Several analogies for non-attendance were received from prominent citizens. Tim Mayor, in the course of his introductory remarks, said the Brigade had £7O in hand from last year, but he suggested that great care should be taken that the expenses this year were not excessive. He personally would do all he could to help the Brigade, but regretted that owing to the pressure of Borough business he would be unable to fill the position of chairman of committees.

Tu the arrangement of details, the meeting decided to approach the A. and P. Society with regard to the use of the Show Grounds. As to the date on which the carnival was to be held, Mr G. K.
