Secretary's Report. 



Gentlemen, — 



As you all know, the last Annual Meeting was held 

 in Bloemfontein. It was then decided to hold the next 

 Meeting in Cape Town with that of the S. A, A. A. S., should 

 circumstances warrant this. As the cheap fares on account 

 of the Pageant would no doubt attract many people from all 

 parts of South Africa, it was thought advisable to adhere to 

 the custom adopted in the last two years, and hold our 

 Meeting, with that of the S. A. A. A. S., in the parliamentary 

 capital of South Africa. 



I will give you a brief review of the work of the Union 

 for last year, and the state of the Membership, &c., since 

 last Meeting. 



Members. — There have been two resignations since last 

 Meeting; and I would ask permission to remove three 

 Members from the Roll for non-payment of subscriptions. 



The following new Member is nominated for election : — 

 J. A. C. Knobel, Retreat, C.C, proposed by L. E. Taylor. 



The total Membership at date numbers 99 Ordinary and 

 9 Honorary.
