At a meeting of the Committee of Share.
holders OF Perham's Gift Enterprise, held at
the Academy Hail, Broadway, on Wednes-
day Evening, April l8;h, 1885, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted and
ordered to be published;
Whereas, in view of the fact that several
enterprises have been started and carried on
with seeming positive purpose of defraud-
ing those who could be persuaded to purchase
tickets therein; aud such fraudulent proceed.
ings have exerted an injurious influence in the
sale of tickets in the enterprise of Mr., Per-
ham; and whereas, it is deemed essential that
all the tickets should be disposed of before
the distribution takes place, be it therefore
Resolved, That in order to allow time for
that purpose, the distribution be postponed
until the 9th of July, at such place as may
hereafter be determined on. .'f
Rc6Olusd That the committee have undi.
minished confidence in the integrity of Mr.
Perham, and in his disposition TO conform to
all his published promises to his patrons.
