be] only too pleased to be allowed the opportunity of aiding any 

 one who would take an interest in the subject. 



A vote of thanks to the auditors and scrutineers was then 

 proposed by Mr. Marshall, seconded by Mr. Neville, and unani- 

 mously carried. 



Dr. Measures than moved "that the best thanks of the Club 

 be given to the Officers and Committee for their work during the 

 past year." He thought the general condition, as shown by the 

 Report, would show how well their officers had done their part, 

 and he was sure it must have afforded them great satisfaction 

 to be able to lay such a statement before the members. 



Mr. H. E. Freeman having seconded the motion, it was put 

 to the meeting by the mover, and carried unanimously. 



Mr. Morland, in responding for the officers of the Society, 

 said they were very much obliged to the members for the very 

 kind way in which their thanks had been given. It would of 

 course be obvious that the work of a Society like the Quekett 

 Club could not be carried out without a great deal of labour on 

 the part of some one, but if they were encouraged by the appre- 

 ciation of the members, he was sure their work would be a 

 pleasure. They were only a small Society, with a very small 

 subscription ; and therefore, if their expenses were to be met and 

 their efficiency kept up, it was very desirable that they should 

 obtain as many more members as possible — and of course members 

 who would pay promptly. 



Mr. Karop said he did not feel called upon to do more than 

 second what Mr, Morland had said on behalf of the officers of the 

 Club. As regarded himself, however, he might add that as he 

 had been in office since 1883 he felt every year that a time was 

 coming when it would be for the advantage of the Club that his 

 work should be handed over to some younger and more energetic 

 man to carry on. So long, however, as he retained the office 

 he should always be pleased to do the best he could for the 

 welfare of the Club.
