The PRESIDENT. Ladies and Gentlemen, We are going to open our Annua 

 Convention by a few words from His Honour, Sir Louis Jett, the Lieutenant- 

 Governor of this Province, whom I now have the pleasure of calling upon to address 

 you. 



THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. 



Mr, President, Ladies and Gentlemen, When you asked me to preside at the 

 opening of this first sitting of your annual congress, I am sure you must have been 

 satisfied that the mere object of your Association would suffice to ensure my accept- 

 ance and hearty co-operation. I am glad to be able to show that in this you were 

 not mistaken, and to be able to thank you for the honour conferred upon me by 

 allowing me to have a share in your labours, however small it may be. 



The duty I have to perform fortunately does not entail the obligation of de- 

 fending the cause of the preservation of our forests, and the afforestation of our lands. 

 That is your duty, not mine.
