R. R. AOStAtla. Eorroa TaiBCKr u-Tho managors of the Free Feeding Boom, feel grateful to the XiiuujrB, and to the whole Daily 'Press of Oakland, for the nrxintermitting kindness they have shown that Institution in publishing then course of lectures and advertising their entertainments generally, almost entirely without chargn. to the Association.

By their liberality towards the managers, they have largely aided them in susUining that beneficent institution. And while many others have boon generous also, they desire the pub-lie to know how much they have been assisted ia then work, and that so willingly by the Daily Press. The public have of ten boon informed that the running expenses of the institution, amounting to about $140 per month, have to be met entirely by voluntary contributions and subscribtiona. Those have to bo collected monthly in small auma, one dollar subscriptions usually, with now and then a more trenorono contributor aiibooribing three or five dollars per month. Those ospenaea do not include iraa, which is eenoromsly contributed by the Oakland Gaslight Company, froo.

Nor does include coal, which wo get donated by onr liberal coal dealer. Now Messrs, Editor, the managers desiring i to keep their faith perfectly with the public, have made arrangements with John P. Morgan to give the clewing entertainment of the eonrssnext Saturday evening, February 23d, in the Congregational Church. It will consist of a fine musical entertainment and concert, wherein some new and novel features will bo introduced. The holders of season tickets as per contract, will be admitted without charge.

But the managers would very much regret to draw out of their profits from the course of popular lectures, which all must admit have been given to the people at an unpreoedently low price, to pay the expenses of that concert. They desire to give a good concert every way worthy to conclude the course, and although Professor Morgan contributes bis services to the Society, yet there are unavoidable expenses, and so they ask the public and every holder of season tickets, to bring at least one purchaser for a concert ticket, which wiJ cost fifty cents. By so doing they will have made the whole course reasonably remunerative pecuniarily, besides helping to sustain such a popular course of lectures in Oakland. J. IU 1'OKtEB.
