 The President in opening the meeting said that as this 

 was the first time he had occupied the chair since his 

 ele6lion, he would make one or two remarks. He 

 earnestly desired that the present year would prove 

 satisfaftory, and even more prosperous to the Society 

 than any previous one, and especially that there would be 

 a good attendance at the Meetings. As a Water Street 

 man, he hoped that class of persons would make a better 

 appearance at the meetings than they had done in past 

 years. They would always be ready to consider any 

 suggestions that might be made by any of the members, 

 and give them all due consideration. When any member 

 felt that anything was lacking, or could suggest any im- 

 provement to the Society, he hoped he would not hesitate 

 to move in the matter and bring it up for consideration. 



The Treasurer laid over the Financial Statement and 

 Balance Sheet of the Society, &c., for 1889, showing a 

 net balance in favour of the Society of $1,038 07 

 (annexed). Mr. Conyers said that the amount in hand 

 would all be required during the present year for repairs 

 and painting.
