SAVAGE, Curzon Park, to the Museum Management 
Committee. ‘ 
The Collection comprised Sketches made at Gibraltar, Corfu, 
Dover, and many other places noted amongst Artists, and 
covered a period of some forty years from 1840. 
The attendance at these Meetings continues to improve, 
and has been, with only two or three exceptions, vety 
satisfactory. A glance at the list will shew the great 
variety of subjects dealt with, and the high level which has 
been maintained in the Lectures and Papers. The Com-

Junior Prizes was the best so far recorded. 
The Exhibition of Wild Flowers, named and classified, 
is very attractive, and has been well contributed to and 
inspected.

attract observers. In these, and many other ways, the 
work done in the past by the pioneers of the Society is

occasion of his marriage, of a valuable Silver Tray and 
Flower Stand, by the Officers and Members of the Society. 
It is with very great regret that the Committee hear of 
the resignation by Mr. Fish, in consequence of his removal
