desire to express their profound sympathy with his family in 

 their bereavement." 



The Chairman said that they met that evening under circum- 

 stances of great sorrow. Although he had not "been brought so 

 much into personal relation with Mr. Hailes as Mr. Karop 

 had, yet he had known him for a great number of j^ears, and 

 could say that in all his business transactions with him in connec- 

 tion with the Journal he had never met with anyone more ready 

 to give his help whenever he went to him for his advice or assist- 

 ance in any matter connected with the Club, and looking back 

 upon his connection with them, he could not recollect a single 

 meeting when Mr. Hailes was not present. He could only feel 

 with others that a terrible blow had fallen upon the Club. 



Mr. J. G. Waller inquired if the resolution which had been 

 agreed to by the Committee could not be adopted by the whole 

 of the meeting ? He thought this would be a course which 

 would strongly recommend itself to the members who were 

 present. 



The Chairman at once agreed to this suggestion, and having 

 put the resolution to the meeting, declared it to be unanimously 

 carried.
