presented, no matter how small, was in
the account of Mr.. Hanchette, to whom
the committee turned over $500 before
leaving for Chicago. OF this $500 Mr..
Hanchette has rendered full account.
A part of the items constituting
this account were not accompanied
by receipts or vouchers, but from
an examination of his accounts and
information furnished us by the COM
mittee, we are of the opinion that it is
an Eonest account, in which he accounts
for the portion of the 5000 by him ex-
pended, the balance being turned over
by him to the committee. And we are
satisfied, had Mr.. Hanchette been pres
ent, receipts would have been furnished
by him for all the items not accompanied
by receipts.
After the arrival at Chicago OF the
committee, Mr.. Hanchette accounted
for the $500 as above stated, after which
he had nothing whatever to do with the
receipts or disbursements of money, and
cannot therefore have any money in his
possession belonging to the carnival
fund.
And we feel that too much credit can
not be given to the committee for the
able and business-like management OF
the orange carnival. Respectfully,
II. t. HAZARD,
CHAs. FORESTER, Committee.
CHAs. N. FLINT,

The committee on the advisability of
preparing list of 100 questions and
answers, about this section, to be printed
in circular form and used by members
of the chamber of commerce in cores
pondence, recommended that such a
list be prepared and printed for general
distribution; that the circulars prepar-
ed by the chamber contain no adver-
tising matter of any kind; that it be
sold by the thousand to business men
of the city, to be used in all correspond
ence; the selling price to include any
specified letterhead printed upon it. They
also recommended that the greatest care
be exercised in the preparation of the
questions; that completeness, brevity
and accuracy be the three ends to be
secured. To gain these ends they sug-
gest the following plan: That prize of
$40 be offered to the individual sending
in the best list of one hundred questions
and answers. the award to be decided by
a special committee from the chamber,
the chamber specifying its right to make
use of any of the questions and answers
submitted in competition in connection
with those for which the reward is given.

Columbian exposition, said committee
to report plans at special meeting OF
the chamber, which was called for next
Friday night.
Business up to this point had been
very expeditiously transacted. 1t was
about 8 AS, and new business was the
order. Mr.. A. Phillips, the excursion

the following effect
He offered to print and circulate 50,-
0OO'coples of 48-page pamphlet, the
chamber to prepare the statistics and all
the reading matter. and have entire su-
pervision Of the affair, Mr.. Phillips re-
serving only sufficient space to defray
the bare cost of printing by selling the
space to advertisers, and the right to
control any railroad advertising con-
tanned in the advertising matter. Mr..
Phillips guaranteed that the pamphlet
would be printed and circulated entirely
without expense to the chamber, that
he would advertise the pamphlet and
the fact that it would be sent free to all
interested parties, in 1900 eastern news
papers, and that every copy not desired
by the chamber of commerce would be
judiciously circulated.
After warm discussion, the motion
to accept the proposition of Mr.. Phillips
passed, by a vote of over three-fourths
of those present.
The secretary was instructed to notify
the Santa Fe officials of the proposed
plan, and see ii they wished to arrange
for a similar batch with their own ad-
vertisement inserted, while the matter
was in type.
The meeting then adjourned.

tender reception to the orange carni-
val workers week from tonight.
