The Finance Committee of the Pa- triotic Fund met on Tuesday after noon in thé Board of Trade Rooms and made a careful examinatiod. of the accounts. The treasurer 'was present and announced of the total sum subscribed $35,000 had been transmitted to the general treasurer in Otjawa and there are $3,000 on hand.
