THE APPEAL FOR £2OOO. The appeal which the Y.M.C.A. Building Fund Committee is making- to the public for .a final £2OOO had a ready response yesterday, when the various committees opened the canvass.

No absolute refusals have so far been met with, and everything points to the attainment of the committee’s objective.
