The Chairman remarked that the present meeting was held under 
gloomy and painful circumstances owing to the very serious illness of 
the Prince of Wales. Steps had been taken to ascertain the latest 
authentic intelligence regarding the condition of the Prince, and if the 
news happened to be of a disastrous nature the Academy would have 
at once adjourned ; but as the latest telegram which had been re- 
ceived stated that the strength of His Eoyal Highness still kept up, it 
would happily not be necessary to do so, and they might accordingly 
proceed with the business on the notice paper.
