Jameson presided over a crowded attendance of .members and friends. Sir. Brown delivered a particularly interesting and instructive lecture, entitled "Shreds and Patches." He showed clearly how the writings of Shakespeare had left an indelible impression on our language, and how numberless quotations from his works were on everyone's lips. Tho lecturer told some amusing stories of the experiences of amateur Shakespeareans iu Wellington in the early days.'
