﻿IS. each; of these 411 were sold, and reaHzed i^20 lis., a 

 sum sufficient to cover all the expenses. On the second 

 evening, when the Exhibition was open free by complimentary 

 ticket, there was an attendace of about 1,700. 



In connection with the Exhibition, the Council thought it 

 expedient to ask members to guarantee a fund which would 

 be sufficient to cover the probable cost of such Exhibition. 

 The required amount was at once promised ; and the 

 Council wish to tender their thanks to the members who 

 volunteered their support to the fund, which, however, owing 

 to the large sale of tickets, was not drawn upon. 



At a meeting held in December, 1887, a resolution was 

 passed, and a Committee appointed to revise the Rules of the 

 Society, Such Committee afterwards submitted their Report 

 to a General Meeting of members on the 9th February, and, 

 with some alterations, their recommendations were adopted. 



Mr. Lachlan Gibb was good enough to present the 

 Society with an Obligation Book, and some other friends 

 presented an Attendance Signature Book. The Council 

 beg to ask all members who have not yet signed the former 

 book to do so as soon as possible, and also when present at 

 any meeting not to omit to sign the Attendance Book, as it 

 is very desirable that as full a record as possible of the 

 attendance at meetings should be kept.
