I. j. Clunie said the Board had all power
not forbidden to it in managing the Society.
He spoke warmly in favor of indorsing the
act of the Board-a Board that stands without
reproach for its faithfulness and integrity.
Christopher Green was glad the matter had
been discussed, as it had been talked of on
| the outside.
Mr.. Comstock of Yolo held the Board had
| as good right to give life certificates as to
| give complimentary tickets, as they have
to do.
/ +. K. Dray moved to refer the whole mat
ter to a committee of eight citizens
VIM. Johnston reiterated his statement
that the grants were not new, but in accord
ance with custom.
Mr.. Dray withdrew his motion to refer
that direct vote might be taken.
On the resolution OF Mr.. Robinson, the
question was called and division ordered.
By 16 to SO the resolution was defeated,
and on motion of L. j. Clunie, the act Of the
| Board was ratified by large viva voce vote
The election of President being in order,
Mr.. Chase, of San Francisco, nominated II.
NJ. Larue with eulogistic remarks. No other
nominations being made, Mr.. Bassett and
MIR. Dray were appointed tellers, and by sus-
! pension OF the rules the Secretary was in
| structed unanimously to cast the vote for Mr..
| Larue, and it was so done. Mr.. Larue re-
| turned his thanks and promised faithful and
earnest service for the ensuing year. He said
| ne was devoted agriculturist, and had har
vested twenty-n nine consecutive annual crops
from the soil of California.

Mr.. Chase, of San Francisco, nominated
w. Z. Coleman, Sacramento.
Mr.. Green declined in favor of Mr.. Ship
pee, and urged him to stand to the nomina-
ton.
The vote resulted as follows Total vote,

Finigan, 46; Brown, TO- scattering, 4-andl
the three first named were declared elected
for three years term.
Mr.. Chase offered the following resolu-
tom
ReSOEred, That the attention Of the Board of
Directors is called to the inadequate facilities
tended to the owners OF stock for the purpose of
boarding the men employed by them, and that it
is the sense Of the Society that properly constructed
bu ldings should be at once erected convenient to
the training stables for the purpose of being used
kitchens and for sleeping apartments.
Mr.. Chase said the stock men, lie thought,
would themselves advance the means to put
up the cheap buildings named. Without
these he feared that the stock men would
cease to come. They want to practice
economy, and cannot do so when compelled
to put their employees into boarding houses.
Mr.. Rose said the lessees rental had been
lowered $3.50 month in order to have him
consent to the stock men boarding their own
men. He did not oppose the plan, but was
unwilling to consent to any further creation
of debt
Mr. Robinson moved to amend, that the
buildings be erected, if done at the expense
of those desiring them.
The President said the stock men now have
the right to put up buildings if they wish.
Mr.. Chase was willing to accept the amend
ment. All the stock men ask is that they
can have proper places tor their employees to
board and sleep near the stock they have in
charge.
Mr. Dray moved to amend, that the build
ing should be erected where the Superintend-
emit shall direct.
The resolution, with both amendments,
was adopted. About the time the vote was
called for on the resolution of purchase, the
same drunken man who had before created
much disturbance and interrupted the meet
ing because so personal in his remarks as to
be called to order, and refusing to obey, T. j.
Clunie, as Sergeant-at-Arms, elected him
after struggle, in which both went to the floor
amidst much excitement and confusion.
Order was soon restored, and the meeting
adjourned with general congratulatory ex-
change among the members upon the resolu-
tions adopted, the general expression being
that as the matters discussed and acted upon
had been street talk here and elsewhere, it
was better to have them openly ventilated
and settled
