It was certainly getting rather late~ for that sort of thing. Mr Adair did , not suppose that it would matter much, as the ladies were always ready for a dance. Mr Brown understood that the ladies committee were willing to undertake the sole management if it was all left to them. They were anxious to keep down all expenses, and would do every thing in the shape of cooking and waiting, &c., and would only incur the expense of the hall and advertising. They undertook to do all the work if they got all the credit. Mr Nolan thought they should be allowed to have the whole thing all to themselves. He would make a motion to that effect. Mr Booth seconded, and the motion was carried. Annual Sports. After considerable discussion as to the advisability of holding the annual Hospital Sports, it was resolved to ad • journ the question until that day fortnight.
