Shirtcljffe,wwhso s is shortly leaving fo_Englaiid, was'also accepted, and Mr. V. Goldberg was elected to fill^his position as treasurer of the association.'

A suggestion was made that the Dunedin Exhibition authorities ,be written to, proposing that they should take space in the Winter Show with a view to ad vcrtising their own Exhibition, and this suggestion is to bo acted upon. It was urged that the date of holding the Show should be in August, in stead of in July, in order that it might coincide with the arrival in Wellington of the American fleet, when more visit ors would be attracted to the city. It was decided to seek the- approval of the Industrial. Association to such' a course.

The Red Cross Society (Peace Time Committee) is to be granted free space for a stall from which to distribute literature and enrol new members.
