He then reed the list of honorary subscribers. It

sufficient proof of its value, for otherwise it would
not have continued through the storms and rioisaitudat
of so long a period. He would de bin host to get new
members, and he trusted all *meld use their efforts for
the same end. He wothi add that Mr. Thomson and
Dr. Rhodes, in addition to their usual subscription*,

The CHAIRMAN then proposed, and Mr. RISHER

The aided loyal and patriotic toasts were then pro.
pieta by the Outman and duly responded to.
The eit.tran*s then gave the health of Dr. Rhodes,
not forgetting their old friend Dr. Fox- (musical

Dr. RHODEN oongratulatea them on the very satis-
factory state of their amounts, and no less satiefactory
was it to notice that their medical offieeet services had
been very little required during the past year (hear,
hear). It might, however, eventually be a matter of
consideration for the club, whether or not it was worth
their while to amalgamate with another society. Their
numbers did not increase very largely. They were
all getting elder of course, and as they advanced in
years. they were visited with an accompanying accession
of maladies, and consequently the pay of the sick
members was augmented, and it would-be very hard for
the members who had been paying subscriptions,
annually, monthly, or weekly, by and bye, when they
reached a greater age, to find that their stock of funds
was on the decline. He would add that if they had
any idea of amalgamation, be was in a position to say
there would be no difficulty in uniting themselves to
the Dorset Friendly Society, which was a well-
established and flourishing institution.

in the way.

Mr. POTHICARY returned thanks. The suggestion
which fell from Dr. Rhodes was worthy their considera-
tion. If they amalgamated with the Dorset Friendly
Society they had a good guarantee that their affairs
would be set straight, if the club would hand over their
balance. He would suggest that at their next meeting
the subject should be token into consideration-

(applause).
Pr. Ittionius proposed the health of the President
(obeers).

The CHAIKWAS responded, and said he thought the
question of amalagation was well worthy of
consideration.

Mr. Ragas proposed the health of W. Thompson,
Esq. (musical honours).
Several other toasts, including that of the "Mayor
and Corporation," were given and duly rimpouded to,
and the remainder of the stunting woe spent in social
enjoyment.
