address with interest ; he therefore had much pleasure in moving 

 that their best thanks be given to the President for his address, 

 and that he be asked to allow it to be printed in the Journal. 

 He should also like to add to this that their thanks be also accorded 

 to the President for his services to the Club during the past two 

 years. 



The motion having been seconded by Mr. Hardy, was put to 

 the meeting by the mover and carried by acclamation. 



The President thanked the members for the kind way in which 

 they had received the address, and also for the hearty manner in 

 which they had passed this vote of thanks. He should always be 

 pleased to be of any service to the Club. 



It was then moved by Mr. Marshall, seconded by Mr. Lloyd, 

 and unanimously resolved, " that the best thanks of the Club be 

 given to the Auditors and Scrutineers." 



Mr. Groves said he had a pleasant duty to perform in proposing 

 that a vote of thanks be given to the Committee and the Officers 

 of the Club for their services during the past year. After hearing 

 the report of the Committee and the financial statement of the 

 Treasurer, it must be obvious to all that they owed a debt of 

 gratitude to all who had been concerned in so ably carrying on 

 the management of their affairs during the year. The services 

 of their Treasurer had already been alluded to, and no words 

 from him were needed to increase their sense of indebtedness. 

 They had all felt what a great loss they suffered by having to 

 accept his resignation, for they all knew something of the efficient 

 manner in which he had worked, and how large a measure of the 

 present prosperity of the Club was due to his efforts, and to his 

 genial manner in carrying on the work of his particular depart- 

 ment. As regarded Mr. Nelson, they were greatly indebted to 

 him for his services in connection with the Journal, and very 

 much regretted that they were about to lose them. Their Secre- 

 tary's work was so well known that he could add nothing to what 

 had been said ; he was always working so actively, and always 

 so ready to push forward the interests of the Club in general. 

 Messrs. Lewis, Smith, Rousselet, and Browne, were all well 

 entitled to their most hearty thanks for what they had done, and 

 the Committee, as well as their Vice-Presidents, must also be 

 heartily thanked for their useful services. 



The motion, having been seconded by Mr. Traviss, was put to 

 the meeting by the President and carried with applause.
