SO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.
Sib, —Reading your report of yesterday's proceedings of the Board of Governors, suggests to a disinterested mind that that body are rapidly approaching the state so well described in Bret Harte'a popular poem of the " Society on the Stanislaus-" One can almost picture to oneself the scene of an approaching meeting at the Museum between Mr Forbes and the Sab-Committee, at which not only words, but pre-hiatoric bones and books may " take a hand." It is to be hoped that the ludicrous side of the picture, that is as we the outside public ccc it, may lead to an early burying of the hatchet, and that the missing books and bones may be found, and doubtless they will, without recourse to legal missives or bony warfare.—'Yours, &c, A Hkathek Chines, Christcnurch, 3lat May, 1892.
