Minutes of previous tneeting having been read and 

 confirmed, letters were read from Messrs, Robson, 

 Perkins, Crozier, J. P. Ball (2), Ranisden, Houlton, 

 Tyson, Faire}-, Allen, and Boaler. 



Mr. Houlton's letter called the Committee's attention 

 to the disqualification of Mr. Browning's mule at the 

 Crystal Palace. It was decided that as the matter had 

 been dealt with by the L. & P. O. S., which Society 

 had exonerated Mr. Browning, the incident was finished. 

 Mr. Ramsden's letter conveyed his resignation, which, 

 he wrote, was because of "the treatment I have received 

 from one or two of A'our officials." The following reso- 

 lution was proposed and carried unanimously — "That, 

 as nothing official has been passed by the N. B. B. & M. 

 C. to annoy Mr. Ranisden, the Committee would like 

 Mr. Ranisden to reconsider his decission and give them 

 particulars of his complaint." 



An application from the Hull Cage Bird Society for 

 patronage and snpport was allowed to stand over 

 pending details of classification. 



Mr. Frostick rose at 9 o'clock to deliver his lecture. 

 The paper proved highly interesting and instructive, and 

 as Mr. Frostick has kindly presented the lecture to the 

 Club for publication in the IMagazine, all the members of 

 the Club will have the benefit of the same. 



A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer 

 at the conclusion, and INIessrs, Boerma, Pollard, Jones, 

 Dewhurst, Cooper and Sandy took part in the discussion 

 which followed, during which Mr. Frostick handed 

 round his model Nightingale cage and bird trap for 

 inspection. Mr. P'rostick, in replying to the vote of 

 thanks, declared that he should always endeavour to 

 help on the work of the Club by any means in his power, 

 and he expressed his pleasure at the remarks which had 

 been passed and the allusions to his work on behalf of 

 the Club. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed an 

 interesting and instructive evening.
