Replies re tbe suggested demonstration in aid of the Hospital funds by the Friendly Societies were received from the Loyal Waikato and Charles Bruce Lodges of Oddfellows, and the Prince of Wales Lodge, P.A.F.S.; the first declined to have anything to do with a demonstration so long as Dr Payne was Hospital Surgeon ; the second excused itself on the ground of the small number of members ; and the third simply declined the proposal. —After some desultory conversation the matter dropped.
