CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the 'Evening Mail.'
Sir, — I was surprised on visiting the Institute to find Mr Acton Adams ?>r rearing on t he list of nominations as an opponent of Dr Irvine for the office of President. Of course any member has a perfect right to propose any other member who is qualified in accordance with the rules to hold the office, so that it ia not to be wondered at if out of so many there should bo found one or two who would prefer Mr Adams to Dr Irvine, but that Mr Adams, who has never taken any active interest whatever in the Institute, should allow himself to be brought forward in opposition to a gentleman who has worked for years on the Committee, and in various other ways in the general management, and who, as his opponent must well know, is in every way far better fitted for the post than himself — that Mr Adams should permit himself to be placed in this position is to me passing strange, and, if I may be permitted to say so, an indication of a great lack of good taste on the part of him who is suiferiog himself to be made a tool of. Yours, &c, Bookwobm.
