During the past year we have had to lament the death on February 
27th, of our Honorary Assistant Secretary, Mrs. B. R. Clarkson. In 
losing her we have lost one whose zeal, ability, energy and courtesy have 
from the beginning of our association contributed very greatly to its 
success. 
The association has great reason to congratulate itself on the credit 
which has been reflected upon it by the services in South Africa of its 
Honorary Secretary-Treasurer, Major W. Hamilton Merritt, and of Sur- 
geon-Colonel George 8S. Ryerson, a former president, and now an honor- 
ary vice-president of the association, both of whom have earned and are 
earning distinction in the Queen’s cause. And in this connection we 
may mention that the Earl of Albemarle, a grandson of Sir Allan Napier 
MacNab, also on duty in South Africa, has become an honorary vice- 
president of the association. 
On the 9th of March, 1899, Lady Dilke was elected an honorary 
vice-president, and on the 13th of April a letter was read from her Lady- 
ship signifying her acceptance of the office. 
As an instance of the benefit of such an association as ours, we would 
say that through Dr. Parkin, of Upper Canada College, inquiries have 
been made of us by Professor Morris of the University, Melbourne, 
Australia, respecting a Loyalist refugee, whom he desires to trace if 
possible.
