The President reported on behalf of the Dire6lors that 
it was proposed to hold a meeting at Barbados on the 
3rd September, to consider the present condition of the 
West Indian Sugar Industry. The Secretary of the 
Trinidad Chamber of Commerce had written to the 
Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, the Planters' Asso- 
ciation and this Society, asking that delegates be sent to 
the proposed meeting, and the Dire6lors recommended 
that the Hon'ble B. Howell Jones, who they believed was 
willing to accept the post, should be chosen to represent 
the Society, He would therefore move that the Hon'ble 
B. Howell Jones be asked to proceed to Barbados and 
represent the Society at the proposed Conference, and 
that the Society grant the sum of Fifty Dollars to pay 
his out-of-pocket and travelling expenses. 
In reply to a question of Mr. E. C. Luard, the Presi- 
dent said he understood that the delegates were willing 
kinds, and is very frequently confounded with other and harmless varie- 
ties, they offer a rare opportunity for careful and discriminate obser- 
vation.— £rf.
