Mr G. Clark, Secretary slated that the Brass Band consisted of four brass instruments, big drum and two side drums, and that there was LlO Is. 3d. cadi in hand.

Mr Hastie, one of the members of the band, rose and said, that without a leader the Band was disorganised, and the members thought it better to disband, dispose of the instruments, and either divide the proceeds, together with the cash balance in band among the members of the Band, or give it as a donation to the Hospital. The meeting, as one voice, protested against any such proceeding. After discussion the following wore elected MembersnfCommittee—Messrs G Fache, A. D. Harvey, A- R. Mackay, J. Wehk, and Geo.
