Convention
Marquette, Mich., July 10.—At 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, the steamer City of St. lgnace left Detroit, en route to Marquette with the largest party of bankers aboard ever assembled for a convention of the Michigan Bankers Association. There were over three hundred persons, the bankers being accompanied by their wives and daughters. At 6:30 the steamer put in at Port Huron and took on a party that was waiting at that point, and no other stop was made until the arrival at the Soo at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
There was a concert on the steamer Monday evening, participated in by Harold Jarvis, Miss Daisy Findlater, and Miss Helen W. Shafor. On Tuesday morning President Louis
G.	Kaufman, of Marquette delivered his annual address at a session on board the boat, and this was followed by addresses from prominent bankers. When the steamer reached Marquette Wednesday afternoon, a party of upper peninsula bankers, numbering about two hundred, met the lower peninsula delegation, the whole number combining in a convention fully twice as large as any ever held by the Michigan bankers.
At Marquette, President Kaufman entertained with luncheon and there was a trip to the iron mines of Negaunee and Ishpeming, banquets, dancing party and fish dinners. The bankers passed through Soo locks this morning and stopped at Mackinac Island at 2 :50 p. m.; dance at Grand hotel. Final business sessions will be held Saturday afternoon and the boat will reach Detroit Sunday morning.
