ANNUAL MEETING. 



25 



Alderman Dorrington proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. 

 lago for his papers ; to the donors to the museum and library ; 

 and to the President for the portrait of Mr. Henwood. 



Canon Moor, in seconding, congratulated Mr. Enys on his 

 election to the presidential chair, and referred to the deep 

 interest which Mr. Enys's grandfather, Mr. Davies Gilbert, 

 together with Sir Charles Lemon and others, took in the Insti- 

 tution and other local movements. Having acknowledged the 

 Institution's indebtedness to Mr. lago, Canon Moor expressed his 

 sincere regret at the absence of their admirable secretary, Major 

 Parkyn. In Major Parkyn's absence he felt free to say more than 

 he could say to his face in reference to the wonderful benefit 

 which his secretariat had been to the Institution. With great 

 patience and untiring energy, he had fulfilled the duties of his 

 office — often very onerous duties — and they owed him more than 

 they could express for all that he had done. Canon Moor also 

 made kindly allusions to Mr. H. Michell Whitley, who had been 

 Major Parkyn's colleague in the secretariat for many years, and 

 had jnst resigned the position. He had ably and thoroughly 

 followed in the steps of his father, Mr. N. Whitley, and was a 

 valuable and valued friend of the Institution. 



The resolution was carried, and briefly acknowledged by 

 the President. 



Mr. lago mentioned that the Council, in adjudicating on the 

 papers sent in for the medal, regarded that written by Mr. 

 Thomas Clark as being worthy of mention with special com- 

 mendation ; and in recognition of it they had resolved to make 

 Mr. Clark an Associate. 



This concluded the proceedings.
