the matter of raising funds for the pur-
pose of making proper display on the 9th
of Septembe held protracted session
last night in the headquarters in the Grand
Hotel. Charles F. Croker presided.
1t was decided to appoint committee
of three to take in charge the revision of
the collection districts. Complaints have
been made that many of the districts are
too large, and it was thought best to divide
them more equally. Messrs. r. P. Ham-
mond Jr, j. j. Flynn and F. II. Dunn
were appointed as members of the COM
mittee.
Chairman Croker announced that he had
received some designations from members
of the committee, and he desired to know
how the vacancies should be filled.
On the motion of Mr.. Hammond, it was
decided that the Chairman should fill the
vacancies, after comforting with the presid-
ing officer of the parlor to which the resign
ing member belonged.
DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES.
In regard to the preferences for collection
districts the Chairman said he had received
twenty-five responses to the letters which
were sent out He made the request that
for districts, as soon as possible, In order
that the work might be facilitated and di-
Yided as soon as possible.
1t was also announced by the Chairman
that it is proposed to prepare an address TO
the public in which the purport of the Gel
ebration would be set forth. The address
will be ready for submission for the ap-
prOval Of the committee next Tuesday
night. In the meantime he thought it
would not be bad idea for members to
suggest ideas which might be Incorporated
in this address.
Mr.. Hammond asked as to the expense of
printing the address and suggested that
subcommittee be appointed to wait upon
the various newspapers of the city and
learn whether reduced terms of publication
would be allowed.
j. j. Flynn was of the opinion that 1t
would be best to ask the proprietors of pa
pers to subscribe to the general fund and
the printing OF the address could be paid
for at whatever the regular rates were.

the Joint Committee of Arrangements, was

On motion of j. ID. Phean the bond was
given into the custody of the Chairman.
Another interesting matter which came
up was that of several parlors soliciting
subscriptions on the outside for their re-
spectlye uses.
The opinion of several members was that
the work would injure the laDors Of the
Finance Committee In soliciting funds for
the grand celebration.
The particular parlor mentioned was AL
calde Parlor, and j. J. Flynn Of Mission Par
l0r saidt lie had heard of the matter and
considered it an unwise proceeding.
X. I. Wieland also announced that j. 2.
DOckery had called upon MIN in the inter-
ests of California Parlor.
NO MORE OF THESE COLLECTIONS.
A resolution was passed that the joint
committee request the different parlorS to
refrain from going outside their parlor for
any subscriptions, and II any money is
needed it should be raised among the MEN,
berS of the parlOr.
j. j. Flynn moved that the various col
lecting committees be started out next
Tuesday, and the motion was carried.
j. ID. Phelan wanted to know if any ar
rangements had been made for printing the
names of subscribers, and the Chairman
said he did not doubt but that the various
daily newspapers would print them, and
that it is not necessary to have an official
organ for the purpose. The Committee
then adjourned.
A meeting of the Regalia Committee of
the N. S. G. w. was held at Pioneer Hall,
J. +. Finn presiding, and several bids for
furnishing regaliaS were received.
1t was resolved not to open any until
next Monday night, by which time il is
hoped other bids will have been received.
