other bodies, the Corporation, the Harbour Board — in fact all 

 the official bodies — would lend their support in endeavouring 

 to have the English time established in Ireland. It could not 

 be done well before May 1897, and would probably require an 

 Act of Parliament. 



Mr. Young — I believe I voice the opinions of those present 

 when I say that we have enjoyed a highly educational treat this 

 evening. I have much pleasure in seconding Mr. Jaife's motion 

 that our best thanks be given to the lecturer. 



Mr. Kelly — I esteem it an honour to have the opportunity 

 of lecturing before the members of the Belfast Natural History 

 and Philosophical Society. I am exceedingly pleased to think 

 that my lecture has been so well appreciated. It is the first 

 time I have given this lecture, and as our chairman has very 

 truly said there is a considerable amount of labour connected 

 with it, but to me it is a labour of love. With regard to the 

 reference Mr. Jaffe made to Mr. Wilson, I have already thanked 

 that gentleman privately, but I now take the opportunity of 

 doing so publicly, for his kindness in presenting me with two 

 of his lantern slides. I agree with Mr. Jaffe that universal time 

 would be a most desirable thing. I sincerely hope the matter 

 will be taken up by this Society and the leading public bodies 

 with the view of bringing about the desired reform.
