Lord Haddington's telegram was as follows : — " Sincerely 

 regret my inability to be present. I hope you will have a 

 pleasant evening, and I wish continued success to your Society, 

 in which I take a true interest." 



After Mr. Borchgrevink, the Antarctic explorer, had made a 

 few congratulatory remarks, Mr. John Paterson, one of the vice- 

 presidents of the Society, proposed a vote of thanks to the 

 gentlemen who had come from the kindred societies throughout 

 the country, and also a vote of thanks to the musicians who had 

 contributed so largely to the evening's enjoyment. Both of 

 these were cordially responded to. 



Dr. Robert Brown, Vice-President, proposed a vote of thanks 

 to the Chairman. 



Mr. Somerville, in reply, thanked the meeting for their
