OBITUARY. 



N commencing my seventh annual address I 

 regret to have to record the death 

 of two of our original members, Mr. 

 Nathaniel Bond and Rev. Canon Robert 

 R. Watts, Sub-Dean of Salisbury Cathedral. 

 Both these gentlemen were formerly fre- 

 quent attendants at our meetings, and 

 took great general interest in the welfare 

 of the club, which they helped to found 36 

 years ago. They will long be remembered by all our older 

 members. I may say the same of Rev. Canon Hart Dyke, 

 who joined us in 1896, and has also passed from our midst. 

 Commander Harston, R.N., joined the club in 1897, and 

 would, I feel sure, have taken more part in our doings had 

 his frequent ill-health permitted him. Colonel Ransford 

 joined in 1906 and was often kind in making himself useful 

 to the Club. He will be much missed in his neighbourhood. 

 Lastly, we have to lament the loss of Sir John Hanham,
