On the motion of Mr. Wm. Swanston, F.G.S., seconded by 

 Mr. Daniel M'Kee, Mr. John Vinycomb, F.R.S.A.I., was elected 

 President for the ensuing year. 



The retiring President, rising, said that his duties had now 

 ended. He thanked the members for their courtesy and 

 assistance during his term of office, and had great pleasure and 

 confidence in resigning his post to an old and tried member of 

 the Club like Mr. Vinycomb. 



Mr. Vinycomb, in taking the chair amid applause, thanked 

 the meeting for the honour they had done him in selecting 

 him to fill the office of President. 



Mr. Wm. Swanston, F.G.S., was then elected Vice-President; 

 Mr. W. H. Phillips, F.R.H.S., Treasurer; and Messrs. R. 

 Lloyd Praeger, B.E., M.R.I.A., and Francis Joseph Bigger, 

 Secretaries. 



Mr. Wm. Gray, M.R.I.A., moved, and Mr. Geo. Donaldson 

 seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. F. W. Lockwood for his 

 valuable services as Secretary during the period of the past 

 eleven years, to which 



Mr. Lockwood suitably replied. 



The Committee, with some slight changes, were re-elected, 

 and the receiving of suggestions for places to be visited on the 

 summer excursions, an exhibition of a rare bird — an albino 

 twite or mountain finch — captured near Ballymena, and an 

 examination of the prize collections, brought the proceedings 

 to a close.
