Niederer (president) occupied the chair. A motion of sympathy was passed with Miss Henderson (Provincial secretary) Mr Foster and the McCallum family in their recent bereavements. Mrs Johnston gave a very interesting and instructive demonstration on her spinning wheel of the different processes required to convert raw wool into the finished article and was voted a very hearty vote of thanks for same.
