Maier Cecil Taylor, the president of this body, presented the dance, which evoked quite an ovation. From the encomiums passed upon it there seems no doubt that the international

professors of dancing will include it in their courses, in which case it is likely to figure on the dance pro- grammes this winter. 'El Chucha" has the slow mazurka movement. It is pleasant combination of

2. Granting an unofficial majority of cne (subject to adequate safeguarda) by increasing the number of on- official members of Council from 6 to 9.

3.

This would embrace many Govern ment servants and members of the Imperial Forces in the Colony.
