Gentlemen—Before taking. up the regular business before this meeting 1 feel it devolves me to to the very sad event which has recently taken place in these build ings. 1 refer to the loss of our friend and colleague on the Committee—Inspector Moore, whom you all knew and respected for his sterling qualities and particularly his keenness all matters pertaising to the Rowing Club, For many years Inspector Moore was connected with this Club and took a very active part in Rowing and the other various activities with the Club. His assistance and advice was always valued by both old and young members and his sudden removal from our midst has easel a blank which it will be hard to fill. "His quiet and unassuming manner made him a friend of all and particularly these young and new members whom ways we willing ta amer nnd instrvet.
To his sorrowing widow and family we extend our heartfelt symrathy and I would ask our Hor Secretary to convey the same rk of respect I would ask you gentlemen to stand for a brief space.
After this tribute had been paid, str, Graham continued: take it that the annual report kas. duly reached you all and that from it you will have now gathered hhow we stand as a Club to-day.
There is little tha I can add to the very comprehensive report, of our Hon. Secretary unless it be that congratulate you on being 30 fortrnate as to have found in Mr. Dewar a very efficient and pain-taking: secretary. In fact the Rowing Club have nearly always had good men to fill his important post the past and [can assure you that the secretary's and treasurer's duties often call for the exereise.of much Patience, tact and good nature as much depends on their work.
