Mr. Pfeiffer Speaks.
While the figures were being tot
allied today an address was made by
John Pfeiffer. He said:
"Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the
Executive Committee, Ladies and
my fellow workers:
Il am sure in standing here to-
day before you in this moment it
need not be said that l am presump-
tuous when. as the captain Of one
of the teams, ! want to speak q few
words Of thanks and kindness to
our teammates.
"The honors all go to the cap
tains, and well that they should,
but it i'll becomes us captains not to
give our teammates all praise and
thanks.
'The Y. M. C. A. of Perth Amboy
I am sure can feel more than proud
of the body of men banded together
here and the grand work they are
doing at the present time. 1t is GER
tainly a matter of pride to Perth
Amboy-this feeling about Y. M.
c. A. as exemplified and shown here
daily by the reports and money and
subscriptions, and l am really
amazed by the work which Is being
done.
II didn't know there was so much
money flying around loose here in
town, l thought 1t was all tied up in
the banks, but when we go to ap-
peal to a man the response Is I'M
mediate.
"The man who gives 81 is as
much interested at heart as the man
that gives $1,000.
Il have said to my team l like to
see more Of the smaller subscrlp-
tions; the big ones are all right,
but the ones who give 81 and s5
and 81 are the ones who will be
the main support Of the Y. M. G. A.
and those are the ones we want"
When the totals had been an
nounced Judge Lyon said:
when we started with the idea
OF raising $4,000 we were sure
we could do it, and fairly before we
had started the feeling of the peo-
pie was 30 favorable that we decid-
ed to raise our original figures to
$35, 900, and at the very last mo-
ment 1t was 50 voted to increase the
amount. And here we are on the
third day of the campaign, with
three and one-half working days
only gone, with almost the full
amount subscribed which we had

Regarding the Builders.
The executive committe gave out
the following announcement today
in regard to the resolutions passed
recently by the Master Builders
Association:
1--WE have carefully read the
resolutions recently passed by the
Master Builders Association of this
city, in which they decide to with
hold assistance and subscriptions to-
ward the fund for the erection Of a
Y. M. G.. A. building unless certain
conditions as to architects, builders,
and estimates are complied with,
and unless assurances are given to
that effect by the parties RESPONSE
BILE for the erection of said Y. NJ. G.
A. building.
I'm reply the Campaign Execu-
tive Committee would state that it
is not within their power to direct
the policy of such building commit
tee as shall be appointed at later
date, the function of the Campaign
Executive Committee being limited
to the raising of funds.
They believe, however. that the
recommendations of the Master
