The central committee held a most
enthusiastic meeting at the Windsor
yesterday. One reason for the good
feeling prevailing throughout the meet
ing was the fact that entertainment
has been secured for probably all but
twenty-five delegates, and there are
places still to hear from. Another
feature of the meeting was the state
of the finances. Mrs. Stella B. Irvine
made her report as chairman on
finance.
The Catholic societies donated $40
yesterday toward the work After bills
up to date had been settled Mrs Irvine
reported $339.70 still available. Some
extra bills were reported later and
Mrs. Irvine was instructed to pay the
same.

ventions she had found little or moth
ing to do. She congratulated the COM
