Gentlemen, 



Befoee resigning my office, as your President, and giving a 

 detailed account of the different meetings held by .the Club 

 this year, I must express to you my grateful thanks for 

 having placed me in this honourable position, which was 

 most unexpected on my part; and I also thank you for your 

 kindness and hospitality shown to me during my year of 

 office. I much regret that I was unable to attend the annual 

 meeting last year at Kelso, and the first meeting this year, 

 being at the time at Hastings ; but thanks to our excellent 

 and most painstaking secretaries, I am able to give an 

 account of those days' proceedings from their copious notes. 

 Without further preface I shall take up the proceedings of 

 the Club. 



On Thursday, 25th September, 1874, the final meeting of 

 the Club for the season was held at Kelso, when there was 

 a large attendance of members. By the kind invitation of
