It is evident that the program for the approaching Executive (aside from the charming social entertainments which will be arranged for it, and the brilliant evening of public exposition with which it will entertain the public) will hold work enough of sufficient interest to induce the members of the Executive from far and near to meet in this fair city of the Middle West.
