REPORT OF COMMITTEE FOR 1907.* 
Your Committee has much pleasure in presenting the 
Second Annual Report. 
The following office-bearers were elected at the Annual 
Meeting, held on 25th January, 1907, viz. : — President, 
Henry Tryon ; Vice-President, J. Shirley, B.Sc.; Committee,

and S. B. J. Skertchly ; Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, 
C. W. Holland ; Hon. Excursion Secretary, G. Caldwell. 
Mr. Caldwell was unfortunately prevented from acting 
in the capacity of Excursion Secretary, and his place was 
taken by Mr. W. T. Woolley, but he also was, later in the 
year, compelled to relinquish the post. The responsible 
duties of this office, under these circumstances, devolved 
on the Hon. Secretary. 
An alteration of the Rules providing for the addition 
of the Immediate Past President and two extra members 
to the Committee has been made. In accordance with 
this alteration, two ladies (Miss A. Hardgrove and Miss D. 
Sutton) were appointed to the Committee at the end of 
October, after having been nominated for the position by 
a general meeting of lady members. 
Eight meetings of the Committee were held, and the 
attendances were as follows : — Mr. Tryon, 8 ; Mr. Shirley, 
7 ; Mr. Gross, 7 ; Mr. Skertchly, 7 ; Mr. Hurworth, 6 ; 
Mr. Johnston, 5 ; Mr. Exley, 4 ; Mr, Woolley, 3 ; Miss 
Hardgrove, 1 ; Miss Sutton, 1 ; Mr. Caldwell, 1.

of the year 107 members ; 14 have left Brisbane or resigned ;
