14 
seasons. The Committee are glad to take this opportunity of thanking 
very heartily all those who assist in these pleasant entertainments, 
which have done so much to popularise the Gallery. 
The Electric Light continues to give satisfaction, and is not 
more expensive than was expected. Its cost during the past year has 
been £34 Ios. against £36 last year, and about £8 more than the last 
eas bill. On the other hand the Gallery is much better lighted, and 
the painting and decoration of the building show little or no signs of 
deterioration, and will last at least twice as long as it has done 
previously. 
The Committee are glad to report that more use has been made 
of the Gallery by students, for copying purposes, during the past year 
than at any time during its existence, and they hope that the useful- 
ness of the Gallery will go on increasing. They desire once more to 
acknowledge the valuable services of the Curator, to whose zeal and 
assiduity in the discharge of his duties much of the success of the Art 
Gallery is due. 
On behalf of the Committee, 
WILLIAM BEMROSE, 
CHAIRMAN.
