el entertainments at Christmas last, however, there had
been a great change for the better, and the iestituttoo had
been crowded daily, and the receipts had rises in propor-
tion. All the moms, shops, sod stalls in the icstitution

eissises were progressing favoutably, having some 500
studests, against 300 lett year. The laboratory bad also
been further utilised by having lectures on electricity, leo-
lep. sod chemistry delivered in it. The income for the
