Capt. A. E. Hodgins briedy Introduced the new President to the members expressteg the pleasure and the honour they felt in wel coming such a dialogulshed member of the Profession among them.

The late President of the Association (Captain Ashton) had said that the Brits nation ought for many reasons, to support the British officer as against the foreigner, though the one might he just as good as the other. He (Capt Tillen) thought the foreigner was not by very long way as good. (Loud applause) The only reason for employing foreigners was that they
