In Asking His Excellency to opent the new wing, the President of the Association, Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, gave a description of the additions, and forecast that seon Auther wing would balance the recently completed section.

Mr. Shenton said:

It is such a short time--nine months, to be exact since I laid the foundation stone of this new wing, that I feel there is little that 1 can usefully add to what I said on that occasion. Mr. Shenton then gave us a very full history of this branch of the Association, and by has today given us a full resources of this account of the new building. My remarka there- fore will be very brief, more especially us there are more attrac- tive entertainments in store for us.
