REPORT. 



In presenting this report your Committee regret that, owing 

 to the influenza epidemic and other causes, the attendance at the 

 Sectional Meetings have not been quite so numerous as in past 

 years. 



There has been three ordinary meetings and three lanterns 

 nights; the attendance at the latter has been most satisfatory. 



There have been two Competitions during the session, one 

 for Lantern Slides, in which there were seven entries with 1 6 sets 

 of slides sent in, the other for Pinnts, in which there were three 

 competitors and 23 prints sent in.
