THE FIESTA FUND.
Three-fourths of the mum Der OF original
guarantors for the fiesta met at the Stew
art last night to hear the report of the
finance committee as to the condition of
fiesta funds. The statement in general
was the same as published in yesterdays
Times Index, and indicates a deficit of
between $1,000 and $l7oo. The guarantors
we're: J. S. Purdy, H. T. Shirley. R. A.
buchanan, Max Erkss & Co., James Nc
Haney, r. McInerny, Harry Traville, E.
NJ. Hart, J. A. Cole, E. Vache e. Co..
G. F. Riley, l. r. Brunn, George Beam.
S. l. Tuthill. ]. L. Jonas, Peter Beam,
Mespelt q Oweger, Brazelton Bros. and
James Murray.
The total expenditures made by the
fiesta committee were about $4,000. When
the guarantee of $1,000 was made most of
those agreeing to become responsible
claim to have done so with the under
standing that this was to be the limit of
expenses, and they expressed themselves
rather strongly that SO much more ex
penses were incurred without referring
the matter to the committee.
The official call for the money has not
been made. and will not he until the full
report made at the Mercantile Associa-
ton.
Among the expenses. of course the
am phitheater was the largest item. 1t
cost about $1100, but something was
realized from the lumber sold yesterday
at auction. The barbecue also cost nearly
$1,000, of which more than $500 was
for meat. The Mexican band coost 5000,
the amount of their expenses. They re-
ceived nothing more. The Toreadors were
paid $780, and something tor expenses,
and it is not difficult to figure the total
amount of the expenses. The receipts a1s
reported to oe only $4,000.
