THE TEACHING OF MECHANICS BY EXPERIMENT. 
I would like before sitting down to thank Major Abdy for his kindness in 
struggling with a very fractious lantern during these experiments. It has given 
him a great deal of trouble and has possibly caused a certain amount of annoyance 
to the audience as well, but we are all grateful to him for the trouble he has 
taken to make it work right at last. 
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks tendered by the Chairman in 
the name of all present and carried with applause.
