Meetings of the Y. M. C. A. building
committee and board Of directors were
held last evening in the Y; M. G. A..
parlors on Chapel street, the one meet
ing Immediately following the other,
both meetings being held to discuss
progress in raising the building fund.
1t was announced that Mrs. Hoadley B.
Ives had just pledged $4,000 for the
library in the new building, $3.50 a year
during her life to keep up the library
and the income of $1,000 after her death
to maintain the library. Mrs. Ives has
been abroad for two years and has re-
Gently returned. In addition to her
gifts noted above she has just paid the
expense of building a fine bath house
in connection with the Y. M. G. A. out
ing club house at Morris Cove. She
promised to pay the expense of building
the bath house if the boys of the Y. M.
C. A. would do the work Accordingly,
William r. Frisbie, who has charge of
the club house, took charge of the work
of building the bath house and with the
assistance of the boys the house was
soon completed
1t was also announced last night that
sS9, 900 more for the building fund must
be raised by September | to bind the
pledge of Edward Bancroft Foote for
S25, 900 to- buy the polo rink adjoining
the new Y. M. c. A. building in the
rear. This pledge was conditioned on
the Y. M. C. A. raising $75,00G by Sep
tember 1, and Of this $4,000 S3s,0oo mas
already been raised, leaving the $5s'ooo
vet needed to bind the gift. Ii .hie
amount is raised by September l the
S95. 900 gift will be secured Otherwise
the 1000 must be raised later anyway
to make up the total amount for the
new building, $25O,O00 but the $4,000
Gift will be lost If the $4,000 Is not
raised by September l. In view or
these facts it is hoped that friends OF
the association will come forward IN
time. The $25, 900 conditional pledge by
Mr.. Foote Is to purchase the polo rink,
and in case the pledge Is finally bound
II ;s the intention of the Y. M. g. A.
MANAGEMENT to convert the rink into
gymnasium and place for industrial in
struction of newsboys and working
bovs. The pledge is therefore entirely
distinct from the building fund.
The directors have decided to make
general appeal to all the people of New
Haven, because they desire every one
to give something towards the new
building and it's equipment. 1t Is hopeo
that the association can move into the
new building by January l. next II the
$39 900 is raised
To-day fifteen Of the foreign dele
gates who attended the Y. M. Z. a.
i,,bilee convention in Boston will be in

citation work. They will arrive here at
