It is <i very nice piece of: work and reflects great' credit, on the maker, Mr. F. J. Brabant, and Mr. Patten, who painted it. The Society appreciates the work that these gentlemen have done free of cost, and are also indebted to Mr. Pijzcy, who kindly made the belt. The Society is proceeding to erect a suitable shed to accommodate the reel, and will thus expend the balance of money remaining in hand after providing the reel.
