At the close of the meeting the following Resolution was 

 passed : — Resolved that " the Club desire to place on record their 

 sense of the great loss which they have sustained by the sudden 

 death of their ordinary member, Dr. John Barker. He was a 

 long esteemed and much valued colleague, always ready for any 

 act of friendly kindness, genial and warm-hearted, faithful and 

 true. By those of the Club who knew him long and intimately, 

 as well by the pond-side as by the fire-side, he will be equally 

 missed and regretted, nor can his place among us be ever filled 

 by one more sincere to his friends or to everything he thought 

 honest and upright."
