Y.M.C.A.
Record Collections. Dunedin. September 13. The campaign having for its object the raising of ,£17,000 in fourteen days for the Y.M.C.A. building concluded to-night. The promoters did not succeed in accomplishing their object, but at the same time the canvass has been remarkably successful, more than ,£15,000 having been secured. The organisers state that Dunedin has easily established a record for giving in the southern hemisphere, and the results have more than fulfilled expectations. The previous record was held by Wellington, where ,£10,600 was donated in twenty-one days. One team of young men, comprising ten members, collected £1126, which is a record for young men's work. Messrs Lyman Pierce and Gillanders, who organised and conducted >the campaign, leave for Christchurch to-morrow, where a similar campaign is to be instituted.
