111. ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING. 



the Dorset Photographic Survey, Earthworks, Numismatics 

 and Restored Churches were also re-appointed. Colonel and 

 Mrs. Dickson having retired from the Photographic Survey, 

 Mr. Edwin Seward, F.R.I. B.A., of Weymouth, was appointed 

 on the Survey, on the motion of Mr. Vere Oliver. Mr. Oliver 

 was placed on the Numismatic Committee, and the Rev. H. 

 M. Wellington on that for Restored Churches. 



PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. MR. NELSON M. RICHARDSON 

 delivered his seventeenth Presidential Address. In the course 

 of it he mentioned with deep regret the loss suffered by the 

 club through the deaths of Lord Digby, the Bishop of 

 Durham, and the Bishop of Salisbury. And, in conclusion, 

 he offered his congratulations to two of the Vice- Presidents 

 upon distinctions which had been received by them: Canon 

 Mayo, one of the four surviving original members of the Club, 

 who had just taken the degree of Doctor of Letters at Oxford, 

 and Mr. W. de C. Prideaux, who had been made a Chevalier 

 de VEtoile Noire in recognition of his valuable inventions in 

 machine gunnery. MR. PRIDEAUX, in acknowledging the 

 compliment, reminded the gathering that the man in front of 

 the guns was, so to speak, more worthy of honour than the 

 man behind them. He referred to two noted Dorset airmen : 

 Lieut. Moorhouse, V.C., of Parnham, who came down mortally 

 wounded after making an important reconnaissance, but 

 "made his report" before he expired; and the late Major 

 Hawker, V.C., D.S.O., of Weymouth, who wanted machine 

 belts very badly, and worried him (Mr. Prideaux) until he got 

 on with them. 



A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded with acclamation 

 to Mr. Richardson, on the proposition of CAPTAIN ELWES, for 

 another most admirable anniversary report. Their President, 

 he added, always surprised and delighted them with the wide 

 extent of the knowledge he showed, and the extraordinarily 

 lucid and interesting way in which he brought matters before 

 them.
