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 thi> 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.
