tho members to the fact that Mr. McAliister hsd AL
ready written similar letter 70 Mr. Garry ana =
resolution was framed and passed 10 The eeeet tb.a
no communication could be made 70 or by the com.

ship Of The committee and from the manasership OF tie
bali because Of various offences, aud was asked he
had anything say In regard 10 the statements he said
he would prefer TO remain silent on the subject for As
present.
Mr. McAliistsr showed no signs of resentment but
acted as bis feelings had been deeply wounded By
the reflections cast upon him. He refused TO oiscua
the committees action merely saying: have done
al in my power to make the ball success.
doesn't matter what they say Of me, but 10 seems
rather unkind after all that have done' great
