Before closing I would suggest, mittea consider dividing activities of the Society into two distinct parts-Concert and Opera- the-and that they elect two sal committees to take charge each of these separate activities, and to retain the original m milter as an executive committee to whom the sub-committees would report as occasion arose..

I feel ure, that, in spite of the failure this year to put on Concert, there is a definite want in the Colony for the purely Choral and or Chamber music side of the Society.
