 report, desire to commend his services to the best consideration of the 

 Colonial Government, and respectfully suggest that His Excellency, 

 Sir Charles Cameron Lees, should bring such services specially to the 

 notice of Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies."

 Columbian Exposition Committee. 



The President moved the adoption of the Report and 

 that the recommendation contained therein be forwarded 

 to the Government. 



The Hon. B. Howell Jones in seconding this, and speak- 

 ing as Chairman of the Committee, said he would like 

 to thank the members of the Committee and also the 

 Secretary for their assistance. He thought they w^ould 

 all agree that the representation of British Guiana had 

 been a success and that this was mainly due to Mr. 

 Quelch, who had done his best to advance the welfare of

 to serve on the Committee and to know that it had ter- 

 minated successfully. On behalf of the Committee and 

 himself he wished to express their thanks for the services 

 rendered by the Secretary. 



The report was unanimously adopted, and the Honor- 

 ary Secretary dire6led to forward the recommendation 

 therein contained to the Government.

 fields," read at the previous meeting, having been de-
