but it was sufficient to spoil the sport

within the last few days and some
large crowds of them have enjoyed the
sport 1t is perfectly safe, as there are
several inches on all the places but

There are also some good games of

be enjoying every minute.

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
WILL HOLD MEETING
No One Seems 10 Want Position of
Chairman of Body Selected
10 Act on ROndS
TO Act on Bonds.

BERKELEY, Dec. 2O.-The Citi-
liens Committee appointed by Thomas
Rickard, president Of the Board of
Trustees, to prepare the items for the
proposed bond issue calling for the
expenditure Of about S250,00O for i'm
provements for the town, viii hold
its first meeting tomorrow evening
at s o'clock in the Town Hall. There
are forty members Of the committee
and all these have promised President
Rickard to serve with the committee.
AS yet there is no one picked out
to be chairman of the committee.
President Rickard has approached
number Of gentlemen on the commit
tee on the subject, but so far there
seems to be none who wishes to as
sumo the responsibility the position
will entail. It is certain that the
chairman will be burdened with con-
siderable work. and business men,
with their own private duties to per-
form, do not care 10 burden them
selves more, and so they are begging
70 be excused.
IT will be the important duty of the
chairman to appoint the committees
that will investigate the various items
for which bonds are proposed and re-
port upon them to the Board of Trus-
tees. In order to appoint suitable
committees, 1t will be necessary TO get
a chairman not only acquainted with
the needs OF the town, but also with
the men who. in his judgment, will
be best able to cope with the subject
under investigation.
