The Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K. C., President of St. George's Society, informs us that it has been decided by the Committee of St. George's Society to cancel the original programme. There will now be no entertainment at the theatre or ball at the City Hall.

Improvements are being carried out, under the supervision of Messrs. Palmer and Turner, in the City Hall and the Theatre Royal. St. George's Hall, the St. Andrew's Hall and the small rooms are having new floors for dancing. The building is also being redecorated.
