her population was largely made up of
young men. 1t looks as though the coming
celebration of the 9th of September will
be a signal triumph among celebrations for
the reason limited at by that writer. Ger
tainly the meeting last night of the joint
committee in Pioneer Hall displayed a
superabundance of the spirit that moves
great enterprises.
1t was a meeting of young men-of en-
thusiastic, intelligent, wide-awake young
men, each of whom is evidently animated
by one idea-how to make the coming cele-
bratiOn the greatest on record. Each one
exhibited spirit of mutual aid and as
sistance, and all betrayed a sharp atten-
ton TO the business on hand. The meeting
was called to order by Vice-Chairman w.
ii. Metson, who proceeded to business
without any circumlocution. After the
minutes were read by Secretary r. P
Doolan, the reports of the committees were
called for and read.
WITH REGARD TO FINANCES.
The Committee on Finance reported that
it intended to commence its canvass on the
10th inst 1t had divided the city into
collection districts, and will have books
printed and prepared in which to record
the su descriptions. All designations or va

filled by the chairman OF the parlor IN
which the vacancy occurs, to be approved
by the President of the Joint Committee.
On July 10th the committee proposes to
issue an address to the citizens OF San
Francisco, setting forth the object and i'm
pOrtance of the celebration, and by other
means raise public spirit and interest in
giving freely. The bond of the Treasurer,
James p DOekery, was also approved by the
committee.
After the report of the Committee on FL
nance, Fred Crocker said that the Finance
Committee had discovered that some Of the
parlOrS are collecting funds from the gen.
eral public for their own private celebra-
tions. Such action would seriously hamper
the General Finance Committee in its work,
and he hoped it would be stopped.
Mr.. Steinbach moved that ii be the sense
of the joint committee that no parlOr be al
lowed to collect funds outside Of its own
members for its particular celebration.
The motion was carried.

1900 for each steamer We also ask that we be

on The different caterers as to refreshments but

the different events, and had estimated the
approximate cost of the music needed to
