REPORT OF THE LADIES ASSOCIATION OF THE 
NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
The Ladies’ Association submit the following report for the 
past year: 
At the annual meeting held in November, the following 
officers were re-elected unanimously : President, Mrs. G. F. 
Matthew; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. G. U. Hay and Miss A. D. 
Jack; Secretary, Miss E. McBeath. 
The membership is still increasing and there are now over 
one hundred names on the list. 
The subject of holding a Fair illustrating the History of 
Nations was discussed and approved by the members, the pro- 
ceeds of which shall go towards a fund for a building that shall 
properly accommodate the Museum and Library and contain a 
suitable lecture hall. 
It is hoped that the work will not be confined to the members 
only, but will become a matter of civic interest, and that our 
proposed new building may contain rooms suitable for the 
Historical Society and the Woman’s Art Association.
