On the motion of Mr McCaskill, Mr D. Henry was unanimously re-elected president of the club.

From the above Messrs Scannell and Rothwell were elected vice-presidents. Mr Scannell, as an old vice-president, returned thanks for the honor. The chairman regretted to state that Mr A. S. Jenkins, the secretary, was about to leave the district, a matter which they would all regret. It would, therefore, be necessary to elect a secretary in his place. On the motion of Mr A. Clinch, seconded by Mr Morton, —“Mr D. McCaskill was elected secretary, and Mr M. Scannell treasurer.” Mr Jenkins thanked members for the courtesy they -had shown him. It had been a somewhat uphill game, but he believed there was a good future for the society, and he considered in electing Mr McCaskill to the position they had done the right thing. He wished the society every success. Members expressed their regret that they were to lose Mr Jenkins’s services, » and wished him all good fortune in his new sphere of action.
