There were 22 members present.

Bishop of Guiana. 
Mr. Jacob Conrad brought forward his motion, of 
which due notice had been given, for the appointment 
of a Committee to arrange for a public reception of Mr, 
Quelch on his return from Chicago. 
Mr. Conrad said he brought the motion that the 
Society might have an opportunity of honouring Mr. 
Quelch and showing their appreciation. of his services at 
the Columbian Exposition. Looking at the discomforts 
involved in such a change as that from the tropics to an 
extremely cold climate like that of Chicago, and the 
arduous duties of his position when he arrived, they 
could not but agree that Mr. Quelch deserved some 
recognition. He considered that the colony could not 
have been better represented, and was sure that every- 
one would agree with him that he had made a big show 
with little. 
Mr. AEneas D, Mackay seconded the motion, and the 
Hon. A. Weber supported it, saying that he had heard 
from some of his American friends that Mr. Quelch was 
one of the most popular of the Commissioners, and was 
looked upon as a great authority on all matters. 
The motion was carried unanimously, the President 
saying that as Mr. Quelch was expected in a week or 
two, the Committee would have an early meeting.
