Prayers were offered, and enthusiastic cheering took place when the Rev Worrall entered his carriage, and were repeated as the train moved off down the line. The rev. gentleman appeared at the bar of the House, but declined to re tract anything or apologise. The House passed a resolution of censure. The rev gentleman returned to Beifdigo and met with a similar demonstration upon his re turn. He was summoned to appear before the House owing to remarks of his in a ser mon condemning the government for not putting down gambling, and indirectly blaming them for the death of the man recently kicked to death on the Melbourne;' rac-» course. 'f The position of affairs over the School of Arts election has not improved with time. T4ict/ifro Vitite-IVesijdantB {D* Young ujnd Mr Grace) have sent along their resignations. Apart from the by-law requiring the balance sheet to be audited seven days be fore the annual meeting, to us tbe question is simply this : Was the meeting right in electing officers and committee befoie the presentation and acceptance of tbe Treasu rer's statement 1 It certainly is irregular, but against this there is the Chairman's ruling, and surely a chairman has some lattitude to meet local circums ancesi It must be remembered the annual meeting merely stands adjourned to receive the balance sheet. The President has wisely stated the case to the Minister for Educa tion for his opinion.
