Financial Statement.
| 1.-THE report Of the treasurer of the
meet, which is not yet quite complete
will be placed in the hands of your
treasurer for auditing as soon as it is
possible to get all of the bills and pay
| them. 1 learned from your treasurer
that the bank balance at the present
time shows $3.50 to the credit of the
meet, but by the treasurer of the meet
am told that the total expense of the
meet so far as he is able to forsee it,
will be something over $1400, and that
the receipts will amount to practically
$1,000; $101 and some cents is actually
the amount which he indicated. 1t is
possible, however. that there are some
small bills not yet passed in, and /
would not be willing to state today
that the actual deficit will be less than
$3.50. The expense of the meet was
considerably reduced by the kindness
Of Mr. Carey of the local Y. M. G. A,
who furnished lodging for nearly go

Unqualified Success.
with this amount of money which
it will be necessary for the CONNER
cial club to pay for the meet, I feel
that we are justified in pronouncing
the undertaking an unqualified sue
cess. From the standpoint of both
the college and the city a great deal
OF good has been done in the excel
lent impression produced upon the
young people who came here and in
the report which has been given in
the home school and town. Both be-
fore and after the meet there were
great writeups in all of the local pa
pers in these % cities with reference
to the coming meet, and the enjoy
ment and benefit derived from it. All
of this has constituted a desirable kind
of publicity which it would have been
hard for us to obtain in any other
way.
In closing this report 1 wish to es-
pecially to thank the committee from

was undertaken. This committe con-
sisted of DR.. F. w. Rees, Mr.. w. III.
