Broderick, who has been the efficient and energetic secretary of the asaociati n since its organization, declined re-election but the association did not teke any action toward3 appointing a suocessor, evidently hoping that Mr. Broderick would re-oon4der the matter, and decide to accept theosition. t It would be a deaided loss to the aatooiation should Mr. Broderick definitely daide to withdraw, and we trust, that he will see his way clear to again act. The assiociation will'hold their annual r3.Ce meet a.lout the third week in June. i • 1 THE CARNIVAL. -The first carnival of the nation was held On the skating rink on Fri- day last, and was most enccesafut.
