Uuoticially the different members
Of the board expressed themselves more
togci0ly than the sentiment contained
in the above resolutions. They asserted
that the entertainment originated with
Mr.. kingSbury. who came before them
and suggested the idea with the stipu.
latiou that be should retain ;or his own
benefit whatever funds which would
accrue from the advertising. This
is shown in the minutes Of the
previous meeting IS read last night
by the secretary. Aside from
the net amount turned in by
the ladies committee, there is q further
sum resulting from the entertainment
10 Mr. hingsbury'S hands. The bOlri
knows what he is entitled to for his ex-
peusss, and what remains includes his
own advertising profits. This remlin-
iug sum ia considerably less than tho
board expected Mg Kinssbury to re-
tain as his pay and profit
