Entertainment events were arranged so they would not conflict with the more serious business of the Congress. Of course, there were many private functions which did not appear on the program and were not arranged for until after the visitors arrived in the city.

The police of Buffalo, street car conductors, and all others who were likely to come in contact with delegates to the Congress, were instructed to be more than ordinarily careful in directing strangers.

The next evening, Wednesday, a demonstration was given in the armory of the Seventy-fourth regiment that pleased the thousands
