee also held a meeting, at which the subject of dividing the work among the various members of the staff was discussed. orted Information Booths. The project of establishing information booths at the depots was taken up, and !t was decided to arrange for the posting of a schedule showing the time of arrival of all trains bearing dele: so that all members of the committee might be fully informed rding the hours at which del- tions will arrive. A large kboard will be displayed showing the departing time of delegations from their states, as vell as the hour each is expected to ar rive in this city, is dela: th reraph to hee fon will be po vd up on the board. t he ushers committce also met and or- nized four divisions, three to have cherge of the ushe tents and the re Axsign ing in the large other of Central Hall.
