INAUGURATION OF THE GERMAN

That of which alone I would be proud is that I am fortunate enough to be president of This Club..

Mr Hulso said :-Gentlemen, I beg your attention for a few moments and I hope you will excuse the liberty 1. take in addressing you, when you take futó consideration the toast I am about to propose.

Mr Wade had a visit from Tenng-how, who talked very rationally on public matters, and alluded to a passage in the classics, which says that, ↑ When a system has been too long in operation, it becomes worn out, and requires modification to enable it to endure," he remarked, our system is of that nature, and requires modification and change to enable it to contilive,a very sensible and pertinent observation."
