 contribute as much as possible to the enjoyment of all present. 

 The Sub-Committee — namely, Messrs. Gray, Robinson, Malcomson, 

 Swanston, and Stewart, who had the getting-up of the entertain-

 for their exertions. The former gentlemen, as in former years, 

 must receive special mention. We must, however, in justice, state 

 that Mr. Darragh, the obliging curator of the Museum, lent ever}- 

 assistance. The evergreens used in the decorations, and some cut 

 flowers in different parts of the house, were from the gardens of Mr. 

 Ritchie, The Grove. We may add that ten new members were 

 enrolled at the close of the proceedings.
