From the above it will be seen that the Branch has been extremely fortunate in obtaining papers for all but one meeting. To this circumstance, and doubtless to the merits of many of the papers, may be attributed the improved attendance of our meetings.
Early last year the Branch resolved to publish Mr Park's book on Composition for the benefit of the profession. The success attending the venture may be gathered from the rapid sale of the book. About 500 copies were published, all of which have been disposed of with a slight profit to the Branch.

It was deemed advisable to alter the time of the annual meeting of the Branch from March to June, in order to suit the annual meeting of the Institute held in the latter month.
The President was chosen to read a paper on behalf of the Branch at the annual Conference.
In conclusion, your Committee have to congratulate members on the prosperous condition of the Branch, and would strongly advise their successors to exert their influence in keeping up a lively interest in its affairs.
W. J. Moore
, Secretary.
