At the stated meeting of the Board of Trustees on October 1st, the following 

 were elected to active membership in the Association: Mr. C. G. Hine, Stapleton 

 and Mr. Ralph Bainbridge, West New Brighton. 



The Museum is a participant in the budget exhibit now in progress at 330 

 Broadway, and occupies two tables in the Section devoted to public institutions. 

 Our display consists of photographs showing the interior of the museum and of 

 the curator's office, with an explanatory statement describing our congested con- 

 dition: several placards giving statistics of attendance, and a comparative table 

 of budget appropriations for all the New York museums. To illustrate the 

 work accomplished here, various descriptive labels are shown, also a photograph 

 of the Billopp house and a schedule of the lectures for children given in the 

 Museum during the winter of 1908- 9. 



The general exhibit contains features of interest to every citizen, and we trust 

 that members of the Association will avail themselves of the opportunity of 

 visiting it during the present month. 



Our grateful acknowledgements are due to Mr. E. L. Morris, curator of nat- 

 ural science in the Brooklyn Museum, for his courtesy in having the various 

 placards used in our exhibit printed expressly for us.
