the two weeks of the show. The financial result was a net 

 profit to the Society of $207.98. Incidentally, the exhi- 

 bition attracted the attention of thousands of people, 

 nearly all of whom were more or less interested in the 

 movement to preserve the Buffalo, and assisted in the dis- 

 tribution of circulars setting forth the Society's purposes 

 and appealing to the American public to aid in the work 

 of preserving the Buffalo from extinction. 



The Executive Committee was authorized to raise a 

 special fund with wdiich to purchase Buffaloes or to pro- 

 cure Buffaloes by other means, if possible, to be placed on 

 any state or government lands, provided the maintenance 

 of the animals is assured by state or nation.
