MEMORIAL HALL has reopened with every prospect of success. Many of the "deserters" have returned, and the Association has at present a membership of over 360. The old steward was induced by a pecuniary consideration to abdicate before the expiration of his term of office, and he has been succeeded by a man who seems to be much better qualified for the place.

If he is removed, therefore, the future success or non-success of the Association will be considered as depending upon them; and however competent the new steward may be, the Association cannot possibly succeed if there is any further decrease in the number of men at the Hall. It is the duty, accordingly, of all those who urged...
