The large amount of gratis work, the sacrifice of time and lersonal business interests makes a directorship of the Round-up a posi tion far from being easy. Several of the directors feel that they have serv ed as long as they can and It Is prob nblc that eome will refuse to accept another nomination. Regardless of their action, however, there will be at feact one position to fill. The death of Mark Moorhouse left a vacancy on the board that was filled only by the dividing of his duties among several ethers. A full report of the attendance, re- I celpts, disbursements and other facts relative to the 1914 exhibition will be made at the meeting tomorrow even ing. Following the practice of the past each director will submit a re port showing in detail the expenses of his particular department.
