The President: No objection being made, the 

 report of the Treasnrer will be accepted and placed on 

 file. 



The President : It has been cnstomary, early in 

 the session, to appoint a committee of three on anditing, 

 committee of five on nominations, and a committee of 

 three on next place of meeting. I find that to be cus- 

 tomary, and if some gentleman will make a motion to 

 that effect, I will announce the committees and the}' 

 can report soon after we reconvene this afternoon. 



Mr. Whitaker : I move that the President be 

 authorized to appoint the necessar_v committees. 

 Carried. 



The President : There is one thing that has 

 caused a great deal of trouble. There have been a 

 number of members claimed that they resigned at a 

 certain time. There are nine members who have paid 

 their dues — there were ten — and with their dues have 

 requested that their resignations be accepted. Follow- 

 ing are the names of these nine members : Jno. T. 

 Agnew, J. Penrose Collins, J. Brown Goode, Chas. F. 

 Imbrie, J. D. Ouackenbos, H. ]\I. Rogers, Benjamin 

 Wood, N. Wallace, A. Haley. These gentlemen have 

 paid their dues up, and asked that their resignations be 

 accepted. I think it is proper and right. We have no 

 records of any resignations on our book ; and this has 

 been a great cause of difficulty in correcting this list. 

 That is one reason wli}' it is not correct. These gentle- 

 men have paid their dues and ask that the Society 

 accept their resignations. 



Mr. Cheney : I move that the resignations of the 

 nine members whose names have been read be ac- 

 cepted. Carried. 



The President : I believe the routine business is 

 completed. 



The Secretary : Will you appoint the commit- 

 tees ?
