THE ENGINEERS” INSTITUTE.
APPEAL FOR MORE MEMBERS.
I now formally move the nucption of the report and balance sheet ne presented and, when the motion has been duly seconded, I shall be glad to answer any question to the best of my ability.'
M. E W. Blackmore read, a letter from the Directors of the SOUND FINANCIAL POSITION Hong Kong Electric Company invit
ing the members of the institute to visit the Company's new installation at North Point on April 10.
MR. R. M. DYER ELECTED· PRESIDENT.
At the annual general meeting of the Engineers' and Shipbuilders Institute last night, the Chairman said that their loss on working was $1,300 compared with 83,700 the previous year. The last quarter of the year, however, show a profit of
$300,
The Chairman appealed to mem- bers to get as many people to join as possible that was the chief need. The lease for the present promises expires in 1831, and this matter is already receiving atten-
tion.
CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH. Addressing the meeting the Chair- man said
You will note that during the year we have sustained a loss on working of 81,316.93 as compared with a loss in the previous year of $3,750.05 being an improvement of 82.433.02, which, if not entirely satisfactory, is at least a step in the right direction.
That step appears the more solid when it is pointed out that of that loss of $1,318.03 a sum of $800 has been written off the cost of the very necessary re-decoration of the pre- mises, leaving the remaining $800 to be written off this year.
There is another point in the im- portant matter of working expenses which I think and hope is a har | binger of better times ahead; I refer to the fact that the 4th quarter of the year. taken alone, showed a prost of $306.54.
Sound Easarven.
Our reserves have, of course, been depleted in meeting our loss on working and this ability to meet the Toss is, I submit, a perfect-an- swer to those who think, and have iaid, that our reserves are too big for our needs; for, not only do they enable us to meet our loss without dismay, but have also provided the very useful sum of $1,879.39 in the way of interest to help us over the rough part of our journey.
I would digress for a moment to pat on record the yeoman service rendered by our Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Martin, to the Managing Com- mittee in his constant and unremit ting care and explicit advice on all matters of finance. He leaves us for a while to take a well deserved Home leave and we sincerely wish him a most enjoyable holiday and
safe return..

WHAT IS CRUELTY

He was ready to offer $1,000, to assist asked witness not 'to confine his the Institution, and asked the views to the present case. Committee to consider his offer
Mn Taylor replied that the offer. The Magistrate then put to wit- would be dealt with by the in-com-ness the various methods of carry- ing Committee and at the same time "ing a chicken and sought his views expressed his thanks to Mr. Harper as one who could speak from a for his generosity.
Election of Officers,
Mr. L. J. Blackburn said that he had great pleasure in proposing Mr. R. M. Dyer for the position of President during the incoming year, and Mr. Dyer had expressed his willingness to stand for the post. Mr. Blackburn remarked, that the incoming year would he a serious one as, among other things, ar- rangements for a new lease of the present premises had to be obtain ed. Mr. Dyer had always taken a keen interest in the Institution, not only putting in a kind word to the landlord last year (which saved the Institution 100 each month in rent), but he had also assisted in supplying the decorations for fes tive occasions, additions to the bar-room decorations, and new lamp
knowledge of the anatomy of birds.
· Mr. Mackenzie's Views. Witness replied that a great deal depended on the degree, and said, that the method of tying chickens by the wings was cruel. The best way would be to support the bird on the hand with its legs between the fingers. As regards carrying it by the wings (untied), witness re- plied that it all depended on the distance carried. If carried only i for a short distance, there would be.
certain amount of discomfort but no actual cruelty.
As regards the present case, it would be a little suffering: he would the wings were loosely tied there not, however, call that cruelty. On the other hand, if the wings were
shades for the billiard tables. As the Lastitution was asking for newtied tightly, then there would be engineers to join the Club,, Mr. a good deal of suffering. Dyer could give the material assist- ance in this point and also in mak- ing the Institution more prosperous. The proposal was seconded by Mr. J. Ormiston and carried unani- mously.
Vice-Presidents,
Lacon were elected Vice-Presidents Mr. G. F. Taylor and Mr. B. J. of the Institution. Mr. E. W. Black- more was elected Hon. Secretary on the proposal of Mr. W. Stokes, and Mr. G. E. F. Thomson. as Hon. Treasurer on the proposal of Mr. A. J. Martin.
Mr. WJ, Stokes, proposed the election of. Mr. H. R. Latham to the post of" Hon. Librarian" because he was a grent book lover and had presented numerous books to the Library, and, in addition, as a member of the Royal Engineers Society could give technical assist ance when necessary,
Mr. Latham was elected unani- mously.

Redecoration and Renovation.
In addition to the re-decoration of the premises last year, a con siderable amount of renovation of our furniture and appointments is now under way; much of this is already in evidence and I think you will agree with me that results up to date call for a very hearty appre ciation of the labours of our House Committee for the splendid show they have already made, under the severo handicap of the continual cry of economy which meets every pro position they make.
