The Chairman called on the Honorary Secretary to read the 

 notice convoking the meeting, and then to read the minutes of 

 the last meeting, held on Monday, April 18th, which were con- 

 firmed and signed. The Chairman then proposed that, as the 

 report was in the hands of the meeting, it should be taken as 

 read, and Mr. E. Luff Smith, the auditor, was called upon to 

 explain the Financial Report. Wliile expressing -a reasonable hope 

 that Mr. Lance Gray, Member of Council, would be able to effect
