Town Hall and the several rooms; to the President, Committee, 
and members of the Hobart Chamber of Commerce, for the use 
of the Chamber of Commerce room; to the Council of the Royal 
Society of Tasmania, fer the use of their Board-room; to the 
Trustees of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, for the use 
of several rooms; to the Tasmanian Minister of Railways and the 
General Manager of Railways (Mr. Chas. Hudson), for the very 
liberal concessions granted to members; to the Railway Commis- 
sioners of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queens- 
Jand, and New Zealand; and to the Union 8.8. Company of New 
Zealand, and Messrs. Huddart, Parker, and Co., for reduction in 
fares; to the Directors of the Mount Lyell Railway and Mining 
Company and Mr. Robert Sticht, for their very liberal concessions 
granted by them to the members, and the Directors of the Emu 
Bay Railway Company; to Mr. T. Julian Haywood, the City 
Organist, for presiding at the organ during the evening lectures; 
to Mr. Bradshaw Major and the members of the Philharmonic 
Society of Hobart. He said their thanks were certainly due to 
the Government, and especially the Premier (Hon. N. E. Lewis), 
who was present that day. A great many acts of kindness had 
been received, not only from the Government, but also from many 
private individuals. (Applause.) 
Professor Kernot (Victoria) seconded the motion, and said that, 
taking into consideration the revenue and population of Tas- 
mania, the treatment given the members of the Association was 
really magnificent. (Applause.) Hobart was certainly an attrac- 
tive place for the Association to meet. The climate was delight- 
ful, and for hospitality and generosity Tasmania was unrivalled. 
(Applause.) 
The motion was agreed to. 
The Premier (Hon. Sir N. E. Lewis, K.C.M.G.), who was re- 
ceived with applause, expressed pleasure that the Association was 
satisfied with the little that the Tasmanian Government had been 
able to do for it. The people of Tasmania had had an intellectual 
treat, and it was a great privilege for them to receive the members 
of the Association; and if they had not been able to do as much 
in the way of hospitality as had been done by the larger and 
wealthier States, there was one point in which Tasmania would 
not yield, and that was in the heartiness and cordiality with 
which the members of the Association were welcomed to these 
shores. (Applause.) It was ten years since the Association had 
last been here, but he hoped that another Session would be held 
in Tasmania before another ten years elapsed. 
Dr. Roth (Queensland) moved a vote of thanks to the Commis- 
sioner of Police (Major Richardson), the Superintendent of Police 
(Mr. F. Pedder), for the very great assistance they have, with 
their efficient staff, rendered in regulating the traffic in connec- 
tion with the visit of the members to High Peak and the Springs, 
Mount Wellington. 
Mr. R. M. Johnston (Tas.) seconded the motion, which was 
agreed to. 
Professor Mica-Smith (Ballarat) moved, “That Professor Liver- 
sidge be elected the first life member of the Association, in recog- 
nition of Lis labours in having been the originator of the Associa- 
tion, and of his services throughout its past history.” 
Hon. Sir N. E. Lewis seconded the motion, and referred to the 
interest that Professor Liversidge had taken in the work of the 
Association.
