Report of Society's Meetings. 371 



as an Honorary Member, and that the nomination would 

 be brought up at the next General Meeting. 



The Secretary read a Report from the Committee of 

 Correspondence, stating first, that the proposed Exhibi- 

 tion at Buxton had been abandoned owing to the lack of 

 interest on the part of the persons for whose benefit it 

 had been intended ; and second, that the money voted 

 by the Combined Court would be retained in hand 

 towards the next Central Exhibition in Georgetown. 



The President proposed the adoption of the Report, 

 which was seconded by Mr. Geo. Little, Jnr. As an 

 amendment, it was proposed by Mr. N. D. Davis, and 

 seconded by Mr. W. Cunningham, that the Committee of 

 Correspondence be requested to reconsider the matter, 

 especially in regard to the latter portion of the Report, 

 as an Exhibition in another part of the colony might be 

 more successful. 



Mr. Cunningham said that something might be done 

 now that Mr. Daly who was well known to feel an 

 interest in the matter had come back. 



Mr. Daly said if the people of Buxton were foolish enough 

 to refuse, some other village might be more sensible. 



Mr. Davis' amendment having been duly carried, the 

 matter was ordered to be sent back to the Committee of 

 Correspondence with a view to an Exhibition being held 

 in some other locality. 



The Secretary read a Report from the Chamber of 

 Commerce, on the matter of Food Analysis, which had 

 been referred to the Commercial Committee. They 

 were of opinion that the fee should be reduced to $2.00, 

 and recommended increased vigilance on the part of the 

 officers on whom the inspection of foods devolves.
