The executive board of the league, con-
sisting of Mrs. w. w. Gordon, president
Mr.. F. A. d. Hancock, secretary and
treasurer, Mrs. EdW ard Karow, Mrs. VIII
liam Garrard, Capt. II. G. Cunningham,
Capt o. NJ Carter, and Mr.. J. NJ. Bar
nara, Jr., held a meeting at the residence
OF Mrs. Gordon last night for the purpose
OF perfecting arrangements for beginning
the work. II was decided to hold another
meeting Saturday night on Mr.. Bradleys
arrival, and consult with him with regard
to IL, so that il can be taken uD at once
the first of the week.
There is now no doubt that the league
will secure the necessary funds for the
purpose i'm hand. A letter has been receiV-
ed from Director Carl l.. Brandt of the Tel
fair academy indorsing the plan, and stat
ing that he would send a check for what
ever amount the board of managers au-
thorized, referring OF course to the money
collected by the Telfair Literary and Art
Union, which is now deposited in the bank
to his credit.
This letter was written before the reso-
luton requesting him to send a check
for the $500 passed al the annual meeting
of the Georgia Historical Society reached
him, 50 IL is presumed, without doubt,
that he WILL on receipt of that reso-
luton, forward the check without delay.
The other 500 has already been subscribed
and the financial part of the work has,
therefore, been practically completed.
With so able an instructor and members
and students who are deeply interested in
the work before them, there is no doubt
that the efforts of the league will meet
with abundant success. 1t has been or
ganized for the benefit Of all of the artis-
tic talent that Savannah has, and il is
hoped that those who have talent that
can be developed will take advantage of
