1 . The Chairman , before beginning the Proceedings , expressed 

 his own regret and that of the Meeting that the Patron of 

 the Society, His Excellency the Governor, was not with them, as 

 he had fully intended to be. His Excellency's Private Secretary 

 had sent a telegram from Hambantota to the Secretary of the 

 Society, stating that owing to the arrival of the Duke of Connaught 

 on Sunday, instead of Monday, the Governor regretted that he 

 must go to Kandy on the 14th, and could not, therefore, preside 

 at the Meeting of the Society on the 15th. That explained His 

 Excellency's absence. 



2. Mr. G. A. Joseph read the Minutes of the previous General 

 Meeting held on December 11, 1906, which were confirmed. 



3. Mr. Harward read a letter from Mr. E. Alison, on 

 behalf of Lady Ashmore, thanking His Excellency Sir Henry 

 Blake, Patron, and the Members of the Society for its vote of 

 condolence with her on the death of her husband, the late Sir 

 Alexander Ashmore.
