The toast of the guests was proposed by the vice-president, Mr. S. Learning, and was responded to by Mr. F. W. Petterd. "Past and Present Officers" was proposed by Mr. A. D. Bruce, Mr. J. Graham responding. "Country Members" was proposed by the secretary, Mr. F. A. Cleveland, the response being made by Mr. G. Rundle, of Hamilton. The toast of the "Newspaper Proprietors' Association," proposed by Mr. D. Macfarlane, was responded to by Mr. G. C. Codlin.
