present ; lie should never look at it without thinking of their kindness, and how 

 many times he had shaken hands with those who at their meetings had always 

 given him such a cordial welcome and support during the period he had the 

 honour to be their Secretary. 



Mr. White then vacated the Secretary's chair, which was at once occupied by 

 the newly-elected Hon. Secretary — Mr. John E. Ingpen. 



A vote of thanks to the Scrutineers was moved by Mr. B. D. Jackson, and 

 having been seconded and put to the meeting was carried unanimously.

The following gentlemen were ballotted for, and duly elected members of the 

 Club:— Mr. John Baguley, Rev. H. J, Fase, Mr. John Thos. Hurst, Mr. 0. I>e 

 Pelley, Mr. John S. Walker, and Mr. Walter White. 



Mr. Thos. Crook hoped he should not be out of place in saying a few words 

 then, but he thought that there was one gentleman to whom a vote of thanks 

 should be certainly given, and that was to Mr. Lewis, their shorthand writer ; 

 he, therefore, wished to propose that the thanks of the Club be given to Mr. 

 Lewis for his services. 



The motion having been seconded, 



Mr. T. C. White said that if it were necessary to "third it"' he would do so, 

 because he felt so strongly the value of Mr. Lewis's work; indeed he did not 

 know what they would do without it. He had intended to move this proposal 

 himself, but Mr. Crook had quite taken the wind out of his sails. 



The President thought after the manner in which the proposal for this vote of 

 thanks had been received, it was scarcely necessary to put it to the meeting. It 

 was then put, and carried unanimously, 



Mr. T, C. White then proposed votes of thanks to the Librarian and the 

 Curator, also to their Treasurer, Mr. Hardwicke, which, having been seconded, 

 were put to the meeting, and carried unanimously.
