circular letter 10 the members Of the

things, the following:
while a large outlay will have 10 be
made in furnishing the assembly room
with chairs and other furniture in keep
ing with its handsome appearance and
finish, though the times are not prOpi-
tious for mourning any unnecessary eX-
pense, the board Of directors feel that
some ceremonies and programme Of en-
tertainment are almost demanded on the
occasion Of occupying the Chambers per-
manent home, an undertaking cOntem-
plated from the time Of its charter, but
just accomplished.
unfortunately the state Of our treas
ury, taking into consideration the out
lays above mentioned. and the large num-
Der OF members i'm arrears on their dues.
renders It impossible % have the OPEN
ing ceremonies unless members VIII bear
a portion OF the expenses.
The time for the opening OF the Chamber
is the 2Sth instant at $50 y. NJ. Owing
10 the public character Of the building
and the large crowd. II has been deemed
advisable 10 issue tickets for the oc-
casion. 10 be presented at the door. The
building will be inspected by the visi-
tors from $50 10 GEO T.. NJ, while the
opening ceremonies will take place from
G:30 to =. NJ. The banquet Will take
