PAGEANT DATE S Fair and Chamber of Commerce Directors Meet But Settle Nothing Definitely. The date of the pageant which will celebrate ihe fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of South Pend as a town still hangs in the balance, but the historical affair will be held some time. This much was decided at a meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce with the directors of the St. Joseph County Fair and Amusement association at the Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon. Practically the only thing accomplished at tho combined meeting was a decision to allow nothing to interfere with the Interstate fair, which will be held the week of Sept. 14. The week of Oct. 4 was suggested as a possible time for the holding ot the pageant, but this date is far from detinite. The question of holding a fashion show was also brought up and it was suggested that this event be held with the historical pageant. Oct. 4, however, is thought to be too late to hold a fashion show. Arrangements for the fashion show will be made at a meeting of the retaliers of the city at the Oliver hotel Monday afternoon. Members of the municipal recreation committee and several of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce will meet with the merchants to decide whether the fashion show shall be held with the pageant. Members of the recreation committee probably will have complete charge of the pageant when it is held. According to II. G. Spaiilding, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, tho pageant will be such a big affair that it will be necessary for the committee to start work at once in order to hold it the fore part of October.
