82 Report of the Meetings for 1892. 



meetings had been enjoyed. He should also like to thank the 

 gentlemen in the North of England and South of Scotland who 

 had received the Club and dispensed their hospitality. (Applause.) 

 He was glad to notice one of these — Major Browne of Callaly 

 Castle — present at the meeting that day. The thanks of the 

 Club were no less due to the ladies of the houses where they were 

 received. The gentlemen might have been at considerable 

 trouble, but he did not think that was commensurate with the 

 trouble the ladies must have had. (Applause.) 



ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. 



The President said it now fell to him to propose for the 

 acceptance of the Club, the name of Capt. Carr-Ellison as 

 President for the ensuing year. (Applause.) He was sorry 

 that Capt. Carr-Ellison was not there, and that he had not had 

 the pleasure of seeing him, but from what he heard he was 

 likely to be an excellent President. Capt. Carr-Ellison had 

 pronounced antiquarian tastes, and he was qualified to discharge 

 the duties that pertained to the office. (Applause.) 



Sir William Crossman seconded the motion, which was agreed 

 to. The Secretary said he had a letter from Capt. Carr-Ellison 

 saying that he would accept the ofl&ce. 



FIELD MEETINGS. 



The Secretary read over a list of the field meetings held 

 during the past year, and stated that, owing to the time spent 

 at the mansions at which the Club had been received, little time 

 was left for work during the visits.
