Standardization of OfacerE.

Spirit-Election of Ofncers.
The Ladies Museum Association met
yesterday at Pioneer Hall, Vice President
Mrs. G. E. Grunsky presiding, Mrs. Mayor
Gregory being absent from the city. There
was an excellent attendance, and COM
mendable spirit was manifest to continue
the organization and TO enlarge its pur-
poses and better define its methods. The
ton was of much practical benefit to the
community; that it fills field no other
does, and that while it is able TO act as an
efficient auxiliary to the California Museum
Association, it is also a useful means of
bringing ladies into pleasant relations with
each other, who otherwise do often find
themselves laboring together in public in
terest on common lines. "The aims of the
society,"" said one of the members, "are
wholly unselfish, and ali its work is for the
promotion of ends that have in them
neither religion, politics, reforms, nor any
thing but pride in the city and its advance
ment."
Some considerable time had been spent
in free conference. The report of the Treas
urer was then made. Mrs. Bonnheim re-
ported the funds on hand, after payment of
all bills, to be about $130, the exact amount
being undetermined, as money had been
paid in after she had entered the ball. The
membership in good standing was 1853.
The Treasurer INDUCED in some extended
and encouraging remarks, and advised in
her report that the Association vote an en-
dowment to maintain at least two scholar
ships in the Sacramento School of Design,

strong tastes for designing, who are so stu
ated as not to be able to pay their tuition,
in addition to giving the time necessary to
pursue their studies in the school. She
outlined the character of notice that should
be given to competitors for such places.
This suggestion was subsequently adopted,
and the details were referred to the Execu-
tive Committee.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year was then entered upon, with the fol-
lowing result: President, Mrs. E. G. Jor-
dam Vice President, Mrs William Ingram,
Jr.; Secretary, Mrs. E. B. Willis; Treas
urer, Mrs. A. Bonnheim. 1t was by res
olution ordered that an Executive Com
mittee be created to carry out the orders
of the Association, and TO act for it in the
interims between the meetings, and the
following were chosen: The President,
Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and
Mrs. j. W. Armstrong, Mrs c. II. Cum
mings, Mrs. ]. A. Woodson, Mrs. d. Lubin
and Mrs. c. E. Grunsky.
The President of the California Museum
Association was sent for, and on arriving
was introduced to the meeting. By re-
quest he outlined the plans of the Associa-
ton, its expectations from the ladies' or
ganization, the varied schemes that were
under consideration in relation TO both AS
sociations by their friends, so far as their
interests are in common, and generally the
views OF the Directors regarding the adj
ministration of the affairs of the elder in
stitution, and the aid that the auxiliary
society could render it.
Mrs. Fitch rendered to the Association
certain property in her hands to aid in
the proposal to have series of social enter
tainments during The winter, and the offer
was referred to the Executive Committee,
which was ordered to meet on Monday
next The Association then adjourned,
with the expressed determination on the
part of the members present to do active
work in adding to the roll of membership
of the California Museum Association, in
swelling the number of scholars in the
school Of design, in rendering assistance
when desired at the Art Gallery, on occa-
sions when the city receives prominent
bodies; to aid also in stimulating dona-
lions to the museum collection at the Art
Gallery and, as one lady concisely summed
it up, "to do all we can for Sacramento"
