rnencing at four o'clock of the first named
day. The opening will be informal, and
adjournment will Immediately take place
to Thursday morning at nine O'Clock.
The last day undoubtedly, will be a
busy session, there being a large volume
Of business to transact, and 1t is possible
the reading and adoption of the revised
constitution and digest may prolong the
evenings exercises until a late hour. The
importance OF well considering the first
radical revision of the orders organic law
q report on which was laid over from the
session OF 1910, transcends all trivial meas
ures or those of less moment which may
be proposed.

held at the opening Of the afternoon SEES
sion, Thursday; the installation will close

| frmed, but that no injustice be done to

sidered; for example, the revised consti-
