Which report, on motion of Mr. Eaton, was approved by the unanimous 
vote of the Society. 
The Secretary called attention to the fact that at the last annual meeting, 
Mr. Eaton gave notice of an intention to offer at this meeting an amendment 
to Article III of Constitution, by virtue of which the number of Vice Presi¬ 
dents of the Society, after the adoption of said amendment, would be two, 
instead of six, the number last elected. 
By request of Mr. Eaton, the President declared said amendment before 
the Society. 
Mr. Eaton advocated it on the grounds of efficiency and economy and 
moved its adoption: which motion, after considerable discussion, in which 
Messrs. Vilas, Hinkley, Eaton, Hastings and Hoyt took part, was adopted by 
a two-thirds vote. 
The Secretary gave notice, that in consideration of several defects in the 
Constitution not remedied by the amendment just adopted, he had been re¬ 
quested to make a careful revision of the same in all its parts nd apresent the re¬ 
sult to this meeting. He then read the Constition as it would stand when all 
the proposed amendments were incorporated and placed a copy thereof on 
file with the view of bringing it before the Society at the next Annual Meet¬ 
ing. 
On motion, the Society then adjourned sine die.
