Ixxii Journal of Proceedings. 



Mr. Robarts, in proposing that the address be printed and circulated 

 in the usual way, said it was the future w^hich should possess the most 

 interest for them. It was very desirable that all members should strive 

 to add their quota, however humble, to increasing the interest of the 

 meetings, especially in objects and facts connected with the County. 

 They ardently wished for a great increase in the number of members, 

 not mainly to augment the funds, but that more matter in the way of 

 original contributions might find its way into their hands. The 

 resolution was seconded by Mr. Lockyer, and carried by acclamation. 



Mr. Letchford proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Officers of the 

 Club in a humourous speech. Mr. Hutchison seconded, saying that few 

 were aware of the large amount of work thrown upon officers of such 

 Societies. The compliment was suitably acknowledged by Messrs. 

 Meldola, Barnes, Cole, and Lockyer. Thanks were also voted to the 

 Auditors ; and on the motion of the President, seconded by the 

 Treasurer, Miss J. E. Cole and Mr. H. A. Cole, the Conductors of the 

 Government Art Classes, were warmly thanked for the accommodation 

 afforded to the Club for its meetings, and the use of rooms for the 

 Library and Museum.
