the a...~atiod' of the' two club/l was
euggestea in ' connq,uence of the action
of the- mifitart. ,it was said tbat
it was · impossible.
and - tbat
it
the 1 amalcould . not · last. - But
,amation had ;afforded gteat · satisf;lrtion to those eonccrned in the matter,
and it only showed what pleasure' ~!>lIld
be got out of this old world of theil, if
men would only agree t9., sink their
differences and)N1l togetller for. a common object. -. He did not think. any eommittce codld halie' 'wodr~ 'more: ' amicably together-, aDd he 6ffer-~his sincere
thanb. . particularly to' the Glad&tone
Chib cODtiDtreDt .of ·the comuiittee,- for
tbe w';iy they rallied round him. , It was
an 'experielKe be. 'wou~ not ba.ve missed.
He was sure the expenence laIDed-would
stand the committees of both clubs in
8'~. stead in the future.
Mr. W. J.
onger ·then presented the
financial' Slatetnent, showing that a substantial balance bad been' equally divided
between the two clubs.
Mr. P~h said it gave him unqualified
pleasure to molle tbe adoption of the "excellent tinam:ial statement. It Was
pointed out" to the-milita'i'y representative
that it 'I\'ould be a' great inconvenience to
the six ' hundred membe'is of - the twp
clubs to clo~e their doors, but when the
colonel suggested that they snould unite
together and lUn Ol-' joint club he was
astoundei!. . , He realised, however, tbat
it was an Cl[cellent business proposition.
and so it had ,.c>ved. ..... The amount
received by the clubs would be ex~eed­
in~ly useful in carrying out n cessary reparrs.
MoreQver. they hid
made
friendsbips wbich otherwise they would
not bave made, and he boped they would
1)e of a lasting d:aracter" All the members had shown themselves to be gentlemen and men to the backbone; he was
proud as a Salisburyite to. recognise t!:tat
fact. He hoped those pleasant aSS(X:lations . ·oold be continued for many
years.

Mr. 1. isM "

had said: Everyone had .,rbd amic·
ably together,- and ~rytlriJJg had &'ODe
off very satisfac\orilY'. and he hooled
that 'would Qot be the -'last meeting they
would h.ave like lb~t·.

The CbairPlan eapressed the members'
indebtedD~ss to '~be two secretaries.
An excellent pr'ognmDle was sustained
