McNeill, Registrar of Queen's University, speaking at the meeting of the Kiwanis Club in the Hotel Frontenac, Monday noon, made a splendid appeal to the mem- bers to assist in Queen's Endow- ment campaign for $2,500,000, which is being carried on, stating that the university 'must have the money if the work of the college is to be successfully continued. The speaker stated that no uni- meets the eXpenses. He said that Queen's had their first endowment campaign in 1839 when £11,000 was raised, the city of Kingston giving £1,100 of this amount. Since then PROMPTLY FILLED. Branigan's 268 Princess Street 3 STORE LIMITED Phone 18 several campaign have been held, the lemt one being seven years ago when $1,000,000 was raised. Dr. MeNeill stated that at present the university has an endowment of about two millfon dollars, of which the {interest {s° $100,000. This amount, he said, only goes to pay about one-third of the expenses of the college. He said that Varsity is spending more every year than Queen's total endowment, while in the United States the big universities are starting campaigns for great sums.

In two years $70,000 in Western mortgages '| has been turned back, the university losing the eight per cent. interest on them. About $80,000 was given to the women's building, and the same amount towards the heating plant. Then 'too, the students' fees have been falling off, and only go towards paying about one-third of the ex- penses." Dr.' McNelll gave figures to show how the cost of upkeep at the col- lege has been jumping yéar after year. In the matter of the upkeep of the grounds alone, there has been an increase from $900 in 1919 to $2,400 this year. The university owns considerable land on which there are no college buildings, and on this the college pays taxes, which amount to $5,600 this year as com- pared with $1,600 seven years » 0. "Queen's Unfversity," said Dr. MeNeill, "is Kingston's biggest in- dustry. It spends its revenue of $500,000 here, and it can be esti- mated that the students leave about that much money in a year in the city also, thus meaning that the college is worth at least $1,000,000 a year to the city." Dr. McNeill stated that there are many boys and girls in the city who would not get university education were it not for the fact that Queen's is located in Kingston. He referred to the fact that Queen's is national, stating that 225 studénts are at the University from the Western prov- inces, and over a hundred from the Eastern provinces. In conclusion he outlined the work being done towards perfecting the organization of the campaign. Mr. Stalford has been secured as direo- tor of the campaign on a straight salary, and is already drranging mat- ters in the Chicago district. There will be six divisions, divided into 33 sub-divisions. The Kingston division included the territory from Peter. boro to Cornwall, and will be the last district to be canvassed.

The question of turning the Fair Grounds. into an Amusement Park was again discussed at a: meéting of the-Civie Property Committee, held on Monday afternoon. A letter was received fram R. J. Bushell, secretary and . manager of the Kingston Industrial Fair Asso- ciation,sin which he stated that the fair directors had," on his recom- | mendation, offered to pay $1,000 {per annum for , the use of the | grounds for the holding of the fair, | provided the association was given a five-year lease and the grounds are {put in fit eondition for the opening day. Mr. Bushell pointed out that {the receipts for the fair never ex- | ceeded $10,000, and that the associa- {tion would be willing to give the city ten per cent. of the gate receipts or five cents on each ticket sold for fifty cents. Mr. B. Noble Steacy, representing Kingston's team in the Central On- tario Baseball League, and Mr. James Kane, repregenting . the St. Lawrence League, re present and discussed the question of baseball games with the committee. The Kingston Driving Club was not re- presented at the meeting, but Chair-| man Ald. J. BE. Johnston reported that he had been informed that the club' would be willing to enter into any scheme that would be reasonable | regarding 'the paying for the fair grounds for their meets. The mem- bers of the committee agreed that they should have something definite from the club in writing, as the club was not répresented at 'the meeting.- The members felt, however, that if the city secured five cents on évery ticket sold by the Driving Club, this would be agreeable, stood that the committee desired ten per cent. of thewreceipts of the C.O. B.L. team. If the club paid this amount he wanted to know if the city would build a substantial fence around the fair grounds, and also provide better accommodation in the way of grand-stands. The club could not afford to pay ten per cent. 'without a proper fence, and he point- ed oyt that about twenty'five per cent. of those dttending the games INTO AMUSEMENT PARK Mr. Steacy stated that he under-- t THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG SHAW"S DAILY STORE NEWS Beautiful Draperies That are Pleasingly Different THE NEWEST IN CURTAINS "Including beautiful panels in Silk and .

EARLY SPRING HATS, at the right price came in over the fence without pay- ing. Large crowds had attended games, but the directors had been sadly disappointed when the receipts were totalled, If the club paid $1,000 per annum, they would want a lease of the grounds for, five years. It was very important that more grand-stand accommodation be provided, as the fans objected to paying fifty cents admission and an- other twenty-five cents for the grand- stand, as last your. "He stated that the club. would have undertaken the building of a grand-stand last year, but that the matter had been taken out of their hands. Last year the club had realized $8000 and the year before $12,000° If the club paid the city $1,000 per year, and the city could stop the leak, by erecting a substantial fence, 'he felt that this would work out all right. Ald, Reid said he felt that five cents on each ticket sold would be suitable to the city, He understood the Driving Club would be agree- able to such an arrangement as this. Mr. Steacy was very anxious to know the position the C,0.B.L. team would be in, provided the ratepayers voted down a by-law to expend money to turn the fair grounds into an amusement park. After New Grounds. Mr, Steacy also intimated that the club was at the present time angling for new baseball grounds. The members of the committee engaged in a general discussion, and it was their opinion that the city should secure ah estimate of the re- venue to be derived from the fair unds Before a bylaw was put to the people. = Mr, Steacy stated that the work | ©. Scott, of Syracuse, Parisian Shop 822 BROCK STREET DE secured by the locomotive works would mean a big boost to baseball. Last year there had been a falling off of 'about 33 1-3 per cent. Ald. Reid "sald the committee should go on record as being in fav- or of the baseball club and the Driv- ing Club submitting in writing to the committee, just what they were wili- ing to pay the city for the grounds. This should be.taken as a basis, and then everyone should get back of the scheme and put it through. If the 'tity was assured of $4,000 per year in revenue, he felt that there would be no danger of the bylaw being de- feated. Mr, Kane sald the St. Lawrence League would have to play In an en- closed field and that there would be one game a week. He felt that the charge to the ball clubs should be fixed at so much per head that is so much on each ticket sold. Mr. .Steacy contended that base- ball was the big sourge of revepue. In the big league there would be three games per week, and he felt that the baseball clubs should be 'given every consideration. He stated further, that he would call a meet- ing of the executive of the big league, and get their decision in writing for the committed. Ald. Anderson favored taking up Mr. Steacy's suggestion for more grandstand accommodation. After some further discussion, the committee decided in favor of asking the clubs for ten per cent of their gross receipts, The committee also spent some time considering their estimates for the budget, and these will be brought down in time for the consideration of {the finance committee. The chairman, Ald. J. E. John- ston, presided at the meeting and others present were Mayor Angrove, Alds. Allan, Anderson, Bennett, Reid and Dunphy. FORMER KINGSTONIAN DEAD.

If a recommendation of the City Property Committee is passed by the City Couhcil, ahd there is every rea- son to believe that jt will go through without objection, two very valuable paintings in Memorial Hall will re- ceive some much-needed attention, The paintings in question are those of Sir John A.

The portraits of these | |i two distinguished men are sadly in | need of retouching--in fact it is stat- | Ji ed that if they sre not given' atten-'| | tion soon, they will be ruined. The || matter was taken up by the Proper- Hi ty Committee last year, but, owing | ff to shortage of funds, no money was |i voted for tlie work, but it is felt by (ji the committee this year, that the |= work must be-undertaken in order to! keep up the city's much-prized col- |} lection of portraits of famous men, in its Hall of Fame. | M. J. L. Rawbon of Toronto, a cele- |i brated. artist, has made an offer to || do the work, and his offer is regard- ed as a most reasonable one. The two portraits are in such a condi- tion as to require special attention, and it will mean a delicate piece of work. Mr. Rawbon will retouch the portrait of Sir John A. Macdonald for the sum of $250 and that of Hon. Hr. Hagerman for $300, a total ex- penditure of $550. The portrait of Sir John was painted in 1863, | The Property Committee will place this amount in their estimates for the work, and are hoping that Hon. James Lyons.
