CAPTURES AT LYNDHURST AND RYDE. 189 



liis observations had no reference to the gentlemen now nomi- 

 nated, but he thought if the Club became very large, there 

 would be a difficulty in entertaining its members in the present 

 way, and if that difficulty ever occurred the present social cha- 

 racter of the club would be in a great measure destroyed. 



Mr. BowERBANK and Mr. Davis took a different view of 

 the subject; it was suggested that if the club had honorary 

 members in every county it would tend to its general benefit, 

 and that even supposing this to be the case, the average attend- 

 ance of honorary members at each meeting of the club would 

 not amount to half a dozen, a number which every member of 

 the club would feel gratified in entertaining. 



The Chairman said that his observations had reference solely 

 to honorary members residing in the neighbourhood of London, 

 the number of whom he hoped would not be very large. 



Mr. Newman agreed in the view of the subject taken by the 

 Chairman, but thought it still necessary there should be some 

 honorary members resident in London, from amongst whom to 

 recruit any defalcation in the number of the regular members, 

 agreeably to the fourth law. 



The club then adjourned to Thursday evening, the 20th of 

 October, at Mr. Bennett's, 48, Cannon Street.
