TEXT OF THE SINN FEIN PROCLAMATION.

Mr. P. W. Goldring, in defence," said the men had all long service, and, if the truth were told, they were on the bust. He did not think there was tho slightest intention of stealing anything, and they were quite willing to pay for what they had taken. It was a drunken frolic, and it was most absurd to infermition distributed by the Sinn Feiners

The following is a copy of the Procla that they had any intention of stealing. throughout Dublin on Easter Monday :— The man had broken barracks, and were POBLACHT NA H EIREANN. liable to 14 days' imprisonment.

them from his own experience as a Direc tor that they could not expect to see the Y.M.C.A. doing its most useful work to its fullest extent until they found them selves in possession of a suitable building of their own. They must have a suitable building suitably equipped, and when they had got that building they would in due course obtain the services of a trained secretary who was accustomed to the running of institutions of the kind it was proposed to great. It was thur intention to have a rapid campaign for collecting the 870,000 necessary, and after that meeting was over they proposed to hand to the members of the Provisional Committee who were present envelopes: containing the names of certain companies and institutions, and also the names of certain firms and certain individuals, and they hoped that they would assist the Directors of the Association, in the rapid collection of the necessary funds. He hoped they would throw themselves orderly conduct, and bound them over in vigorously into the work. It was a quesa personal bond of $50 each. A fine of tion of striking while the iron was bot, 25 each was imposed. and the Sub-Committee felt that they could rely fully in the matter upon the exertions of the influential Committee which had been called together.

It was i mattor of vital importance, and they should endeavour to collect the remaining sum. The sunt they were aiming at w $140,000 and, as they knew, the two generous offers montioned accounted for $70,000, if the other moiety could be raised. He knew it had been said that the time was inopportune for eaking the public to give such a large sum as $70,000 He would like to remind them of a few reasons which weighed with the promoters of the scheme and forced them to the con- clusion that the present time was got in opportune; thut, on the contrary, it was now or never. In the first place, the offer of $70,000. was open to them, and chould it be said that that wealthy community with that said offer open to it, would not supply the other moiety. In the second place, the need for that Junior Club, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A was obvious. He did not think that any man who was acquainted with the social con ditions in Hongkong could deny that for one moment. If any argument in favour of it were needed, then all he had to say was that before the outbreak of war they had 170 members using the rooms at the top of Alexandra Buildings; 170 members who were not in a position, financially, to stand the heavy subscriptions of the Hongkong Club; 170 members who had no other place to go to after their day's work The Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK said it bad Was over for ordinary recreation and self been suggested both publicly and private improvement.
