 Finish Team Work Tuesday.
 The committee of 100 having been
 formed for a ten days campaign, this
 will end on Tuesday, by which time the team work will be closed up, and it is , desired that the entire sum be raised
 within that period. This will mean
 trifie over S20,000 in four days. It re-
 mains to be seen whether this can be
 done. If all is not raised by that time there remain nine days thereafter in
 which the first committee or another
 can raise the remainder.
