The meeting, which was well attended, 'was presided over by Mr* D. Clark, senr.

Tho committee reported that Victoria Hall had been temporarily secured for the meetings of the society. It was reported that already ninety-seven niembers were on the roll, and it was intended .to make the society a largo one, and no efforts would be spared to secure more members.
