The Fiera Annuat Mzztine of the Club was held on Wednes- 
day, 20th January, 1875, Henry Lee, Esq., President, in the chair. 
The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, 
the following gentlemen were ballotted for and declared to be duly 
elected:—Messrs. W. W. Baynes, D.L., J.P., A. Allen, Charles 
Waite, Edward Moore, Howard W. Bishop, Samuel Hollis Anthony, 
W. G. Stoneman, and Nat. Bogle-French, jun. The following 
gentlemen were nominated for election at the next meeting :— 
_ Messrs. John 8. Turney, The Ferns, Canning Road, Addiscombe ; 
_ Capt. Colin Mackenzie, Hareston, Bedford Park; and J. Lacy 
- Morley, M.R.C.S., Lower Addiscombe Road. 
; The Presipent announced, with some regret, that there had 
been no competition for the prize of £2 which had been offered 
_ by Mr. Long, who had invariably taken a great interest in the 
_ welfare of the Club, for the best twelve mounted objects. Mr. BE. 
 Leyett was the only member who had endeavoured to compete. 
He had sent in twelve very excellent mounted objects, and as he 
had complied with the conditions he was entitled to the prize. He 
knew that the time of the members was very much occupied, but 
still he had hoped to see three or four, at least, compete. He 
(the President) had some idea of doing so himself, in order that 
4 the prize might not be won by a walk over, but as he thought that 
dh is object might be misunderstood, he had abandoned the idea. If 
‘Mr. Lovett would intimate to Mr. Long what book he preferred, 
M . Long would purchase it for him. The President then referred 
to the proposition for devoting a portion of the balance in hand to 
2 lecture by some distinguished man. The choice of the Committee 
3 a d fallen upon Professor Morris, than whom there was not a more 
eloquent man or more eminent geologist. Unless anything unfore- 
seen occurred, it was proposed that the lecture should be delivered
