All the News.

The regular BIZ weekly mestIng of the
members OF lie Cercle Jacques Cartier
took place last evening I'm their hall cor
ner Broad and Foundry streets. The
meeting was called TO order little after
8 O'Clock by President Joseph Lavoie.
Only routine business was transacted the
single exception being the report OF the
fair committee and its acceptance by the
members.
The date OF the fair was fixed for Sept.
Ia, to last four weeks, three nights per
week.
Il. Is. Ponton, who has occupied the
presidential chair OF lie Cercle Jacques
Cartier for five consecutive years, was
seen by TRIBUNE representative and
stated that he was really surprised last
night that the question of the proposed
union OF the two large French Societies
OF Central Falls had not come up for dis
cussion. He read the report of the ru-
mors atioat concerning this matter in the
TRIBUNE few days ago and was expect
ing to hear some written communication
TO that effect read by the corresponding
secretary last night.
He was just as glad IL did not come up,
however, as he thought the proiact un-
popular even II 1t were feasible.
Mr.. Ponton continued: ~ am a member
OF both the st. Jean Baptiste Society and
OF the Cercle Jacques Cartier and / am in
terested In the success OF both associations.
"rhere are about fifty OF her members of
lie Cerclo Jacques Carties who, like my
self, belong to the st. Jean Baptiste. AL
though the latter has been ia existence
twice as long as the former II has not
10 hn
building OF lie Cercle Jacques Cartier.
The secret OF this associations success lies
In the fact that while the st. Jean Bap-
tiste Society was spending large sums of
money In buying and fixing up splendid
chariot, badges, inscriptions and other
pharphernalia, the Cercle Jacques Car
tier was simply placing its funds
In place OF safety where they brought
fair interest. The leaders Of the st. Jean
Baptiste Society have always been-ex-
cepting one or two-in favor of snowy
and gaudy demonstrations, at whatever
cost, and have, I'm so doing, kept the
| finances OF the society very low when,
| with more prudence and less misplaced
pride, they would today be double those
of its rival sister.
"rhe first obstacle To the proposed
union IN my mind" concluded MIR.
Ponton, "is that the financial position of
the two societies is too different to per-
init fair bargain"
