A big public meeting in favour of women suffrage was held in ihe Wilson College Hall, Bombay, under the presidency of Mdy Tata, and a resolution calling on the Legislative Council to enfranchise the women of Bombay was passed and sent to every membe i of the' Legislative Council. We> rejoice in this second big victory for Indian women and confess to a "happily envious amazement at the wonderful speed with which (hey ‘put things through.’ ”
