Robinson, “Motor House”; A. D. Reese, “Boat House”; G. Penlington, “Carriage Gates”; W. A. P. Clarkson, “Alterations to Cottage.” A fine response has been made to all these competitions by the members, and the adjudicators have expressed pleasure at the quality of the work and the progress made. Aesthetic design, neat draughtmanship, and sound construction have been the point which the assessors have laid great stress upon.

Shortly after the Session commenced Mr. H. G. Helm ore was appointed A.D.C. to His Excellency the Governor and consequently had to resign his position. Mr. G. W. Haines was elected to the committee in his place. During September Mr. G. Checkley left for the front, and during his absence Mr. W. M. Lawry has been appointed Hon. Secretary. The Librarian wishes to take this opportunity to thank Messrs. S. Hurst Seager, R. Herdman Smith, and A. D. Reese for contributions to the library, also Mr. W. F. Robinson for a magazine. The committee gratefully acknowledge the support and interest shown by several members of the Institute, who have done much to make the meetings successful and instructive.
