A Premium on the Presidency.

Mr. B. Wylle made some strong criticisms of the annual ball. account of the St. Andrew's Society' at the annual meeting of members held in the City Hall yesterday afternoon, as the result of which the incoming Committee was asked to consider the question of doing away with practice dances and of generally effecting economy on the ball.

R..Black, Messrs. R. M. Dyer, J. B. Ross, D. Templeton, B. Wylie, A. Richie (Hon. Secretary) and W. J. Clerk (Hon Treasurer),

If I have failed in this respect, I hope it may be said that my fail- fngs were only those of omission.

The Year's Activities.

In concluding I would like just to The President, in proposing the adoption of the report and accounts, remind that in the times we are referred to the activities of last living at present in this Colony,
