200 KEPORTS OF SOCIETIES. 



the members. Many of the slides circulated by their old members 

 would be exceedingly interesting and valuable if they were sent 

 round again. 



The Chairman announced the result of the voting. Dr. 

 Coombs was elected President-Elect and Dr. Partridge Vice- 

 President for next year. He also said that though there could be 

 no doubt on the next question, it was necessary that the Secretary 

 should be formally re-elected. The Committee would also be 

 re-elected for the ensuing year. Mr. Allen would, of course, be 

 re-elected as Secretary and Treasurer, and he should be elected 

 first. 



Mr. CuRTiES moved, in a short and very complimentary 

 manner, that Mr. Allen should be asked to fill the office of 

 Secretary and Treasurer for the ensuing year. 



Dr. Partridge seconded the motion. 



The Chairman, in putting the motion to the meeting, said 

 Mr. Allen was undoubtedly the life and soul of the Society, and 

 he could not think what they should do without him. 



The motion was carried unanimously. 



The Secretary thanked the Society for the honour they had 

 done him. He had nothing to add to what he had said last year 

 and in former years. It was a great pleasure to him to do the 

 work of the Society. He felt that he could not be called a lazy 

 man. It was not his nature, and he did not think he could fulfil 

 the duties required of him if he were. 



The members of the Committee to be re-elected were : — Col. 

 H. Basevi, G. Dannatt, the Rev. J. H. Green, E. Lovett, H. N. 

 Maynard, R. H. Moore, Geo. Norfhan, F. E. Robinson, the Rev. 

 E. T. Stubbs ; the Local Sub-Committee being the Rev. J. H. 

 Green, the Rev. E. T. Stubbs, R. H. Moore, G. Norman, F. E. 

 Robinson, and T. B. Silcock. 



Mr. Teasdale, in moving the re-election of the Committee 

 and Sub-Committee, observed that the Society were much 

 indebted to the Sub-Committee for their labours during the past 

 year in reforming the working of the Society. As the Society was 

 now so well constituted, he expressed a hope that many of the old 

 members would be induced to rejoin the Society. 



Dr. Partridge remarked that the Sub-Committee had devoted 

 an immense amount, not only of time, but of careful thought, to 

 the interests of the Society, and he had much pleasure in second- 

 ing the motion, which was put to the meeting and carried unani- 

 mously. 



The Chairman stated that this concluded the business of the
