Turning to the accounts «our balance sheet is still in a healthy state. Calls for charity and for assistance are again less than the

The J. R. M. Smith Scholarship was awarded this year to whom we congratulate on his success.

DR. MACGOWN'S SPEECH Dr. J. C. Macgown addressing the meeting sald:-

Gentlemen. In the absence of our President, Mr. MacKichan, it devolves on me to render an ac- count of the activities of the Society during the past year. It is with regret, that we have to record the deaths of two past

VOLUNTEERS.

It is usual on,, this occasion to make mention of the Scottish Company of the Volunteers. I regret to say that their numbers have dwindled considerably. It is not in keeping with the traditions i of our country that we should be fence Corps, and I now make an so fcebly represented in the De- to do his bt and join up. With every country in the world rearing, it is more important now to have the Volunteers at full strength than it has been for many a year.

I have a letter from, Mr. Mac- Kichal. In which he asks me to apologise for his absence and to thank the Committee and Mem- bers for the great honour they did him in electing him Chieftain for the last year. He also wishes to thank everybody for their sup- port and particularly Messrs. Bryden and Robb who have given up so much time to the work of the Society.

With these remarks, Gentlemen, I beg to propose the adoption of" the Report and Accounts for the Past Year, This was carried unanimously,
