On the motion of the chairman, the annual report and balance sheet, already published, were adopted. j The trustees retiring this year were Messrs W. Burnett and W. T." Talboys. The Chairman eaid he was sorry to have noticed in the press that Mr Burnett would not be a candidate on this occasion. Mr Burnett had served on the board far eight years, during -which time h© had taken a great interest in the in- j stitution, and had regularly attended the ' weekly meetings.
