The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the expenditure of £473 on showcases out of the Costley bequest, pointing out that it was less than the interest that had accrued between the death of Mr Costley and the time of its being handed over to tho Institute, which was really more than the amount exponded on the fittings, so that tho capital sum was intact. Mr W. D. Campbell seconded.—Carried. The Chairman moved that Mr J. P. Pond be President for the ensuing year, mentioning that that gentleman had taken great interest in the proceedings of tho Institute, and he was sure if he was elected he would fill the chair with ability. Mr Josiah Martin seconded. — The motion was carried unanimously. Mr Pond briefly returned thanks for tho .honour done him. He assured the members that what he had done for tho Institute he had performed with the greatest pleasure. The Chairman announced that under the rules tho two preceding past Presidents should act as Vice-Presidents for the year. Theso were Bishop Cowie and Mr H. G. Seth Smith. The next business was the election of three members of the Council. Professor Thomas, Mr Steele, Mr Mackech nio, and Mr James Baber were duly nominated, and the election by ballot pro ceeded with, Mr James Stewart and Copt. Webb acting as scrutineers. The Chairman announced tho result to be as_ follows :—Mr Stoole, 22 ;Mr Mac kechnio, 19 j Profossor Thomas, 16 ; and Mr Baber, 11, Tho firet three were declared elected.

On tho motion of Mr Stewart, Mr Thos, Maeffarlano was re-olected auditor.

Mr Pond moved that the first meeting of the session bo held on tho first Monday in June.—Carried.

Tho Chairman referred to the desir ability of taking advantage of the Religious, Charitable, and Educational Trust Boards Act for tho purposes of incorporation. The Institute as incorporated had all the powers of corporate bodies, and many advantages respecting the investment of money. It had been thought by the Council thot tho matter should be dealt with at this meeting, but he found that under the rules this could not be done without 10 days' notice. He moved that the meeting request the Council to convene a meeting for the purpose of considering the matter of the incorporation of the Institute. Mr W. D. Cami-bell seconded.

After some discussion regarding the power of the present meeting to take steps re garding the incorporation, tho motion was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was accorded to the out going President (Mr H. G. Seth Smith). Dr. J. Murray Moore expressed regret at the paucity of papers that had been read regarding tho Maori race, and moved that Mr F. D. Fenton should be asked to deliver his lecture on Maori traditions on a dato that could be arranged with Mr Fenton and tho Council.

Mr Jas. Stewart seconded,

Mr Fenton said it was 4 years ago skicc, through his exertions, a very beautiful war canoe had beon presented to the Institute, but it was still lying rotting on the Orakoi beach, and this being so he thought Dr. Moore arid Mr Stewart were over-rating tho interest taken in Maori antiquities by the Institute, He had offered the use of the Choral Hall for its storage, but nothing had been done.

Mr Stewart thought that as they now had funds they should get the canoe. The Chairman said that if they had no room for the canoe they had room for Mr Fenton's vast stock of Maori lore. The resolution was carried, and the mooting adjourned.

Calico Signs.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—A fow days ago one of our calico mor chants was wiring into the city officials for not allowing him to disfigure his handsome vorandah with strips of calico. As it is we have far too many of these tin-tack calico disfigurations. They are much too in flammable to be safely permitted. Is there no law to prevent public and private palings and fences from boing plastered over with tin-tack calico advertisements ? Can such advertisers not arrange for a portion of the hTAR advertising boards instead of dis figuring everything that will support or display their bills ?-y o urs, &c„ _ix Poi.
