A Review of the Year, Reviewing the activities of the Ladies Section during the past year, Mr. REED said they would like to thank the out going committee for the hard work they had put in hey had been, splendid, Mrs. Lang, their hard-working secretary, left them in September, after doing yeoman service for the Ladies' Section, but Mrs. Murdoch and Mrs. Dodwell most gallantly, and successfully stepped into the breach, and she (Mrs. Reed) would bike to put on record her appreciation of the services of these three ladies.
She thought the past season had been quite a successful one. New features were the one-day competitions, beld at Fanling during the winter months, when they had as many as 30 to 40 members taking part; and every one seemed to enjoy them.
They started off in October with a medal round, and-in November held most amusing competition, a 5 club ore, in which, contrary to the fears of the men, they did not spoil the greens or ruin the tees. (Laughter.)

In conclusion, Mrs. Reed wished the new Captain and Committee the very best of luck.

His Lordship' expressed doubt as to the sufficiency of proof in the petition, o inability of the -Bank to pay, if this section was applied
Mr. Sheldon said that three things were alleged, vit.. that the Bank had ceased to carry on business; that if any had been done that it was for the pur- pose of winding up, and that finally, the Bank was unable to pay its debts. The Bank had closed its doors on Septem- 7th, and had not since opened them for business. A notice had been exhibited stating that the Bank was going into voluntary liquidation,
