so increased in popularity that there would be no difficulty in securing 
a much larger number of pictures were there space to exhibit them, 
and a large number have now to be rejected on every occasion, simply 
for want of room. The way in which our townsmen appreciate the 
Gallery is shown by the increased numbers in which they visit it, and 
by the generous donations given from time to time. The Committee 
are very glad to know that the installation of the electric light is 
probably an event of the near future, and this will add much to the 
attractiveness and suitability of the Gallery to its purpose. They desire 
in closing to acknowledge the zealous and well-directed services of the 
Curator, to whom much of the success which attends the Art Gallery 
is due. 
On behalf of the Committee, 
WILLIAM BEMROSE, 
CHAIRMAN.
