Mr. Karop, in responding, thanked the members on behalf of 

 himself and his colleagues for their vote of thanks. For himself, 

 he could only say that as each year came round he felt that 

 having been in office since 1883, he had perhaps held it long 

 enough, and though he should not resign unless they wished it, 

 he felt the time had come when he ought to have a little help. 

 So long, however, as he remained, he should always — as would 

 each of the other officers — do what he could to further the interests 

 of the Quekett Club. 



The proceedings then terminated with the usual Conversazione.
