Mrs. Smith, of the Matawai institute, gave a very interesting demonstration of glove making, which was greatly appreciated, Mrs. Cumming moving a vote of thanks to her for the efficient manner in which she carried this out. The motion was carried. Birthday greetings wero also accorded the demonstrator, who suitably responded. In tho competition, “Essay on our Institute,” the scarcity of entries was more than counterbalanced 1 by tho quality of the work submitted, the successful entrants being: Miss E. Grey, 1; Mrs. T. B. Jones, 2; Mrs. A. Barron, 3. The roll call, “The household task I most dislike,” was well responded to, only one fine being collected.
