ers: President, Frank Harris; vice-presi-

able funds of the association amounting
to $4,000 were sold at n per cent pre-
MUM. The instruction authorizing the

at one per cent premium was on motion
annule dand withdrawn. The indications

demand and the per cent of premium
will naturally be higher. The report of
the committee appointed to audit the
secretary's books was accepted, finding
the accounts and funds correct and the

pianos were not sold, but their failure put
