h Brown; Secretary, Mrs. Brecken-
field; Treasurer Mrs. W. H. Govan;
Directors, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Hall, Mrs.

The President, Miss Crouch, was
nominated to be elected a Director of
the California Museum Association at
the request of the latter The Treas
urer reported the amount in the treas
ury to be $145 80, and the net profit
on the recent art curio entertainment
to he S93 30.
1t was resolved to devote S100 to the
payment of two yearly scholarships in
the Sacramento School of Design. Six
applications were filed and the choice
fell upon a young woman from Alame-
da and a young man from Stockton,
who viii to-day be notified of their
good fortune.
In each case two things determined
the action of the society. First, the
native ability and the natural taste of
the applicant; second inability to pay
the tuition fee, and ability to main
tain themselves for one year if the
society would pay the tuition.
The society having been in existence
nearly ten years it was found to be the
desire of the membership to have a
reunion and social gathering This
found expression at the meeting for
something of a somewhat novel char
acter to be confined to the member
ship and its friends, with no tickets
sold in the ordinary way, and no in
vitations sent out beyond a limited
number. This was resolved upon and
the reunion will take the form of a
private domino and fancy dress party
with supper and, and will probably
be Ariven on Thanksgiving eve.
The members of the society are to
have the sole management. and will
pass upon all the names of persons
outside the association who may wish
to attend. Members of the California
Museum Association will be privileged
to receive admission on certification by
their Secretary of desire to possess a
card. The affair viii be conducted as
a private fancy dress and masquerade
and domino party, and not as a pub
lie function, and the association is re-
solved to make it a notable social
event, as the first of its kind in many
years, and the first formal reunion
party of the association since its foun-
dation years ago as an auxiliary to
the California Museum Association.
The meeting discussed at some length
the aGvisability Of applying for ad-
mission to the National League of Wo-
mems Clubs A strong disposition to
that end being menifest, the Secretary
was instructed to open correspondence
with tie league and ascertain the terms
OF admission. The Secretary was also
instructed to address a letter to the
members upon the subject of the com
ing reunion party, and ascertain how
many desire TO be present or to invite
friends
There was manifest a lively interest
throughout the meeting in the work of
the association, which in its time has
given years free instruction in art
and designing to each of over thirty
worthy persons unable to pay their
own way through the School of Design
and these have been chosen not from
sacramento alone, but from these coun-
ties: Shasta, Sacramento, Yolo. San
Diego, Alameda, San JOAQUIN and FL
Dorado.
