Mr. G. N. Pricr seconded the motion, which was carried 
unanimously. 
ELECTION OF SECRETARY. 
The Presipent—I have now great pleasure in telling you that 
the present Secretary, although he finds the work hard and onerous, 
is willing to continue it for a term. You have to elect a Secretary, 
and under the circumstances I need not tell you what to do. : 
Mr. W. R. Coorer proposed that Mr. Henry Long continue in 
office as Secretary. He was sorry to mention, that amongst Mr. 
Long’s arduous duties, was that of having to ask members for their 
subscriptions two or three times. He hoped the members would 
endeavour to assist the secretary in that respect. 
Dr. Carpenter seconded the motion, which was carried unani- 
mously. 
Mr. Lone, in acknowledgment, thanked the members for the 
indulgence they had manifested towards him in the discharge of his 
duties. He should endeavour to fill the office, not only to the 
satisfaction of the members, but also to the interests of the Club; 
and he would take this opportunity of acknowledging the kind and 
ready assistance which he had always received from the committee. 
THE COMMITTEE. 
The Presipent—I am sorry to inform you that on the com- 
mittee there has been one resignation—that of Dr. Lanchester— 
who finds it impossible to attend the meetings; but he will con- 
tinue to be a member of the Club, and to give us his best assist- 
ance. The members of the committee have worked so thoroughly 
well together, the Club has so prospered under their care, 
and they are so well acquainted with their various duties, 
as shown by the late Soirée, that I have taken upon myself to 
advise that the former committee should be re-elected, and that 
we should substitute Dr. Carpenter’s name for that of Dr. 
Lanchester. 
Mr. A. D. Tayzor then proposed the re-election of the com- 
mittee, and that Dr. Carpenter be elected to the vacancy caused 
by the resignation of Dr. Lanchester.
