-AT OUR JANUARY MEETING.
 Alex Colley.
-It was nearly 9 p m. when the President, with hardly time to draw breath after the Committee meeting, which had to be held on the same evening, summoned us to the General Meeting. It was not surprising, in view of the pressure of business, that the meeting commenced somewhat irregularly with a dong on the Assistant Secretary instead of the gong, and the admission of two members with defective Constitutions. The members were Margaret McLeod and John Holly, 'and the trouble with their Constitutions was that they were out of dPte, a matter which would be
-rectified by the Secretary.
