The chairman, Mr D. N. Edwards, presided. The chairman congratulated Mr Clemas and his committee on the results in the Art Section. The amount of work and the interest they had taken were really splendid, and their attention and courtesy to the public was very much appreciated, lie moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Clemas and his committee, which was carried by acclamation.
