MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY COMMITTEE. 



"Report for tbe J£ear enotns Sept 30tb, 1913. 



DURING the year the Museum Committee has experienced 

 a heavy loss in the deaths of the Vice-Chairman, 

 Alderman C. Newth, and Councillor T. Cleverdon. 

 The former had served continuously upon the Committee 

 since its formation in 1894. His wide practical knowledge 

 was always at the disposal of his colleagues, and his interest 

 in the Museum and Art Gallery is shown by many improve- 

 ments which he suggested. Mr. Cleverdon was a quiet, but 

 none the less useful member, whom his colleagues will 

 always remember with affection. 



The Committee were fortunate in securing the modelled 

 study of the bronze tablet by Ernest Fabian, Sculptor, which 

 Bristol citizens presented to the citizens of Halifax, Nova 

 Scotia, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cabot's discovery 

 of Newfoundland. This model has now been placed upon the 

 wall of the Central Hall, where it serves as a reminder of the 

 enterprise and daring of the old Bristol navigators.
