seasons. The Committee are glad to take this opportunity of thanking 

 very heartily all those who assist in these pleasant entertainments, 

 which have clone so much to popularise the Galler)-. 



The Electric Light continues to give satisfaction, and is not 

 more expensive than was expected. Its cost during the past year has 

 been £34 10s. against £36 last year, and about £8 more than the last 

 gas 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.
