The above resolution of the Committee is etidontly a concession to the views of the supporters of the new Horticultural Society, and, having granted so much, it is to be hoped that ths Committee may yet give way on the remaining point of dispute, and admit the co-operation of those well-fitted to be its teachers.—l am, etc., A Mbmbxr. Dunedin, June 80.
