who would better promote the interests of the club in
every respect them Mr. Bates; and therefore proposed

th it their old friend Mr. Chapman Saunders be re-
electel to occupy the viee-oheir. Hilted very efficiently
supported the President, and filled the position in a
manner highly advantageous to the club—he might
almost say it was impossible for the club to get on
without him (boar, Mr. Sly cordially ascended
the proposition, sad it was serried. Mr. Chapman
Saunders thanked them for the confidence ;Aimed in
him, and though he should have been pleased for the
club to have appointed some other member who would
have fulfilled the duties of Vice-Presidency better, he
should always do his best to support the club, and
promote Be objects. On the motion of Ur. Sly seconded
by Mr. Chapman Saunders, the Secretary (Mr. Riandall)
was thanked for his past efficient services, and requested
to continuo in office for the ensuing year. The cordial
unanimity with which the motion was passed made It
Irresistible, and Mr. Randall atunimmed and thanked
them for lie oore?liment. The annual dining was fixed
for the 25th January at 3.30 p.m. The Secretary an-
nonnoed the receipt of a lumber of copies of an
" Analysis of Matures" from the Dorchester Farmers'
Club, which will be distributed amongst the members.
The fixture of papers for the ensuing session was the
next bunness, and several subjects were 'arranged. So
much time bad been occupied, that, at the request of
the members present, Mr, Chapman Saunders deferred
his paper on "Place work v. Day work," to the first
meeting of the next session, The Chairman having
been thanked for presiding, the business terminated.
