Roberts, commanding the forces in Ireland, by command of H.R.H. The Grand Prior, at the Royal I-Iospital, Kilmainham, Dublin, on August 26th, 1896, for courageous conduct displayed in rescuing a man on the 17th May, 1896, who had deliberately run across the rails and placed himself on the track when an express train was rapidly approaching. Denison immediately jumped down from the platform, l1nd l1fter l1 violent struggle succeeded in dragging him off the track and holding him in l1 position of safety until the train had passed.

A new form of diploma, rendered necessary by the Incorporation of tho Order by ROYl11 Chl1rter, having been finl111y l1pproved, hl1S been issued to those Inembers who have applied for the same, l1lso to those members and l1ssociates to whom the diplomas are presented, whose names hl1ve been enrolled since the year 1888.

A new cl1talogue of the library hl1s been compiled by l\fr. Basil H. Soulsby, B.A., under the direction of the librl1rian, the Rev.

It shows l1 Inarked and gratifying extension of the efforts of the Order in Ino t ilnportant directions, notably in a branch of the work conn cted with H er l\1l1jesty's Education Department and County ouncils. There has ::\'lso been a steady development of work among Rajlway ent,lJloye' by the formation of Railway Centres.

The British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, which was founded and is maintained by the Order, has continued its humanitarian work during the past ycar on an extended scale, and to the great advantage of the patients, who receive fr01n the resident-surgeon all possible attention for the alleviation of their sufferings. A report of the special Conllllittee is annexed to this report, and the confreres are specially invited to give their support to this object. The Hospital has been recently visited by Lord Amherst of Hackney, Colonel T. J. Holland, and ir Andrew and Lady Fairbairn who have reported to the ChaptOl' in the lilO t favourable tenns on the general condition of the Hospital. The Chapter ha to report with satisfaction a handsome donation of £50 frOlll ir Andrew Fairbairn, and of a similar SUln from Lady Fairbairn, in aid of the Hospital ftmds. The Chapter specially wishes to place on record its aclul0wledgment of the valuable services rendered by the Honorary Secretary, 1\fr. R. Gofton-Salmond, to whom a spccial vote of thanks for his continued zeal and energy was recently unanimously passed by the Chapter.

The expenses connected with the Mission House and rooms for the nurse have been defrayed out of donations which have been generously contributed by some of the ladies of the Order, and with the addition of fl1nds collected by the Nursing 'isters of the Metropolitan Corps of the 'to John Ambulance Brigade.

The best thanks of the Almoner's Department are due to 1\1rs. Pitt Draffen and 1\lrs. "\Vyndham Murray, who have, as on for111er occasions, presented hospital and other letters for use by that Department. In connexion with the Almoner's Departlnent it may be mentioned that the St. John Ambulance Association , with the sanction of the Council and Chapter, has undertaken to defray the expense of providing a trained nurse for the sick poor in the Parish of St. John, Clerkenwell, where the Annual Commemoration Services of the Order have been held of late years. It will be recollected that St. John's Gate is situated in this Parish, and that St. John's Church, which stands on the crypt of the old Priory Church, contains the only other fragments of the old buildings. It is a matter of congratulation to the Chapter that the Department is able to afford this assistance to a respected confrere and Chaplain in the Order who has to contend with many difficulties in carrying on the work of his Parish in a very poor part of the Metropolis.

The Receiver-General submits his accounts as certified by the auditors. The Receiver-General wishes to nUl.ke two observations upon the. e accounts. In the first place, notwithstanding the growth of the Invalid Transport Department and the great, and in one sense public utility of this body, it will be observed that it is not self-supporting, it still has to depend upon the support of the General Fund. This W0L11d not be the ca e, if the good work done by this branch of the Order was more generally recognized, and it i . to be hoped the Confreres 'will not lose siaht of this, and will make the e~ristence of the Invalid Transport i Ol·pS , and its advant. ges lllore publicly known. Tho oth l' observation rebtes to the British Ophthalmic lIo 'pitnl at J erl1salem. The Receiver would draw the attention of the ~onfr '1' s to the fact that the Ho pital at Jerusalem i still far fronl beln n self-supporting. The onfreres 'will see with sati. faction the lll,rkecl increase in the amount that there is in the tlonation. and annual S11b. cription Ii t , but this alllount will have to G douGled before the Ho pital come neal' the point of being elt'- upporting. The attention of the onfrere is earnestly direct tl 1, thi fact. Th re is one object which the Order has had in hand which has not yet been attained, viz., the bnildin o' which the 1hapter proposed to make for the convenience of the provincial 11l81nbers of the ~ 'to .r ohn Ambulance Bri ·ade. This object i only for the moment (lelayed, it is not by any ]llanner ot mean abandoned, and the advantao'es of it are too obviou to be further dwelt upon. On the whole the position of the 01' ler i one of great enconragemen t. There is no branch 01' department of the Order in which sub trmtial proOTes ha ' not been made, and the only rea on for drawing the attention of the onfrcr s to tho e matter. in which there till remain room for improvement, i to point out in what way they can as i t in al'l'i,\ring at thc desired Qnd.

TIlE Ollllllittce has now the pleasure of submitting the ninth Rcport on thc -work of thc Ho pitn,l at Jerusalem. Frolll it· commenccmcnt in 1 1, the Hospital has nlade stcady and con'tant proDT' in the e timation alike of the Ordcr, of the public, and f thc patients for -whose benefit it was e tabli h d: and i i gratif)Tin o. to note that it ha received a COITe p nding', dthouo'h till inadequate, increa e of support. It hould be remembered that the Ho pital is the only one of its kind in Palestine, a country in which great sutierioO' and misery are entailed upon the native population by the prevalence and the scycrity of disea e of the cye; that it ministrations recognise no di tinction of race or creed, and that its officials are cxpres ly forbidden to pro elyti e. The hio'h d gree in which it is appreciate 1 by the inhabitants i abundantly hO\,~n by the numucr of applicants for rclief, a number now oTeatly in excess of the re ourcc ither of the out-patient 01' of the in-patient department, and con tantly increl1 ing. It frequently occurs that the doors ha\'e to bc closcd oon after daybreak, and that applicants Ulllounting to an aggreo'ate of many hundreds must afterwards be refused, for lack both of accollllllodation and of surgical assis tance. In order partially to meet the last Inentioned requirem nt, two nurses have been despatched from England, to give help to

the Medical Officer in certain matters of routine which would fall within their capacity; but, in order effectually to carryon the work, it is necessary that another surgeon should be appointed without delay. Several members of the Ord I' have visited the Hospital during the year, and have been unanimous in speaking in the highest terms of the way in which it is conducted by Dr. and Mrs. Oant, as well as in the opinion that n10re surgical power is urgently required. An examination of the appended statistics, will show the increase in the number of pati nts admitted, and cured or relieved; and the Oommittee most earnestly appeal for new annual subscriptions and for donations, to enable them to cope with the demands which they are called upon to meet. It will be seen from the Statement of Account that, in response to the appeal made to members of the Order, £61 1.5s. has b en received in new annual subscriptions, and £162 4 . 6d. in donations; the total income amounting to £479, a compared with £298 for the period ending on the 30th of Sept mber,1 95. The expenditure has also been greater, on account of the abo"\e mentioned nurses and of some other Inatters. The special donations to the Sir Edmund Lechmere Funcl received during the year aJllount to £1,166 6s., including a donation of £1,000 from Katharine, Lady Lechmere. The sum of £1,750 has been invested in India 3} pCI' cent. stock, the income from which will accrue to the H ospital. On the expiration of his leave, Dr. Cant resum d his duties in March last. During his absence, the work of the Ho pital was carried on by Mr. G. H. Pooley, his substitute. The statistical return for the year will be found annexed, an(l the Oommittee earnestly hope that this record of accoInplished good will commend itself alike to the public and to the m Inbers of the Order, to whom they again appeal for the better support of an institution which holds so high a place in its charitable work.

It is gratifyin o. to I' cord that the efforts of the conlmittee with I' ,pect Lo the b Lter orrranization of ambulance work on rail ways have been crowned during the past year with conspicuous ucce s. nder new regulations, briefly referred to in the a1 P ndix of the la t report, arrangements can now be made by which a railway cOlnpany can have a" RAILWAY CEXTRE" for it wh Ie y t81n, although some of the clas es held under such entre may llleet at a town where there already exists a loca.l centre for the geDeral puLlic. In thi case the railway clas e' there held arc limited to its own ernploye. The chief advantages are that the director have the entire control over the ct ses for their own ervants, which can be arranged to

9 meet the special requirements of their peculiar duties. The railway company gets the benefit of the low charges for examinations and reduced di count for stores granted by the head office to centres, and as some member of the railway staff is usually told off to correspond direct with the Chief Secretary, great facilities are afforded for the prompt and early i ue of certificates. The lead in thi direction was taken by the North Eastern Railway, the directors of which have for long taken a great intere t in the work of the A sociation, and have been most liberal in their payments for its furtherance. This Conlpany I'm the first to form a l' 'ular "railway centre," and the example has been already followed by the Great "Vestern Railway and the Great Eastern Railwc y, and negotiations with others of the leading Companies are in proo-ress. Her Royal Highness Princess Christian has become President of the Great "Ve tern Railway Centre. Pm'mis ion has been obtained to repriut at paCTe 22, a circular (1 o. 1730) i ' ned by this Company giving ,aluable information as to the method of carrying out ambulance lectures on railways, and enpccially important as pointing out the neces ity of keeping up the knowledge once acquired. The London and ~ orth "Ye tern and Midland Railways, which for lllany years past hn,ye held ambulance clas es under the As ociation, have afforded 'pecial encouragement by the institution, by the former of a challeno'e shield and prizes to be annually competed for, anc1 by the latter of gold and silver badge. offered by the Directors to tho 0 in their employ who have rendered the most vahmble as i ,tance in cases of accident. Among the many railway amlmlnnce meetings, two of the most interesting have beeD occa ions wh n Lord Charles Beresford presented prizes at the Stratford Town HallIn t Spring to the classes of the Great Eastern Railway, which had already then an aggregate of 840 ofiicer and lllen who had rendered aid in upwards of 900 cases during the y aI', and subsequently when the Right Hon. Sir Arthur Otway, Bart., presided over the eighth presentation to the members of the staff of the London, Brighton and ~ outh Coast Railway, in the Board Room of London Bridge Terminus, numy of the Directors being ~)resent. This Company held another excellent. meeting later in the year, when Lord Harris, G.o. .1., presented some 5UO

certificates, vouchers and medallions at the Freemasons' Tavern. vVork in co-operation with the County Councils has been not only xtended, but placed on a more durable and business-like basis, owing to the ofiiciallnedium of communication being now usually the Director of Technical Education or Organizing Secretary for the County or District, rather than as hitherto the local representative in town and parishes. Increased facilities are thus afforded for cla es on an organized system. This exten. ion i greatly due to the wide circulation of G5,000 copies of a green pamphl t Refer nce " A," containing a hort history of the Order [md it Ambulance Department, and pointing out the mode of formin o ' cla se' under the Technical Education Acts of 1 9-1891, and the Evening ontinuation chools' Code of 1 95. One 1'0.

In the railway competltlOn a handsome silver challenge shield, to be competed for annually by the Railway Companies, will be awarded.

Similar interesting statement have also recently b en made at other police meetings. At Hull, 241 Inembers of the force are certificated, being an increase of 101 on the previous year ; at BirminghaIll 543, out of a force of 670; and at the inspection of the Scarborongh Police, Sir Herbert Croft, Bn,rt., Jnentioned that ou t of the 13,000 men he inspected in the Torthern DisLrict, 8,000 were holders of the certificate. At Dewsbury (Heavy ,Voollen Dis tric t) all the police are now certificated.

An important lecture on " The Convention of Geneva, and the care of the sick and wounded in war," was also delivered by Mr. John Furley, in the Theatre of the Royal nited 'ervice Institution, the Director and Chairman presiding, in which attention was drawn to continued frequent imp10per use by civilians of the Red Cross bn.dge. Many important Ineetings h<1ve also been held in connexion with the 'to John Ambulance Brio-ade, which continues to increase in numbers and efiiciency, and are more particulaTly alluded to in the report of the Commissioner, Colonel E.

FATAL Ac 'IDENTS IN MINE .-A return, prepared by direction of the Home Secretary, has been issued, sho.wing the nu:mber ?f fatal accidents and deaths in the mines and quarnes of the Umted Kmgdom during 1 96. It gives summaries of the fatal accidents and of thedeaths caused thereby in and about the mines worked under the Coal Mines Regulation Act, the Metalliferous J\Iines Regulation Acts, and cc

the Quarries Act respecti vely. Under the first-class the total lives lost were Jess than in the preceding year-I,D] 3 as against 1,0-4:2; and und er the second there was also a decrease-40 as against 54; whilp as rf'gards th e third class there were 124 lives lost Jast year as compared with 102 in the preceding one."

In Sir Charles Seely'S Derbyshire collieries at Tibshelf and Birchwood. a most efficient ambulance service is maintaineJ, and at my last VI it in December the same desire for first aid instruction was shown , as ha.s ever been, und er the able guidance of Mr. Stuart C. "VardelJ. Mrs. 'Vardell also takes great interest in the home nursing in struction of the Association. It is gratitying to have to report the increased interest taken in ambulan ce instruction by our great rail way com panies. The London and orth \Vestern Railway Company held an ambulance competition at Orewe in October for a challenge shield, given by the chairmen and directors. I attended as judge. Twelve teams competed from various sections of the line, from Dowlais in the south to Penrith. in the north. In awarding my deci ion I said, "I consider all the teams able to render efficient first aid, aud careful removal in <.;ase of accident. In a cOm lJ etition, as iu a race: one must win. All Lhe men were most careful in the way in which they did their work, and reflect credit on themsel veg and their inst\'llctur .)) The J.. orth Eastern ! ail way ompany are arranging for a series of competitions in the various eli tricts in.to ~vhich their sy?tem is divide~, and £50 will be awarded to be dlstnbnted a pnzes. In thIS way zeal and interest will be exc ited in ambulance work. I have paid during thA year many vi. its to a num bel' of stations, large and small, on the i\ orth Eastern sy tern, and have found the ambulance arrangements well kept up. The number of personal accident reported to the Board of Trade by the several railway compani s duriug the nine months ending eptember 30th , 1 C> 96, amounts to 7 ' 9 persons killed, a~d. 1~,949 injurd. Th.e Board explains th~t the number of retUl:ns of Il1Junes to servants recel\Ted by the Board ot Trade has been consIderably affectAd by the Order recently made by the Department as regards the mode in which the return are made. "Prior to the issue of this Order some , companies appear to have reported accidents of gravity only; now th ey "are JirecLecl to reI ort all acciJents which prevent a servant injured from " beina employed for five hour on his ordinary work on any of the three " worl~ing days next after the accident. The change in pract,ice has "had the r suIt that a much larger number of returns have been Ii recei v eJ. )) Ir. Robert Johnstone, the rail way engineer at Hirkenhead, reports to me "I have arranaed that one of the cond itions upon which promotion ";ill be aranted the men in my department will be that they have " your As~ociation certificate. I mn t also see that what they acquire is " duly kept up to the mark, so that when the hOllr of need arrives they "can render first aid in a first-class manner." The police force continue to take much interest in all that relates to ambulance work. Colonel 1oorsom, the able Chief Constable for the Lancasbire COLll1ty Police, states that out of a strength of 1, 545 no less than 1 192 hold ambulance certificates to December 31st, 1 96. A large numbe~ of cases have been treated during the year, including restoration of the apparently drowned, stopping bleeding from arteries and varicose veins, putting up broken limbs, rest,oring the apparently suffocated; and

Surgeon-Major Hutton reports :Am bulance work has been well snpported in the mInlDg districts during the year. in a visit to the great coal mining quarter of 'Yigan in D ecember, I was pleased to see so much interest and enthusiasm in first aid instruction among the miners at two meetings I attpnded, for the 'Yigan Coal and Iron Company. The annual competition for the silk banner instituted by Bell Brothers for their extensive collieries in the county of Durham took place in December, and was weH attended, and excited much interest, and a keen contest. In the Midland coal district the work has been well maintained. At the Babbington Collieries, near Nottingham, belonging to Sir Cha.rles Seely, Bart., 1, 500 men have been in structed in am buJance work up to the present time, and in the event of an accident the nearest stretcher in the mine is obt3.ined, and along the line of route over which the stretcher party will pass the electric signals have gone before, and cleared the wayof obstruction s. TheBabbingtonCorps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, under the command of Mr. George Fowler, the able mining engineer of Sir Charles Seely'S Babbington Collieries, was inspected by Lord Loch in July last, and after the men had gone througb an excellent ambulance and stretcher drill, his lordship said" he had been immensely "struck with the appearance of the men, and not only with their appear"ance, but with the manner in which they had performed their drill. "'Vith regard to the special drill for which they were a~sembled, he had " the honour of being on the St. John Ambulance Committee from the "first formation of the institution. He had seen the work carried out "not only in England, in various towns and centres, but also in some of " our great colonies, of which be had bad the honour of being Governor. "In the great colony of South Africa, from whicb he had recently come, "the instruction that the men of the mounted police and infantry, and "the men in the mines round Johannesburg and other places, had recei ved, "had been of the greatest benefit to themselves and their comrades. "There were several instances to which he could call attention with regard " to the great accidents occurring in the Johannesburg mines where the "lives of the men had been saved by th e knowledge and exertions of " their comrades. He was well aware that in the collieries round there: " where accidents had from time to tim e occurred in which they all had "individually assisted, and he believed tbat many lives had been saved, " and great assistance bad been rendered by nearly every individual man " before him. They must feel deeply indebted to Sir Charles Seely and "Mr. George Fowler, and the other gentlemen who had assisted to bring " them to that great state of efficiency, and he begged to congratulate "them most sincerely upon the way in which they had corr.e forward and "voluntarily learned to render first aid."

he says, "I believe these services have been a great advantage to the public, who ought to enco urage such work as much as possible." The ambulance station at th e Royal Agricultural Show, held at Leicester, was open from June 20th to the 26th, when the following cases were treated ;Di 'locations Wounds ... Sprains and

A fully-equipped ambulance station was maintained at the Yorkshire Agricultural Show at York, on July 22nd, 23rd, and 2Hh, when 30 cases were treated. Dr. Chalmers, of York, 'was in charg , and rendered excellent service. Th e 'Virral and Birkenhead Agricultural Society had a similar station at their show in September, at Bidston, when a number of cases were treated. This station was under the able command of Captain Bielby, a gentleman whose zeal in ambulance work is well known in that district. Competitions are becoming more frequent every year. The most notable ! have attended this year have been at Cardiff (dlll'iug the Eisteddfod in October, when 22 teams competed) ; at Peterborough; at Hesselwood, near Hull (for North Eastern Hailway m n); ,Yellingborough; Crewe (for the L ondon and Jorth ,Vestern Railway, already alluded to); Gloucester; and recently at Dundee. In September I attended as a delegate for the St. John Ambulauce Association the Sanitary Congress at r ewcastle-on-Tyne, and took part in the discussions of several of the sections. At a recent visit to Dundee in company of Sir Vincent Barrington a most gratifying feature of our WOI k was demonstrated to us on a visit to their noble hospital. It was pointed out to us by Dr. Raw, the Medical Superintendent, in a large number of accident cases admitted into the hospital from the factories, that first aid had been skilfully rendered by pupils who had been instructed under the rules of the St. J ohn Ambulance Association, and the manner in which the injured were removed to the hospital was highly creditable to the Association's work. The cases of first aid r endered reported to me during the year are too num erous to mention; it is sufficient to state they embrace almost every kind of injury in th e mine, on the railway, the factory, and indeed in all the various industries, both large and small, throughout the country.

In the British Colonial possessions and in foreign countries, satisfactory progress continues. This is especially llln,rked in Canada, thanks to Deputy-Surgeon-General G. '. Ryerson, and in South Africa. The valuable services rendered by the Active Service Department of the St. John Anlbubnce Brigade, briefly

The Committee has at length received the diploma and bronze medal awarded for its exhibits by the ,Vorld' c.;olumuian Exposition" at Chicago in the year 1893. It may be interesting to record that the Deputy-Ohair1l1fm, Sir Vincent Barrington, during his recent Illission to V nezuela, organized a system of first aid clas es at the capital, Caracas, held under the auspices of the Venezuelan Red Cross 'ociety, of which he was founder and president. The fir t cour e was given at the University by its Rector, Dr. R. VIllavicencio, and was attended by members of that body and a d tachment of police. This was followed by a course at the station of the La Guaira and Oaracas Railway COlllpany for its employes given by Dr. A. Risquez, the Vice-Rector of the Univer. ity. The syllabus used was a translation of that of the Association, for the u . e of which the official acknowledgment and thanks of the R d Cross Society were conveyed to the St. John AIllbulance As.ociati n. The President of Venezuela, General Crespo, gave his hearty support to the extension of the anluulance movement to Venezuela, and through his diplomatic representatives is encouraging its further extension among neighbouring repnulics. Numerous cases are reported, sonletimes almost daily, 'w here first aid has been efficiently rendered. The following instance extracted from a letter, dated lIth November, 189G, from Dr. Henry J. Jeilson, of Bulwell, Nottingham, whose lectures had been attended by the man in question, d serves special mention :(C

A man named Tucker, employed by the Midland Rail way Co., "vas run over by some waggons, and received a compound comminuted fracture of the thigh, the femoral artery being injured. His comrade!

a "num "?er take:," named TVilliam Al/reel Smith, promptly controlled the arterla~ bleedmg by means of .an in:provi~ed tourniquet in the shape of an ordmary towel, put the .1Imb m splmts, and had the patient carefully conveyed to the N ottlogham General Hospital. 'When the hou~e surgeon to?k off the tour~iq~et the artery commenced to spurt agall1, and h.e s~ld that the ~an :) hfe ha~ been certainly saved by the prompt applIcatIOn of first aId, for otherWIse the patient must have bleu to death 10 less than twenty minutes. These facts have been communicated to the Midland Railway 00., and they have awarded Smith a silver medal.

At a recent lllOeting of the cc Bolton and District Humane Society," which is connected with the local ambulance Centre , four of the award 'were lnade to men who had received the t. J ~hn ?~r~ificate,. an~ in each case life was saved by a knowledge of artlficwl resplI'atlOn. As an instance of the interest taken by SOJlle employer of labour in the acquisition of this important knol'dCllae, it may be mentioned here that the Directors of the l etropolitan :ra ' Lirrht and oke Oompany aive a bonus of ten shillinas to Y ry man at hea lquarters who gets the certificate of the it. John Ambulance A' ociation. THE I T Y~\LTD TR.L\ r SPORT CORP. ' has during the past year removed U50 patients, an increase of 50 cases over the previous ,Year. As III ntion d in the report of last year the Department now po se .. )s its own horses, 'w ith the result that it is in a po ition to remove gratuitou ly a larae number of pOOl' patients who e llleam; are totally inadequate to pay even a minimum fee. The lllethocl adopted in the e a e is that the patient must l:rocluce lett rs from the lnec1ical man in charge of the case, and from a clergyman l' iclent in the parish certifying that the patient's means are such a to ntitle him or her to special conuggested some few year' ince that a sideration. It wa Samaritan Fund, uch as is formed in connection with many hospital " should be inn.uguratecl in connection with the Department with the object of a isting in the gratuitous rellloval of pOOl' patients. If some such fund could be arranged it would be of great service, as a h rge number of really deserving and necessitous pOol' hesitate to avail thems lves of the services of the Corps, inasmuch as to secure tho special considera.tion referred Lo, they Blust to an extent plead actual poverty. The staff can, as a rule, determine as to the genuine character of any

20 case where this special concession should be mndo, but the lack of funds at command oft-times precludes this being grnnted snvo under the conditions laid down here. It lllay be mentioned that many of the leading London hospitnls largely avail themselves of the services of the Transport Corps, for the purpose of conveying patients, both to and from their respective hospitnls. Among the principal removals carried out during the past year may be mentioned Clovelly (North Devon) to London, Freshwater to London, Seaford to Maidenhead, Clifton to Reigato, Margate to Robertsbridge (2), and London to Beethmn (\Yestmoreland). ,Vith regnrd to the removal of invalids by rail-the journey at times involving change of cnrriages-it cnnnot be too strongly impressed upon tho officers of local corps or diyisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, that this work is purely the province of the Invalid Transport Corps, which, pos os ing a staff of fully-trained attendants engnO'ed almo ' t daily in moving invalids, both at horne and abroad, i' alone cOlnpetont to undertake removals of this chnracter. ST. PAUL'S AMBULANCE STATIO.!. .-Since the publica Lion of last year's report 360 cases have been treated at this ~ 'tntion, nn increase of 73 over the previous year's record.

AMBULANCE CLASSES IN CONNECTION WITil TilE

ST. JOHN AMBULANOE ASSOOIATION. (GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY CENTRE).

I have pleasure in stating that with a view to furth er encourage the formation of ambulance classes amongst the Staff, the Directors [subject to certain conditions] have agreed to defray reasonable expenses incurred ill the establishment and maintenance of such classes. This will include the provision of articles needed for the working of the classes and the paymenb of Lecturers' and Examiners' fees.

3. The Local Secretary of a class will apply to the Sectional Storekeeper three days prior to the date Oll which a class 'will be held for whatever appliances are required" a~d be ~ust see th~t the. whole are returned in proper order to the SectIOnal :storekeeper ImmedIately after the Lecture or Examination has been completed.

4. In order to meet any emergency, keys of the box or room containinO" the complete sets of appliances will be supplied to the head of each depa.rtment, the Sectional Storekeeper, and the Local Secretary of each class, in the ection. A stock of such articles as bandages, splints, &c.} will be kept by the Local Secretaries who must record, and be in a position to account for the disposa.l of such articles, and also order new supplies as required from the ectional Storekeeper. 5. The classes may, by arrangement with the head of .the department be held in a Btation 'Vaiting Room, or other sUltable room belO1;(finO" to the 'ompany, who will also provide writing materials for the u~e gf the members at the examinations.

Mr. ,V. H. Maunder, Paddington, will be "Centre Secretary" for organizing the ambulance work throughoub the Company's system.

G. The ordinary in truction in the St. John Ambulance work ccnsists of a, course of not less than five lectures and practices, followed by examination. fembers who have attended at lea. t four lecture, and sncce. fully pa sed the Examiner, will receive a cer~ificate from the St. John Am bu1ance A sociation, and al 0 a badge prOVided free of cost by the Company. The examination will be conducted by an Examiner of tho St. John Ambulance ssociatioll.

1. Members of the Oompany's Stnff desirous of forming an Ambulance Class must apply to the Oentre Secretary, the application to contain not less than twelve signatures of intendiug members. In the event of a class being approved and established the following regu· lations will be observed : (a) A Local Honorary Secretary, who must be approvl,d by the Centre Secretary, to be chosen from among t the members forming each class. (b) The Local Secretary to send to the Centre Secretary a statement showing the names, occupation, department, and addresses of the members, together with a summary of the arrangements which have been made in connection with the formation of the new class. The Secretaries of existin g classes to send similar information in respect of such classes, and the ad vice to the Centre Secretary must show which members have obtained certificates and what examinations each has passed.

7. The Directors hope that members of classes, who have passed the first examination, will keep up their knowledge, and l?erfect themselves in ambulance work by periodical practices extendlllg over the two following years. ~t t.he end of e:tch complete. year, f:om the ~ate. of the previous examlllatIOn, they w111 be l' ~examll1cd. uch e~amll1atIOn will consist of practical work and (lue tIOns on thf' fir t aId syllabus of the Association' and the result shoultl prove that the knowledge acquir d in the f1r~t course i not forgot~en. The re-examination should be perform tl by a suitable local medical man, or by the t. John Ambulance Examiner if a <.:lass is being held. 1embcr , who pass the ec;oncl and t!1ird ex.aminations of the. t. John Ambulance course succes. fully, WIll receIve after the secoud examinatioll a voncher which i supplied gnttuitously by the Association and ai'ter the third xamination, they will be entitled to the med'alli01~ of the t. John Ambulance A ociation, which will be presented by and at the exp 118e of the Company.

2. Complete sets of appliances will be furnished for each section (formed as per Olause 8 of this Circular), and be under the charge of Sectional Storekeepers appointed by the Centre Secretary. The Sectional Storekeepers will be responsible for seeing the articles are kept clean and in good condition.

8. To induce members Iyho hav passed the third examinat~ol~ to keep up the knowledge they hav gained in the \~0.rk of the As.ociatIOn, the Directors have in tituted a series of compeLltIOns, and WIll award prizes to the successful competitors. Ii or this purposo ". 'ection "will be formed as und er; and each . 1as

in a Section will be entitled to send five members who have passed the three examinations and have been selected by the class Lecturer at a class competition.

employed, provided their duties can be arranged during tbeir absence. The Head of the Department will issue the passes. Passes will be allowed for Lecturers and Examiners to attend ambulance classes and competitions. Application for the same must be made by the Local Secretary [through the C'3ntre Secretary] four days before they are required, in order tbat applications may be made for them to me.

Section

10. A complete register of aU cases of first aid to the injured rendered by members must be kept by each Local Secretary, and a copy sent to the Centre Secretary half-yearly in the months of January and July.

" "

11. Any additional information in regard to the formation of classes, may be obtained on application to the Centre Secretary, wbo will supply the necessary forms of requisition for certificates, badges, stores, and for preparing statements referred to in Clauses 1 and 10 of this Circular, and to whom all accounts must be sent to be certified.

" "

12. It is hoped that the assistance afforded by the Company towards the objects of the St. John Ambulance Association will encourage members of the taff'to attend the classes which may be established more especially as the knowledge thereby gained may probably b~ found to be useful in their homes and domestic relations as well as in connection with the Company's business.

In all, 1 G Sections. An annual competition will take place in each Section, provided that a suitable number of competitors arB available, between:a. Individuals. b. Stretcher Parties. and a series of three prizes will be given in each of these competitions, as follows : -

ANNUAL REPORT. I N making their annual report the Committe~ are pleased to announce that Mr. VV. T. Robertson, who was one of the earliest supporters of the Centre, has most kindly cOllscnted to fill the post of President, vacant by tha lamented death of ou I' first President, 1aj or Newcome. ,Ve have again had a very successful and useful year of work. Two" first aid" classes were held, in that for mell, fifteen, including five policemen and three railway-men: were examined and all passed . In the class for women eleven were examined and all passed . T he certificates were presented to the policemen by the Chairman of the Aluershot Bench, Colonel Birch . Of the services relldered by m emuers, one case calls for especial notice. It was a case of attempted suicide by hanging in a cell at th e police station. Th e man having been discovered before life was extinct, he was cut down, anu artificial respiration successfully performed by P.C. Whitehorn, who received his instruction in "first aid" at our classes. He was publicly congratulated by the magistrate:-:; on the success of his treatment. Mr. Brake kindly gave a (lonation of £1 for the removal of a patient from North Town to Guildford Hospital. The Comwittpe arc about to purchase two stretchers, one to be kept at the West end, and the other at the Ash Hoau end of the town, and thpy hope before long to be in a position to replace the present litter hy a horse il.mbulance. In conclusion, th e Committee take the opportunity of thanking the Mndical Staff and Secretaries for their valuable servi ces.

REPORT.

THE report of the Hon. Secretaries (Mr. D. Preston and 1\1r. J . IYilkinson), stated that the work of the Centre had been carried on very sllccessfully, but they would have been more gratified if the young men of the town and district had taken a deeper interest in the work, and the hope was expressed that more would come forward early in the coming wiuter and form a strong class. Three classes, for females only, had been held during tb e year-two in "nursing" and one in "first aid. " Thirty-five joined, and twenty-one sat for examination, twenty of whom obtained certificates. Six sat for final re-exam ination, and five obtained their medallions. Of the" first aid" dass thirty entered; twenty-six sat for examination, and the whole of 1hem satisfied the examiner, obtaining their certificates. The Secretary regretted that no classes hall been held in the villages during the year, and they would be ph~ased to re11(ler to anyone taking the matter ill hand, all the assistance in their power. Two noteworthy cases of "first aid" rendered i n cases of accident by members (one of WhOUl was Police-constable Heritage) were mentioned. The thanks of the Centre were stated to be due to Drs. Griffin, Raye, and Beattie for their valuable and gratuitous services in connection with the classes; also to Mrs. Day, Mrs. IVebb, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs.

ANNUAL REPORT.

IN submitting the Ninth Annual Report and balance-sheet of the .J.A.A., Colne Centre , we have acrain much pleasure ill recording the work during the year, b as being very satisfactory, though not approaching the standarJ attained last year. Since the formation of this Oentl'e 380 males and females have received instructions in "first aid," and. 46 females in "nursing," 330 l1ave been successful in gaining certificates in "first aid" and 41 in "nursing. " Accidents of various kinds have been numerous, and the members have been instrumental in rendering" first ait! " in an efficient manner. The financial position of this Centre, as may be seeD from the balance-sheet, is still highly satisfactory, showing an increase in suhscriptions of £11 19s. 4d . to last year. T he Committee desires to take this opportunity of thanking the Committees oftlle ColDe Cycling Club and Colne Morris Dan cers for the amounts h:ll1clell t:> them as their share of the collections at parades; also to th eir instructors, Doctors Dickey and Lovett, who have so fredy and gratuitously come forward to instru ct the members in this good and noble work .

THE first Rcport antI. Balance-sh eet are both of a most gratifying character. Under the auspices of this ccntre-which was originated by Mr. Hedley, H . M. Chief In pector of Mines, N ewcastle-on-Tyne, in conjunction with the hematite mineowners of ,Vest Cumberland-three successful classes have been held at Cleator 1\1001', Egremont anel Frizington, 73 candidates satisfying the Examiner. One of th e )11ost pleasing features ill conncction with thc session's work has heen the hearty respon e of thc mine antI. quarry owners to the appeal for financial assistance, th ereby e"incing in an nnlllistakalJle manner th e sympath etic regard of th e local employers to\lards thpir workmen. A suggested 1)1'0 ?'alct subscription list, bascd on last year's output of mincral, WdS sulnnitted to them, and as will he seen from th c annexed balancc- hed, the list was adopted with practical unanimity. At the heginning of the sea on some correspondence en ned with rcference to co-opcrating with the County Council. Ultimately it was consid ered, that inasmuch as thc centre had hcen formed for the specific purpose of proJlloting amhulance work among t mining employe, tlw,t ohject would he hett'r achieve!l hy " 'orking independently, until fairly csta hlishe(l, seeillg that past expcri 'nce ha,<1 demonstratcd the difficulty of imlncillg millers to l1llelld general classes. It has, lJOweYer, been subsequently sugge teel in lllany flllllrters, that a Amlml ullce is one of the suhjects allowed hy the Tecllllical In t;tructioll Committee, the ounty Conncil might fairly he askell to recognise the u erul and effective work of tlti centre amongst the mining community. i\1any case~ have occmred during the year \I-here the pupil of the A ' ociation haye been allle to rcwler eITective "fir t ai, I, " not only to tho e employcd in mines, but to the puillie generally.

It would be tedious to mention the many cases in which our mem bei·s have been of service, but, although there have been no such scriom: cases as have lJeen reported in previous years, the Committee are pleased to kuow that we have now a bouy of people, who are capable of relicving the sufferings of those who are so unfortunate as to need their services.

On 30th July Ia t a :Jleeting of the Lord Provost's Committee of Dnnllee Town Council ,vas held fur the purpo e of con iuering the que bon of the allocation of the Local Taxation Grant, when £25 were voted to the Dundee Centle in aid of ambulance work in the City.

David Cobb, of Broughton Ferry, left a large S11m to cartain tru. tees to ue disposed 9f for the belJeJit of charitable anu benevolent purposes. The trustees met in February last, and allocated the bequest, with the re uIt that a sum of £50 wa awarded to the Dundee Centre ill aid of amuulance work in the City.

Thi year liau, moreoyer, received a pecial di. tinction in bringing an important add.ition to their fund in the shape of a generous grant by the trustees on the estate of the late Mr. Cobb, and.it would be for the Committee to consider how this might be spent for the promotIOn and consolidation of the work of the Centre. He ventured t(} uggest that they shoulll assign at least a portion of it in encouracrina- those who had obtained CertiJicates from tho Centre to show that they w~re /:) maintaininu a competellt knowledge of the instruction they had received, so tbat it micrht/:) be readily available at all times in the case of public need. Further, he woulel like to be ~llowed to add a "O!:d about their ecretary anu Treasurer, who was really tbe mamsta.y ot the Centre In Dundee.

Last year 350 persons had. received instruction, making ill all the large number of clo~e on 6,000 persolls who had received the benefit of the" first aid" education since its e tablishment in 1884.

122 ANNUAL REPORT. THE R eport for the Session 1895-96, shows a very fair record of useful work among those clas es ill the Public Services most likely to have opportunities of putting theil' Ambulance training into practice, nam ely-Policemen, Railway employes, Fire Brigademen and Ooastgultrd - the figures being 17 in structed, of '\\hom 151 Wcre examined ami 139 passed. 'l'li e cash receipts have, how ever, fallen off very Considerably, for with the exception of two Ola ses (Ladies and Y. M. O. A., 36 pupils paying £7 12s. 4d.), all the instruction lIas been frce. Were it Dot, therefore, for the donations from the Watcll and Firc Brigade Oommittees of the Oorporation (£.Jo 4s.), the continued liberal subscription (£4) from the Hollington Branch, per Miss R owe L ewis, and thc annual subscriptions of fifteen member, the Oentre woulu have been unable to meet the cxamination and othcr ex pen es. No balance, therefore, exist from which to pay the members of the lecturing staff even a modest fee in recognition of their labours in this goorl work. This deplorable state of our finances seelll to point to the desirability of those in authority taking into consideration the claims of our Oentre to some recognition in the shape of a grant from the large sums allotted to thi:; district by Government for the promotion of t echnical education , as already being done throughout the country by Oounty Gouncils and Corporations to other branr.bes of the St. John Ambulance A ')ociatioll .

REPORT.

THE General Committee are quite sati fied with the work accomplishcd by thc Ccntre ~ince the last Annual R eport. Many eveuts of great interest have transpiretl Lluring the year, and a brief outline of the J1ll'st importallt will 110 doubt IJe of extremc interest to members of the St. J ohn Amlmlance Association, as well as to the general public. As notified in last year's report, the D e,\'sbury Section WCl e trying to provide a horse ambulance wagon for tbe district, and ]1.11'. P. 13. ,Yalker and ~lr. Duke Fox were illstructeu to send out a circular to the principal firms. There was a prompt response to th e appeal, and these two gentlemen a.t once ,\'ent to London, and after a courteous interview with the officials at St. John's Gate, th ey confidently entrusted the order to them for a horse ambulance carriage, madc to specification by Messrs. Marshall, Brothcrs, Ashford, Kent, at a cost of £105. Th e .carriage arrived in the middle of J llne last, and through the kindness of Mr. J oha

Walker, Lees House, a suitable building has been provided for it, until the Town Hall authorities have prepared a place adjacent to the Police Station for its permanen t home. A Heavy ,Yoollen District Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade has now been formed. The Brigade Chief Superintendent, ,V. J. Church-Brasier, London, attended a largc meeting in the Dewsbl1l'Y I nfirmary, in March last, and explained the object and mode of formation .

ANNUAL REPORT. D URIXG the past year 20 classes have hecn h eld, at which 382 pupils (259 111en and 123 women) have ueen instrU(·ted-325 in "first aid" and 57 in llnr~ing. Of these 382 pupils, 323 presented themselves for examination, uud 297 obtained certificates. These figures again show a satisfactOl y increase in evpry way upon those of the previous year, and the grant of certificateil has not been exceeded since the fOl'maticm of the Centre. This increase is the more satisfactory \\'hen it is remembered that, at the commencement of the year, tht3 Hull Centre of the A~. oeiation lost the support of the N ol'th Eastern Railway Company (163 of whose employes were instructed in one yedI', 1R91), owing to the formation of the ortll Eastem Railway Centre. Folll' more comses of lectures have been givon to the 11101111)ors of the Borough P olice, r esultin g in the instruction of 95 o (.ficel' . aud men, and, thanks to Dr. MillJurn's persistent efforts in this direction, it IDay now he saill that, with very few exceptions, the whole Borongh Police Force of 304 members ha::; now beon in structed by him. The annual pleasure fair, held at Hull, ",as attended hy 50,000 non-resident ·, in addition to many thousand townspeople. An am bnlance station was estahlishell here, and l'elliained open for eight clays from 9 a.m. 10 midnight. Tllirty-soven ofHcel's ancl men and seven nurses undertook the cluty, ancl detachment. of at least three mend)ers were constantly in attendance for "toms of duty" of five hours dl,ration. "First aid" was rendered in no less lhan 39 accidents. The report of this Centre is boing printed locally in extenso, and tho hon. secretaries will be glad to forward copies of sl1(;h report to anyone upon applicatioJl.

Th ere are no special cases to record of ambulance work. The Nursing Oorps in connection with the Centre still continues to do good work.

( igned) A NUAL REPORT. T HE work of this Centre has progressed with uuabated vigour during the past year. The aetion of the County Ooullcil in aiding ambulance classes has resulted in 12 courses of lectures being delivered to men, five to women and one in nursing, outside the Borough boundary. Two classes for men were held in the town of Northampton . Several classes which should have been held in the borough fell through at the last minute. Messrs. O. L. Johnson and W . J . Abbott have recently undertaken to work up this department of the organization. The cases of " first aid" rendered are 184, including nine fractnres, but many do not get reported. The Borough Police have rendered "first aid" 79 times in addition, including nine fractures, three cut throats, two poisonillg and two drowning cases. The special fund for purchase of material now amounts to £190 5s., of which £lM 12s. 8d. has been already spent Oll ambulance wagon, tent, ncw litter station, two new stretcher stations, and the improvement of the old stations.

in 1 92 exhibits no retrograde signs in the great interest which has been mallif.::sted in t.he objects uf the Association . So far indeed from any such retrogression the Committee have the plea ing fact to announce that the number of Certificates nnu Medallions gained this year have excecdeL1 those earneu in any (lreYioll Ses'ion by about IOU; the total number awan1ed this Session nlllounting to over 600. The 111111lU r of Canuidates attelllling the Cour es of I n truction han exceerlecl tllO e in formel' years, Ull t the propol tion of tho e submitting them elves for Examination has been les::. than in other e ions, although the resnlt" are more 1l11mcrou. One great feature of the current year's work has bef:'n fonnel in the large proportion of mules who have gained Certificates anu ~Ieclallions, and the'e have been chiefly drawJl from the ranks of Railway, Ga, Fire ancl Crystal Palace Employes, and it is gratifying to think that most of these Emplnycii have beull instructed almo t free of cha1'(re. Etch year it has been a privilege to revert to the fact of the COil. tant and devoted service of the l'Iletlie>l.l tatf who at no smalllabo'Gr alvl sacrifice of time continl1' to instruct the Candidate. free of remuneration. The following Mellical men have hel11 the classes enumerated opposite to their names : Dr. Arnoltl 1 Dr. Au till 3 Dr. Collie 1 Dr. Donglas 6 Dr. A nnesley Eccles :2 Dr. Jennings. 2 Dr. Green 1 Dr. Hart 1 Dr. H. Hetley 1 Dr. McNeal 5 Dr. S. Rohinson 3 Dr. wayne 4 -1 Dr. Umney 2 Dr. Stroll<' The amalgamation with the ydenham Centre has so far been attendeu with favoumhle re ults in every way. The ~ orwooI1 "N ur ing" Divi ion of the Metropolitan Corps of the St. John Amhulance Brigalle now n nm bel'S nineteen, anu their efficient services in their mini trations to the poor continue as ably amI uncea 'ingly a in past ycar', and the Depot which they hav e estal)li heu in the Cry tal Palace ha been ,the meallS of enabling them to do good 'work among t those requiring their aid, and on crowded days. The nnrs~s h~ve renderel1 ervico in 200 "nursillg" ca es anu in 190 " first aiu .. cases at the Crystal Palace sill~e their installation in October, I e 93. The nnances of the Centre are still in a prosperous coo(lition, anu it must not ue forgotten that they are most materially assi ted by the generosity of the Annual ubseribers, and by the kin(lness of t11e many frienu who have given the u.,;e of their rooms, thus saving to the CelJtre the co t of room hiring whi ch othE'nnse "'ould rank \\'11.

accidents of almost every description . At the Hanley Police Court in December last, a ca e of wounding was before the magi.'trates, " 'hen Mr. John Clare, Ul'geon, stated that he attended the pro ecutar, and found him suffering from a clean cut about C:Ln inch and a half long on the side of the head , The woulld had been bandaged by P .C. France, a student of the Centre, and the bleeding partially stoPI eu, and tl,e doctor said that it was quite pos ilJle that, but for the application of the bandage, the man nJight have died from loss of blood . Since the issue of the last report, the denth lIas occulTed of Sir Smith Child, Bart., .President of the Centre. H is name W(lS held in great honour throughout the dish'ict on account of his personal character, and of hi almost Unb0l111dell genero it)' to\\'ards the leading societies and institutions carrying on good works aroullu him. His benefactions and endowments in many ca es perpetuate the works in which he was chiefly interested . The Committee cannot allow this report of the work of their Centre to he pub }ished witi,out inserting in it a brief note concerning their hon. secrptary and trea 'urer, It if> not easy to convey to the j1uulic any idea of thc cxtcnt of the duties which Ml'. Sydney ,V. Malkin so kindly undertakes: and the llllll'calietl interest, the excellent bUfiiness qualificationfi, and the i11\'ariable comte y which characterise his fu1fi1l11~nt of his labour of love during several years pa talc beyond all praise. The Committee can only repeat that the highly flourishing condition of the Centre is to be very much attributed to his "ork, and his way of (loing it. The,\' tender him their special thanks .

AN NUAL REPORT . I K presenting the Fourteenth Annual Report, the Committee feel that they haye every reason to be satisfied with the work done by the Sheflield Ccntre during the past year. Seventeen classes have been helll (15 "first aid" ancl two nursing), with a total membership of 311-(202 men anlll09 women). At the Examinations held on behalf of the Central Executive, 220 students pas cd satisfactorily, and in audition to these, 121 Certificaterlmembers have pa seu the first re.examination, and 32 the second re-examination, the latter having now ohtailleLl the medallion issued by the Association. These figures acllled to those of preyious years make a total of 6,98-1 passes since the formation uf the Centre. Th e following medical men have kindly acted as Honorary Lecturers during the past year :-Mr . A. K . Gale (Norton WooLlseats), Dr. D. A. Gray (Atterclifre), Mr. Clyde L. Hayes (Millhouses), Mr. J. R. Hill (Pitsmool'), Dr. J. D. Kenny (Treeton ), Dr. J. :01ason (Hanasworth ), Dr. J. ~mlle (\Yincobank), Dr. Hugh Rhodes, and Dr. S. Rooth (Dronfield) . Successful classes have been held (luring the year at several of the large ,,'ork:; in the district, and also at the Midland Railway Passenger tation. The Committee would again take this opportunity of impressing upon aU employers of labonr the desirability of encouraging the formation of classes amongst their men . During the past year 50 more memb'3rs of the Police Force have passeu through a course of instruction in " first aiu," and havc obtaineu the Certificate of IH'oficiency; 31 have also passed the first re-examination, and 9 the second re-examination. E very member of the Force is now instl'Ucted in "first aid," and very numerous instances have occuned in which tbc kuowledge has proved to be of the greatest possihle value. Several"' first aid' and nursing classes have recen ely been com-

mcncec1 in connection witl) the School Board Evening Continnation 3chools, these subjects lJeing now inclncl e(l in the Evening Schools Corle. Although these classes are not officially cOl1necte(l with the Centre, the Uommittee note their formation with satisfaction, feeling that beneficia.l results mnst accrue from a wider dissemination of ambulance knowledge. The ambulance carriage a nd litters llClonging to th e Cen tre conlinue to be largely used. The Committce regret that owing to the limited fnnds at th eir di .."posal they arc not able to a<1(l to the sLol:k of conveyances, and they would respectfully suggest to the Corporation ,Yatch COlllmittee the a(lvisahility of providing a(lJitiullal means for the transport of injured pe)'sol1 , illcluJing a horse ambulance carriage of a more 1ll0t1ern type than the one nolV in usc, IV hich \l'a~ pmchased by the Cen tre ten Fars ago . The COlllmittee desire to express their best thanks to the Honorary ecretary (Dr. ~lartin), the Lectlll'ers. the 'lao s ecretarie>;, awl all those "'ho llaye by their kind a sistance helped forward the work of the Centrc.

REPORT.

THE history of the ambulance movement in outh ShielLls, during the above Session, has been one of (Iuiet, but steady, progression, and the fact that 17' students attended the classes, and oLtaineu certificates, i sufficient proof that the good "'ork has been carried Oil in a satisfactory manneT'o The Borough is nm, well supplied in this respect, and an accident can hardly OCCl1l' in any part of it, without the almost instant attendance of some one qualified to give valuable assistanc~ to the. uffe1'er. Th e members of the CommittEe heartily appreciate the assistance repdereu by the Coq.lOratioll in providing two free classes, and have every rea 'on to think tbat as these clas es become better known ill the town, there will be a constantly growing application for admission from those for whom they have l)een specially organi eu. As in past years, no attempt has lJeen maue to schedule tIle many case:; where invaluable help has been given and life has been saved by our stmlcnts. The Press gives a report of much of the work accolllplishell, Imt there are hundreds of accidents occurring every year, in which sulfering has been relieved by "fil'~t aiel" applied at the right time, but nothing is heard of these in tances outsiue of' the circle immediately concerned. Your Committee sincerely regret to report that 11'. C. 'V. Harriflon has been compe11ed to reflign hi position a:; one of the honorary secretaries of the Centre, as he is shortly going abroad. Dming the seven years in which he bas been acting as Secretary, an illlmcnse amount of ambulance work has been carried on in the Borough; the number of students who haye olJtailled "first aid" certificates in the said period being 1,081, anu it has been largely uue to the untiring

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Committee ba,'e l11ur.b plea ure in submitting a short absb'act of the work of the Centre during the la t twelve months. One afternoon and b\'o evening cla ses for \Yom ell, antI one for men, have be ell held. Twenty-foul' women and 12 men haTe attelllled a course of instruction in "fil st aid," and 17 women a course of nursing; a minimum attendance at four lectures being counted a course. :Foul' \yomen and two men have also gained medallions. The Committee have receiyed material aid f1'o111 Dr. Coates, through his killllness in lecturing to three cla,ses without fee; antI from the dergy and others, who 11a\'e kindly gl'anted the 11 'e of rooms in which lectures and examinations haYe been bel(l. During the year enderl June 30th, 18f:1o, the income of the Centre from all sources, including balance from last year, CLDlounted tu £39 13s. lId., and the expenses to £34 13, . 8d. , leaYillg a balance in hanel of £5 0 . 3d . Owing to the small balance standing to the crcrlit of the Centre, it is con,iclerecl advisable, that, for thc coming "'inter, cla ses should remain in abeyance; IJut should a sufliciellc,)' of' canJiuates, at any tillie, de ire a (,Olll'Se of instruction either in " firl::t aid" or " nursing," such classes would be hell1.

226 Brigades the Committee's labours havc thus far met with no responsc. The Committee regret to have to report that t he Table Bay H arbour Board have not given a grant in aid this year, and that in consequence the large body of cmployees to who111 ambulance knowledge would pro \'e so u efnl ha ,'e not been able to avail themselves of the instl'l1ction others obtained last year. Under such circumstances the necessity -of obtaining funds to carry out the wishes of your Committee, to provide lectures gratis, ag,l,in comes prominently hefore the puhlic, and the Execnti vc trnst that the appeal now Illadc in the cause of humanity will not fall on dea f ears. Thc foilo\\-ing is the mo t interesting case of "first aid" reported elUl'ing the year ] 95-96. The statements are vouched for cmel verified hy the patient (Harris), nrgeoll-Lieutenant Faskally, 111. O. Colonial Forces, Corporal Brown, and Corporal Connor, C. M.R. Corporal BrO\\'ll tates: -" On the 2nd Deccmher, 1 95, being down on the coa~t Umzikala, district Pondoland Ea t, Cape Colony, on three day, leaye of absence with Sergeant Thomas and Corporal Connor, we met a man named Harris, who was there for the purpose of killing fi h \\-ith dyuamite. He (Bani) l1eld the dynamite cartridge in his right hand and a lighted branu in his left, at tlle sallle time standing on a rock some distance from the shore. U pOll placing the ligllted brand to the fuse, owing to some defect in the latter, the dynamite cartridge exploded el,lmost immediately after leaving his hand, and he was h111'led into the water. Sergeant Thomas immediately jumped in after him, and with some difficulty brought him neal' the shore, \\"hen he wa a>l i. ted by myself. As soon as we got him out of the \yater we sa",. that his right hand wa blo\\-n completely off, bis right eye injured, and his face and chest shattered by the explosion. All this time Sergeant Thomas was holding him hy the upper arm, and as he explained to me afterwards, was compressing the artery to stop the luemorrhage. Sergeant Th0111as now instructed me to tie a pebble in a handkerchief, with which he hound the arm to compress the artery and stop the bleeding. lYe laid HeHris on the sand and did the be. t with the lining of our coats, handkerchiefs, etc., to dress the stump as well as possible. Corporal Connor then went for Dr. Faskally, who resided 17 miles fro111 the spot where the accident occurred. Sergeant Thomas and myself then improvi ed a stretcher out of wattles and bark and with the aid of two natires carried Harris to a Ka{fir kraal two miles away, where we laiu him on onr blankets and mal1e him as comfortable as possible, awaiting the arrival of the uoctOl'. Dr. Faskally arri,'ed about twelve hours after the accident, when he proceeded to amputate the arm, with what assistance we could render. Dr. Faskally asked Sergeant Thomas and myself to remain with the unfortunate man for the rema,indel' of our leave, to dress his wounds till he could procure an attendlll1t. At the present date Harris is completely cured, having 10 t part of his forearlll and his right eye, but is able to ride about and attend to his work. " To the many supporters of the Association's work, especially to those who haye acted as local secretaries and lectmers, an indelible debt of gratitude is due, and it is recognised to the fuil that they have sacrificed time, energy, and, in no few instances money, without regard to rank, nationality, or creed, in carrying into effect the motto of the Order, "Service in the Cause of Man ."

to those to whom we owe that in i tiation . The idea of some in tl'l1ctiOll in what is known as " First Aid to the I llj med " had long l)een felt a crying need un these fields 1rhere mining \\·ork is of nece ity befraught with constant danger to life nlld limb, but the first to give a lll"actical impetus to the idea was Professor Liehmann the Hon . Secretary-General of the South African Council of the Rt. John Ambl1lanc~ Associa tiOll. Professor Liebmann wrotc a letter to Dr. D. Johnston, a k ing hilll to use his influence to form a centre of the Association in Johannesburg, and Dr. Johnston with 111'. ' V. Leslie Daniels, om presen t Hon. Secretary, took the matter warmly up. These gentlemen found many friends an(l warm supporters of the movelllent, llotably Mr. E. P . Rathhone, the Government lIilling lnspector, and Captain A. lI. Blek ley, both of whom had already a similar organization in view. Captain Yon Brandis, our esteemecl pecial Landdro t, con euted to preside at a Public 1[eeting, which was held on 6th eptember, 1 94, at which 1110 t of our leading officials and townsfolk attended, or to which they sent lettcrs of sympathy. The inf1uential nalJ1es contained ill the list of the Committee, as printed in thc bOuk of rules, fully prove the representative manner in which the matter was taken up, anc1under such favourahle auspices your Executi ve felt that success wa. a sured from the outset, 1\ hidl has ince been alUl,ly pro,-ed, though much remains to he c10ue l,erore the ohjects of the Association can be practically and thoroughly accompli heel. Although the needs of the townspeople were fnUy recognised, it was at once een that the great ,,·ork and duty of the Ass(lciation lay towards the milll' rs, and an appeal for final1L:ial support was issued to the various )Iining Companie , with a 1'e ult, 1\·hich 8ho\\s that tho e responsible for these undertakings are fully and generollsly ali vc to their respol1 'ibilities. A full li8t of subscription. reccived from this source is issucd with this report. The funds thus raised enabled the Centre to engage the sen ices, as permanent lecturer, of Mr. ,V. C. Cannagh, whose whole time is deyoted to holclil1g classes of i11struction along the line of reef", hi appointments occupying every night in the week. Mr. Cayenagh was highly commended for the work, aml the judgment of your Executive iu giving him the appointment hac:; been amply jnstifierl hy the fact, that out of four classes, comprising fifty-five candiclates for examination, 110 candidate has failed to llass. The efliciency of Mr. Cavenagh'. teaching is flllther emphasised, as a different medical man has examined each class. O\ying to the neceso:ary delay in getting such an A sociation as this in working order, the practical work of instruction on the mines (lid not commence till 3rcl JUlle, 1 9.i, wlten the first lecture was helel, and up to 30th September fifty-five pupils ha(l recei,-ed instruction, and forty-three candidates presentefl themselves for Examinations, all of 1yhom passed. Your Executive desire to express their gratitu(lJ for the manner ill which the medical men of Johannesburg, iudeed from the Chimes to Ran clfontein, have assisted the Centre, anrl lJarticularly to Drs . John&ton" Allenb Crocrhan ' Sterne , and Meyer, who have already examineu classes. This Centre wishes as far as possiule that each class shall be examined by a differC'nt doctor, a11(l lIas every rca son to believe, from the long list of offers of help, that it will have no diiliculty in carrying out its view.

Your Executive desire to express their thanks for the hearty manner ill which the managers and other officers of the various Mining Companies have secol1l1aJ the Centre by organising meetings to form section~, anel otherwise promoting its ol,jects.

ISCE the last Report was issued, in August, 1 91, the work of the Association bas gone on steadily in this Centre. Later on in tbe same year, a "fir t aid" course for women \"as given, and also oue "fir t aid" com e for railway employes. In 1 92: two" first aid" courses for W(1ll1en and one for mell were held, follo \\'ed, in 1893, 1),}' two" first aid" conrses for railway employes (at one of which eyeral lllem1lers, who bad obtained certificate, pa sed their first re-examination), and also a nursing class. Besides this in 1 93 we examined a railm]',}' cla s, which was ent to u for examination from R aau\\'port J unction . This dass, consisting of seven mcn, instructed 11y Dr. Baird, of N(lauwport, proved them. elves most thoroughly competent ill their I';ork, and the examiner was very much plea ed with their U Ilusual excellence. I n 1 91, another "'as held, and byo JIlore were examined, one from Cradock our1 the other from Dr. Baird, X aam"port. Be ide this, a clas. for policcmen was 11elcl. This was very difficult to get together, and elid not prove very 'utisfactory, owing to tbe constant changes in the force, and also on account of the smallness of the Corps, and the forced irregularity of the attendance. 'Yc, however, hope to be a111e to manage to get one together again, In 1 95, owing to '"<uious circnlllstames, we were only a111e to have one course of lce;turc , a "fir",t aiel" cuursc for womcn ; allfl, so far, none have yet heen held this year.

REPORT.

Committee, at the conclusion of another year, arc very pleased to present to all interested in the progress and welfare of the Centre, the Report and Balancesheet for the past year. Dnring that period the following classes have been held:One at Ollr Boys' Institute, one at Way College, one men's cIa. s at Kapumla, one ladies' class at Adelaide, one ladies ' class at Kapunda. These cIa ses comprise a full course of attendance of 84 in number, of whom 27 passed the exam ination, this small proportion being accounted for hy the classes h eld at Eapunda lleciuing not to be examined . The record for the y ea r can hardly be consill ereJ atisfactory. It has been founu difficult to sustain interest in the objects of the As oeiatioll, espccially during the summer season, which has been one of unusual and prolonged heat. Many, al '0, ot our young popUlation have left the colony during the past year to push their fortunes in ,Vest Australia, wh ere a previons training in ambulance ,," ork "'olllel have bee1l found invaluabl e amidst the acciucnts incident to life on the golJliel(l.3, nnu tll!:: many rases of sickness which prevail there. Since the establishlllellt of the Cenl1'(> in 1884, nearly 1,090 certificates have been i 'sued by this Centre, in ac1Llition to which many pupils eflually well instructed have pas eel through the classe,', but have not shown the energy to go up for examinatioll and claim their certificates of competency. In addition to the above, five re-exan!inatiolls have lleen hel(l at different times during the year, to test the iuformatioe and alJiJity retained by former pupils. YOU\' Committee have plea nre in bearing testimony to the good work contributed by the Adelaide t. John Ambulance Practice Club, of which Mr. J. W. Fisk is President, anLl which has maintained steady practice work amongst old pupils, though not absolutely affiliateu to the Centre. Thanks are also specially due to the members of the t. John Amlmlance North AdelaiLle Ladies' Class, of which the Hon. Dr. Campl,ell is PresiLlent. Their ministrations during the last seven years have ]Ieen of good, ervice and help in man)' cases of acciuent and illnes, , and also in imparting a kuowledge of amhulance treatment and home nursing amongst women of the industrial classes resirling in their neighbourhood. This society uf ladies was also al)le, last Novemher, by the proceeds of a sale of work, &c., and donations from friends, to "enLlow" a cot for the enrrem year at the Children's Hospital, at a cost of thirty guineas, U1Hler the name of the " Ambulance Cot" ; and. it hopes, with the support of past amlmlance pupils and of other fri ends, to llJaintain this cot for several year '. On the arrival of His Excellency Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, R.C.M.n . , as Governor of the Province, your Committee reclmsted him to accept the position of President of tIle Centre, in succession to the Earl of Kintore, and His Excellellcy has kindly acceded to theil wishes.

The Annual Special Ex amination, held each year in 1I1:11 ... h, open to all who, during the previous year, have obtained" much credit" in any" first aid" examillation, has this year, as usual, been ,yell attended, and evidently acts as a stimulus to the acquirement of a more thorough knowledge. School allOve all afford the he~t opportunity, at th e age when impressions are ruost deeply made, for learning wl1at to do in cases of accident; and, as an inducement, the fee for those attending schools has been reduced to 5s. for a conrse of lectnres on "first flill," alld a certificate is awarded on passing an examination.

AN:NU AL REPORT IS' presenting their Sevcnth Annual Report the Central Commitcee bcg to state that the Sllccess which has attended the op rations throughout the Centre rluring the year enrling 31st D t:ember, 1895, exceedcd the most sanguine cxpectations of lllembers. For the year 1894. the membership stood at 297, while for the year upon which we now have the honour to report, we have enrolled 1,192 mcrubers-:m increase of 895. Twclve months ago we had on our roll four branches-now we ha-.;'c 23, spread throughout all parts of Otago; and while the increaseri membership is largely due to the institution of cIa se in connection with these 11e'" branches, there has also heen a satisfactory increase il!. the number who attended the lectures in the city. The result of the season's work is specially gratifying, and surpasses that of mallY of the larger and older est.-'luli hed centres both in the Colonies and in England. The annual prcsentation of certificates an(l medallions took place in the City Hall, on Friday, 15th March, when, 1I0twithstamling the inclemency of the "'eather, there wa a large attenuance. His Honour, Mr. Justice Williams (President of the Centre), occupied the Chair, anu was snpporte(i by se\'eral members of the Legislature, honorary metlical staff, anu others. During the ev !ling, a uemonstration of practical nUl' 'ing wa given by evera! la(ly memhers of the A sociation, anu later on a team from the Dune(iin Corps of the t. John Amhulance Brigade went through a programme of " fir.'t aid" work. COll.'illerable carc and kill were di played by tho'c taking part in tllese exhilJitions, and great intere t wa manife teu by the al\( lienee. Thc Annual ::'Ilreting of JUemuers of the A sociatioll was held on ~.')th April, when thc cha:r wa' occupicd hy the Right Rev. Dr. 1\o"i11, Bi>hop of Dunedin. Although the husine's wa to a great extent of a formal na.ture, ~e\reral excellent acldres. es werc delivered, and the ouject· of, and advantagcs to be derived from the A.. o(;iation ,,"ere prominelllly hrough t forward. The vacancy ill the A sociation's office-hearel"' cane(l by the death of the late Rev. Dr. ttHLrt, ",ho, illce the formatioll of thc Ccntre, had been one of it VicePresidellt~, 11a not yct heen filled. At the Ile,·t allnual mecting of the As ociation, the Central 'ommittl'e will he prcparcd to sublllit fur the approval of member the name of a gentlema.n for election as Vice-Presillent. Adverting to the matter of properly dcfilling the boundarie of the respectiYe Centres of thc t. John Ambulance AS,jociatioll in ~ew Zea.land, to which reference was made in la -t year's report, the Committec have plea nre iu stating that, as a result of their ncgotiations, th Oall1a.ru Branch hm; tran ferred its allegia.nce from the Chri tchurch to the DUlle(lin entre, thus making the \Yaitaki River the northem houndary of our (listrict. The cla. ·c at Iuverc!lrgill have been J'C llscitatell, and that place ha. ueclJ [,ormally J'11(;ognised a a Centre hy the authorities at l. John's Gatc. The HllJitiona.l teaching appliancl:s which were ordercd for the pa-t ea Oil'S "'ork 1Ia,e proved to he of great scrviee. In COllsc(lncnce of the larg numbeJ' of conntry classes, the supply of lecturel"s diagrams will re(tt1ire to he stIll further increased, and at the present time the Committee have lluder COllSill ration the desirability of having di:tgrams iipecially prepared locally, in prefercnce to ordering from t. John's Gate. The skeleton arriv d from London in the aJ'ly part of the y aI', and was u ed to a eOIlsi(lera.lJle extent in connpctioll ~'ith +he various city and snbnruan cIa e. A

250 lllunber of appliances in COllnection witll the nursing classes have also becn of service in furthering the practical instruction of members. Belieyina that lllore value would he attached to the Associatiou's certifieates if 1:> they could be obtained from .. t. John's Gate, the central Committee entered into communication \\'ith the Home authorities 011 the matter, but it "'as founel that thc certificates could 0111y lle is ned in a completed form, it being necessary to trausmit examiner,,' reports, list of name ', etc., to London. The Committee considered that ulldcr such circumstances delay woul(l occur. al1(l it was re olveel that tIle present practice of issuing locally, shoultl, in the meantime, be continued. Th e matter of obtaining permAnent premises for the Association has been discllssed by yom Committee, and next season it is proposed t ·) endeavour to make arrangement. whereby rooms can be ohtained \\"hich will be suitable for lecturil~g purposes, holc1illg meetings, etc., aBd will also enable all the Association':> appliance to be kept together aUfl ready for use. It is especially gratifying to the (;oll1mittee to be able to chronicle as an accom· plished fact, a matter which has been ad,-ocated in several previolls reports, i.e., the formation of a Nursing Corps in Dunedin from amongst the lady members hohling the A sociation's certificate. Early in the session a meeting of those interesterl was helll for the purpose of organising snch a hoJy ; the uuject wa.s very warmly taken up, and officers and a committee appoilltell. Dr. BUrD ett has given his sen ices as honorary 5urgeon of the corps, which, to all appeara1lce, has a useful carecr before it. On allother page will be fOll11d the rulcs, lit of ollice-bearers, autlrpport of the work dont'. The Central Committee have recommencled Dr. ,Yi11 (AbbotsforJ), al11l Dr. ~llan (.JIosgiel, to the Central Executive Committee ill London for appointment as honorary life-me111bers of the Association-thc former having dcliycred six antI the latter five courses of lectures under onr rules. The diplomas will ani ve in due COUl·5e. On the 6th June a commullication was receiv(!tl from ir Alfred Jephson , Secretary-General of the Order of the Hospital of St. J ohl1 of J erusalelll in Englaufl, notifying that the Conn:il and Challtel'-General harl been pleased to appoint Colonel ,Yales (Chairman of the Dllnetlin Centre ) an Honorary Asso(;iate of the Order of t. John, ill recognition of his etforts for the promotion of amhalallce work in DUllt'liin The Committee are pleased to acknowledge the appointment thus conferred, which they regar,l as an honour not only to Colonel ,Yales, but to the Centre as a lJo<l.1" The litters, stretchers, hampers, anll otlF'r appliallce. whi(;h the Associatioll have locaterl in various places, are in a goo(l state of prcservation, and dnring tbe year have been utilised to a considerable extellt in cases of acciflent~. A fully e(lnippeLl hamper ha been placed at the harbour-master's oltice on the Rattray Street 'Ylu.tl'f, where the tretchel' \\'a:; located last year. In several cOHntry places appliallcrs han: al 0 been p<'ovided, and are available in <:ases of emergeHcy. It will be seen from the appended statement that the IlUJ}lher of lllemher" \\'ho have completed r.heir third course of instruction and (lnalifierl for the llwrbllioll durillg the pa, t year is 33-a distinct advance upon auy previonsyrar. No less thall 85 memllers are eligible to atteod theil third COUl'l:>e of lectt1l'eB anel sit the mellallion examination next seaSOl1 . Th e regulations for the N ew Zealand VoluTl teer Foree, which camp in to oPPnttiOt1 on the 1 t March, 1895, made provision for three mCll per corps heing ilHtructed in stretcher-chill and field-dres 'ing, and in tIle course laid clowu l)y the.

1111'. L. H. B. 'Wilson (No.1, Grey Street). ANNUAL REPORT. YOUR Committee has to report that four" first aid " classes WE're formecllast "'inter, the total attendance being 117. In Wellington, Dr. Henry lectured to 32 men. Of these 24 went up for examination before Dr. James, and 17 pas eel. Of thrse 9 were first year student., 7 second year, and 1 third year, the last being now entitled. to a medallion. As the regulations now provide for a I1Ul'sing course for men, it is prolJosed, shonl!l a su fficient number of entries he received, to hold. a class ill 'Wellin gton and. Petone. Two "omen's classes were held, Dr. Teare taking both. They were attended by 47 students, of whom 29 went up for examination, and 23 pas:ed, Of these 22 were first year students and one second year. A Ho:-ne J ursing Class of 21 ,rom en was lectured to by Dr. Pollen. Of these 17 ,,-ent up for examination ancl 13 passed. Of the~e 5 (1 ualified for the med.allion. Dr. Anson kindly examinell the women's classes in both" first aid" and" home nursing." At Petone, Dr. Hi slop lectured to 37 stnclents, of whom 21 presented tllemselves for examination before Dr. F, 'Yo :lIJackenzie. Of these 16 "ere first year students, 3 second year, and 2 qU:J.lified for the medallion. It is propo ed, should 'uJliciellt inducement offer, to hold a women's cIa s at Petone this year. No class was hell at Stratford. d.uring the year, but it is proposed to hold. one there this season. It is hoped th at classes will be furmed. at Pahiatua, Wanganui, and Kltanunllah, A public meeting was hr,ld at Thoma " HaH (which was kiu!lly lellt free of charge, on Thursday, July 18th , 1 95. His Excellency the Governor pre'i(led. and distributed the medalliolls and certificates for 1 94. Your Committee wish to record their appreciation of the services rendered. by the yurious medica.l men who have so kiudly lectured to and examined. the classes. Your Committee also desire to record their thanks for the services r ender ed by 1\1rs. Adams as honorary treasurer to the Centre for a period of four years. An Ashford litter has been ordered from London on behalf of the Harbour Board, who propose to keep it on the Queen's '\Vbarf. This will bc fitted both with an ordinary stretcher, ~ll1d also with a "Lowmoor Jacket," which is intend.ed for use ill ships' holds to secure a patient on a stretcher which can then lJe placed ill an upright position. Your Committee has also ordered an Ashford Litter. The place where this is to be kept has not yet been settled . Your Committee have made enquiries relative t o the cost of a horse litter, and on receipt of a reply will approach the

Corporation with the view of getting that body to assist the Society to purchase so mce sary an appliance for [1 large city. The litter now kept at the Brandon treet Fire Brigatle Station has been used several times during the year. At the sUC/g~st~on of Dr. F. W. M<Lck~nzie, a regi tel' is to ue kept of the names of perso~s ",dlmg to serve as lllH es 111 the event of there heing a war at any time. The Secretary will receive the n ames of persons so volunteering. In conclusi~n, ~o,ur Com.mitte~ would urge upon its members, hoth ordinary and class, the rlcsnahlhty of ll1c1U Clllg persons to go through a compl te course of lectmes. In a young country like this, where accidents frequently occur miles away from a medical man , lives m'1,y he savell, and much sufrering can be spared to thosp who may have unfortunately been injured, by persons who have a thorouah knowledge of the subjcct matter of the" first aid .'

I NTERnl ImpORT. DL'IlING the past year eight classes have been held as follo\\'s :-Four men's "first aiel" and one nursing, one women's "first aiel" and two nursing. Three of these classes are now awaiting examination. Owiog to the courtesy of the Municipal Council, a room has been plo.ced at the dispo al of the Association, the fitting-up of which caused so much uelay that the classes were not started as early as the Committee had wished, consequently tlUl full annuall'eport and balance sheet is not rc<tcly for publication in the Association's annual book. The season commenced with a women's free nursing class for those whe, were not able to pay a fee, and although 126 tickets were issued, the attendance was very small, and cliclnot come up to expectation. Dr. Hogg kindly acted as lecturer, and the expenses of the class were met by the Ladies Nursing Association of last year "\-Vork is steadily generously handing over their surplus cash, amounting to £10. progressing, and the same .1mount of interest is being taken in it as was the case la!;t year. The medical profession have again courteo(lsly given their hearty co-operation. 11any cases of "first aid" have heell succe sfully treated by both male auu female memhers, chief of which may be mentioned three brok n legs, two dislocated arms, fr<tctmecl ribs, one collar-bone and t!.:ree cnt wounds, in which the arteries were s('verecl; all these cases l'ecei villg fa vomahle lllGl1tion from the me<lical men in attelldance.

B1UGADE.

SIR, I herewith beg to hand you my Report olmy inspectioll 011 tIle 13th June of the North East Lancashire Division St. J o11n Ambnlance i-:lrigacie, at the Recreation Grounds, Southport, kindly placed at the eli posal of the divisiou by the ~layor and Corporation of Southport. Fonrteen corps anu divisions paraded, 13 n1l1'~illg Ji vi iOllS also being pres ell t, representing 35 ambulance officers and men, and 16] nursing Rister', gi"iug a total of 519 of all ranks. The weather being fine, the parade presented a very fine sight, the llllrsillg sisters looking particularly smart and business-like ill their black dressses with uniform aprons and capR, all the suprrintending nurses in charge of divisions wearing the complete 11nifo1'1n prescribed for the nursing sisters of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, As illspeeting officer, I was received with a "gcneral salute" hy the divi ion commandecl by Major Cartel', V.D., 1st Vol. Batt. L.N.L. Regt. 1 made a close inspection of the ranks, and the material OIl the ground. The lli vision "marched past" in sections of "fours" and formed up on its original grou11l1, and applied various bandages, afterwards a supposed railway smash llaving taken place, serious injuries (If all descriptions havillg received" first aiel" treatment, the patients Wlre carried by the several lIlethods pabt the" stand." Thp divibioll then formed l1p in "close order" in frollt of the gtand, and was ad(lressed by His 'W orship, The 1I1a),or of Southport, and nlyself. I was lllllCh struck ,,,ith the steady improvcment ,,·hich takes pla<!e from yerlr to year ill this divisi0J1. Thc TUl'n seem better set l1p. Theil' ulliform was dean and well put OIl, the marching improve~, and one special feature of a mo. t commendable natUle occupied my attention, viz., every corps alld tlivision paradf:'(l in the regulation uniform of the St. J olm Ambulance Brigade. I cannot too highl) praisc all the ambulance officers andl1len for their perseveranca in raising the funds to so efJ.uip themselves. I ," as also gratified to see that the s1rttclier drill set forth ill "Official DrilllHanl1al " had been introcluce(l and practise(l by all corps and divisions. The dIvision has every right to be proud of the numerous ancl efficient body of nursing sisters attached to it; their llseflllnesR, kilH1ne R and attention is well recognised in the many to,,'ns and villages in which they reside. . Th e whole review was most crrditable, and I have ll1uch pleasurc in speaklllg most favourably of the North East Lancashirc Division t. John Ambulance Brigade. Durin g the morning of the 13th June, a eonlpctition consisting of squads from e:1Oh corps and division, and also takell from the nnrsing llivisions, competed for prizes at the Volunteer Drill H all (kinu ly lent lJY th e olJicer comruanding), the juuges being Dr. J 011rs, Cllief Snrgeon R ortrampton Corps; find Dr. A udlanu, Hon.

REPORT OF THE BRIGADE CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT.

The corps was under the command of Mr. George Fowlp.r, Surgeon Neilson being the Hon. Surgeon. The inspection consisted of a general salute and inl';pection, after which bandaging and hand carrying drills ""-ere performed, and various st.:?posed injuries were treated, including the restoration of the apparently drowned, or suffocated in mines, and concluded wiLh a march past in sections and fours, and an atl vance in review order. There were present on parade, 5 officers, 13 supernumerary officerR, 120 men, with 4 stretchers, and 1 litter. The drills and exercises were well carried out, but the uniform worn by the officers and men did not conform in all respects with the Brigade regulations, and Mr. Fowler's attention was drawn to this. After the in pection, Lord Loch kindly addressed the Corps, and complimented them on their efficiency, and remarked on the usefulness of ambulance work, e pecially in the mining di tricts. SllOrt addresses were also given by Colonel Seely, IVLP., Dr. Hutton, and myself. At Derby: on the 22ncl August, a review and inspection of the corps and clivisions in o. V. District was heJd by Mr. Stuart ,Yardell, the Deputy Commis. ioner, at which more tllnn flOt) officer and men were pre pnt. A report of the io p ection will be found under the Annual Heport of tIle D eputy Commis ioner.

SIll, I have the honour to J eport that early in the ycar I visited several of the larger corps and divisions in the north of England, when I had the opportunity of meeting the officers and members: and discnssing with them matters of interest ,yhich could not have been dealt \\'ith by cOlTe~ponuence. I was particularly struck with the enthusiastic way in which the movement has been taken up in Hull ; York and Bradford. At the first-named l)lace, the joint ecretaries of the Centre, Dr: Milburn aud Mr. French Thompson, have sparcd ncither time or trouble, in order to attain a high state of efficiency, alld to further promote the usefulncss ot their corps and in this they have ueen ably seconded by Chief Superintendent 111. Hoppel', Super: intendent Secretary Krause, and Lally uperintenc1ent Laverack. At York, I witnessed a parade of the North Eastel'll Railway men, The drilling amI" first aid" work wa;; excellent, and I was pleased to be able to personfllly congratulate Dr. Chalmers, and Mess rs. Penty and Jackson 011 th e smart anu creuitable appearance of the men under their command. At Bradford, Dr, _-\ndrrw Bro\\'n is ably a~sisted by 1st officer Cbipl'inuale,-who is also secretary of the Centre,-and by Chief Constable Paul, of the borongh police, the result being that a high state of eflici("ncy has ueen attaine(l in ambulauce ,,'ork by the men under their jOillt co mmand. Good meetings were also held at Grantham, Leeds, Retford, and Ardesley, and I feel certain that lJeriodical visits from an officer from head-quarters will be productive of much good, and tend to promote a greater spirit of unity betweell head-quarters, and those During the past year I accompanied the Deputy Commissioner in the provinces. of No. 2 district, when inspectiug clivi iOlls at 'Wolverton, ,Ve tgate-on- ea, and Tunbridge ,Yells. In addition to this, I lIa ve visited Birmingham, Crewe, 'Winsford, Randsworth, Leicester, and Oldham, at all of ,,'hich pla;!e,' good meetings have been h eld, ,,-hen the objects of the brigade were fnlly discussed, anel offers of local support promised and I think fully assured. In the early part of the year I assi,;ted. Dr. :Milnes H ej' (Deputy Commissioner, No, 2 District), in j nclging competitions on tllP Great Ea"tern Railway, and tho e h eld in connection with the Kent Technical Instruction Committee in the county of R ent. In hoth instances the standard. of efliciency was of a very high character, and showed a markcd. improvement all rouud on that displayed iu form er years. In conclusion, I::iir, I trust that th e duties of my oilice bave beef! carried out both to yoU!' satisfaction, and to tbe bellefit of the hrigade. I am, Sil.

At Tibshelf, on the 16th July, I helel an in spection of the Tibshelf and Birchwood Corps under the command of Mr. Stuart 'Vardell, Deputy Commissioner, No. IV. District. There were present:1 superintendent, ~ first officers, 3 second officers, 3 honorary snrgeons, 180 men, ban(l 40. Nurses ,Lady Superintendent, Mrs. '. C. \Vard ell. 2 Chaplains, 3 bearer companies, 9 stretchers, :3 ambulance wagons. The men presented a very neat and creditable appearance, and the sLretcher drill, marching and all parade movements, were smartly and well clOIH'. Various exercises, including bandaging drill, two, thret', and four handed seat drill were also \\'ell performed. The appearance and general efficiency of these two corps is well maintained, and refiects great credit on Mr. Stnart 'Nardell, and Dr. \V. A. Sta.nford, the lIon. Surgeon) and the officers of the corps. Tbe eighLh annual insp ecLion of the Babbington Ambulance Corps was heIr! on the 17th July by thE' Hight Hon. Lord Loch, G,C.B., G. rv1.c.u., and I inspected the corps a.s Commissioner. Surgeon-Major Hutton, the Organising Commissioner of the Association, was also present.

14th Decembe?', 1896. SIR, . I have the hOllOur to suumit t he following report of the work Llone by the Metropolitan Corps during the year 1896. As a whole, the Corps has made satisfactory progress. T he efficiency aml smartness oCsome of th e Divisions leave litt le to be desired, and the public duty perforllled by the Corps shows a notable increase. During the past twelve Il lonths various steps have been taken to enSl1l'e the efficiene~y of members of the Corps. Thus, tho mlc laid down in l)aragraph 6 vf the Geneml Regulatiolls, regarcling re-exatlJinatiol1 of members, has Leen ::;ystematically put in force. I n order tl) secure, ao.; far as possible, a nuifol'lll standard of efficiency, a Centr'l.! Board of ~[e<lica1 Olncers ,,,as con<;titutecl for the year, and the reexaminations have been held by oue of the meml)ers of this Board in conjunction with the honorary surgeons of the scveral Division .

The strength of this division has slightly decreased owing to the names of some of the mE'lllbers ,,'ho have lailed to show an illtere t in thp. "ork heing removed from the roll.

A team under Sergeant Phillips took part in the competitions at the International Life Saving Exhibition and" ere successful in winni.ng the first prize.

Since thc last report, this division lIas made some progress and is in a fairly goo<1 position, although not quite so strong in numbers, several of the 01<1 mumbel's having gone abroad, where it is to be trusted they will continne the good work they so well carried on here. The loss of Hon. Surg-eon ,V. A. Taylor, ~r.D., C.)[., who has gone to practice in Scotland, is to be regretter:!. Mr. A. Todd ,Vhite has, however, taken over the vacant position, and has already done much for the division. The division turned out on Lord Mayor's D'l.y, 1895 ; duty at St. Paul's, 4 times; at Olympia, 10 times; Fire Brigade Tournam ent; :DIilitary Tournament; iLeyton County Ground; Church Parade, Chapel Royal Savoy; opening of Ley ton Town Hall, 18th March. During the year the division has takPn duty on Wall stead Flats every puhlic holiday; this division being the first to undertake duty there. During the various holidays, many accidents were attended to, and some of such a serious nature as to necessitate their removal to ,Vest Ham Hospital. The attendance for .drills has been on an ayerage 15 per man.

The division has made SOlOe progress during the past twelve months. It is not so strong as regards numbers, many members having left or been removed from the strength, owing to their having failed to make tllemseh'es efiicicnt. Members have attended at Blackheath for open space duty OIl each Bank Holiday, and 20 cases, some of a very severe description, have bcen treated by individual mem bel's, whilst following their employment and on other occasions, who in many insbtnces received praise from members of the medical profession for the way in which they had treated the patients .

'1'he number of ick as:>isted has been ~34 : 750 articles have been i 'suell on loan from the tores: 4~ 4 nursing visits have been paid by the members and trained lady nurse (in 1 94 the visits were 2500). The experiment of engaging a lady nurse to ,york with the memhers has been very successful, and to this is due the great increase of the work. The accounts of the Treasurer show that the expenditure has amountell to £149 2s. 7d., including the nurse's salary and rent of room for the stores, but that has been met by the subscriptions and douations to the St. John Ambulance Association Nursing Division.

Inspections have been held at various parts of the district, but owing to the divisions being so. cattel'ed o\'er its l:1rge area, it has not been fouml possible to inspect each one during this year. On October 10tb I held au inspection at \\' olverion, accompanied hy the hricralle chief superintendent.

No, III. DISTRICT. COU~TY .

No. IlL- Central and Eastern District. SIR, 1 have the honour to sllhmit the following as llly Annual Repo l t for No.3 District for the year ending September 30th, 1 96. The Central and Ea tel'll District to which I haye recently had the hOllOur of being appointed Deputy Commissioner, is Il0t only a largc, uut a very important one, inasmuch as it contains some 0[' the oldest and most distinguisbed corps in the brigade, such as BirmilJgham, Leicester, Northampton, and ' Yellingbor0ugh. Ea,iug only rpceived my appointment in August, I IJave not yet had an opportunity of inspecting many of the corps or division in the District, but the circular letter I addres. eel to the supt'ril1tendents and secretarie has lH.' en so promptly answered, that I am able to giye the strength and particular of each corps and division in detail. T here has been a substantial increase since last year's report, both in the number of officers and men, as well as in new corps and llivisions. During the year the Dudley and Kettering Diyisions have become corps, and I pswich will shortly he increased to one. Kew divisions have bern ronnet} at Dest'ord ill cOllllection with the Leicester Corps, at Rushllen, Finedon, Ringsteacl, and , Yol1astoll in cOlJ1lection with the ,Yellingborough Corps, new country clivi ions at Towcester, Dayentry, Brix\\'ortb, Hackleton allci Greens Norton have heen added to the Northampton Corps, llCW divisions formec} at Delmont HoI\'. palkbrook, Spalkhill, allcl Gleet in connection "'ith the Birmingham Corps, at Burton Latimer, Crallfonl, a11(l rt poli ce division for the Kettering Corp, t\\'o new tlivi~iolls at Dudley, and a new police On the othl'r hanel, the divisions at tau\\'ick, Great llivision at Ips,.... ich. Addington, amI Irthlinguol'ollgh in the '\Yellingbo1'ough Corps IJaye cea ell trl exist, hut it is hoped that one will be again refO\'lllCll during the Plluing wintcr, and t\l'O clivisions at Eand~worth have sevel'eu their connection with the Birmingham COl'l'~' I am glad to be ahle to rellort an increase ill tIle strength of the lI111si1lg rlivisions, and trust that this branch of' am bnlance work will go 011 deyclopillg, as there is no limit to the amount of good that may 1 e del'ivell from di. tl'i ct llU1'sill~. There is no reason "'hy the sick poor slJonld llOt lIe "isited in their own homes by the nursing sisters of this Association, much in the same way as lnrlies (,<1l'1'yout the duties ot district visitors in their 01\'11 p:ll'i"l1es. In tllis re pect ,Yellingborough may well be taken as an eXill11ple, for in that town, members of the lHU' illg tlivi8ion H.nder the supervisioll of their Queen's nurse, paid last year over 700 visits to the SICk poor, as well as letting out on loan nul' ing material such as ,mter bClls and pillows, and other siek room requisites. A successflll camp was again hel(l in Lilfol'd Park at ,Yhit. t1ntide, when detachments froll1 the various corps and divisions in the No:'thamptoll and ,\Vellingl10rough distJ ict wen t u1lder can vas for t1J C week. Th e camp was insp ec ted by the Commissioner, ('olonel Thackeray, C.]~., Y.c , and all l'an1<s secmed to be greatly bemfitec1 by the week's training. The Eastern District contains 25 divi.·ioll., with an a~gregatc membcl'R1Jip of S2.'i officers and men belonging to the Great En tern Railway Corps. They form a separate corps with their own officers and superintendent sec)'etn]'y, and are not included in the statistics for No.3 district. I n conclusion, I wish to take this opportunity of i hanking the superjlJtelltl en ts and secretaries of the various corps aIla divisions for the prolllpt mal1lH'l' ill which they replied to my circular letter on assnming ~harge of the district, and for the help they have afforded me in compiling the annnal returllS . AccOml~an}:ing this Report is a Jist of (,Ol'pS and divisions formillg the Celltral amI Eastern dIstncts, as well as an Abstract Table giving the strength and particulars or e'l.ch. I have the hr))1Our to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, GE01:GE S.

In ]lresellti ng our second aDHual repon \\'e regret to say there has been a slight decrf'8.se in Humber ', owing to a few not having put in thc r ecluisite number of attendances, according to Rule 2. On the other hand \\'e are plea ed to say that a nursing division has been formed COll i. ting of 23 ladies, who have passed their examination uud er the tuition ot Dr. Hitchon. DUl'inp; the past year "first aid " h as been rendered by our members in 69 cases of accident and su<lt.ien illness. The division attended the review of the Lancashire Ambulance Corps h eld at Rochdal e on September 21st, 189:\ amI took two Dr"t pri7.rs. Th e laclies also di"tinguished themselves, !l.llLl obtained the first position in the competition, for which, h0\\"ever, no prize was awardell. We desire to record that t111'ough the generosity of the public, the h clp of ~ nperinteudent Koblett and officers, and the Co.operative Society, \\'e have been enabled to purchase stretchers and other stores n ecessary for the carrying on of our work. We have also placed seven boxes iu prominent parts of the tOl\'n, filled with "first aid" appliances whieh have pJ'ovcll very hel1elicial in as~i 'ting those who have been ::;0 unfortunate as to r eq uire them . lY e desire to i1lJpress upon our members the necessity of a regular attendance at practiccs, in onler that they lIla.y lle thoroughly equ ipped to rellder "first aitl·, successfully ia any accident that they lllay be called to.

Since the formati01: ?f. this div~si?n in July, 1893, it has grown and increased in usefulness. A 211~ chvlslOn, .consl~tlllg ?f certificatell members of the Police Force, has l:ecently bee~ tormed, whlCh wIll bnng the st;·en.gth IIp to a corps during the ensumg year. 'l he change of head-quarters to Chl'lst Church l\lan::;ioD touether with the ~lse of the I?rill ~all once a month will give a great impetus to ~l1lb~lance work dun~lg the c.Oll1ll1g wlllter, antI the Hum bel's are expected to largely increase. A. pub11c .meetll1g was heltI in the Lyceum Theatre on June 4th, under the presuleney o[ the :Mayol',. \~hen Lord Kllutsford accompanied by Colouel Thackeray, C.B.!. V .

Drills have ueen carried on weekly during the summer, and fortnightly dming the wiuter months. Squads with stretcher and material have b~eu in attemlance at all football matches, sportf;, &c. Numerous accident~, some of a serious nature, ha\'e been dealt with, huther partil'ulars conce1'lling which accompany this report. Members of the corps are to be fouud in nearly all the factories, and their aid has been repeatedly required . T he transport service, whlCh has hitherto fallen upon a few men, is being e(ficiently developed and organiseu. A gencral hospital for the Kettering district is now in course of err-dion. Upon the occasion of the layi1lg of the memorial stones, the corps made its first appearance in public mustering 0 strong. A section of the ,Yellingborongh corps, under Cilief Superilltel1llent , Voolston, were good enough to join The want of a central and suitable room for head-quarters was a senous difficulty prior to the appointment of the pre':>ellt chief officer. This need has now be~n \Yell supplied. Arrangements arc heing made for a serietl of lectures to the corps by the honorary surgeons, to whom hearty thallks are due for their cordial co-operation during thr- past year. Uniform is 110W "'01'11 11Y some members of the corps, and it is hoped that the number will increase. From the enclosed report of the Supt. Secretary for last year, it will he observed that the movement bas had to contend with serious financial dimculties, the present outlook, in this respect, is much more favourable. Particulars of some of the cases in which "first aid" has been given 1.;y the Kettering Ambulance Corps, 1896 :Member of football team-fractured leg during match .

This division remains the same strength as last year, although it wa hoped that t?e ambLl~allce cIa s.e al'langerl by the County Council Committee would have consHleralJly mcreased It.

Your Oommittee ha\e pleasure in reporting the satisfactory natl1l'e of the "Wol'k accomplished during the past year. The cases in which first ai(l hal:; been rendered are more numerous than ever, and a vast amount of pain aml suffering has been relieved by the care by which it has heeD achninisteretl. The following are amongst some of the cases in which "first aid" lIas bepn rendered: -Fractured thigh, fracture of the skull, arterial bleeding (causeu by the bursting of a bottle), scalp woullds, broken jaw, dislocation!:l, scaluetl arm, concussion of the brain, and numerous cases of epilepsy. The Ohief uperintelldent reports, the work 01 the corps has been steadily maintained during the past year. The combiued practices have been kept up, allt! have pl'o\-ed valuable to all \"ho took part in them . One uew division has been started at Desford during the year, and the Ohief Superintendent attencle(l the inaugural meeting. This ,vas to ome extent the outcollle of a puhlic (lemull::.tratiull held in the winter, under the cllairmanl:;hip of Dr. Gordon I~elly, with the Ohief Superintendent in cha.rge of the practical work. An invitatioll came from Nailstoll e to atten(l a combined meeting of colliers from fom neighbouring col1ierirs, /01' the Jllirpose 01 discussing tbe formation of a joint divisi~n for thi neigbuomhood. The managers of each colliery were there ill pel' on, or by deputy ill oue case, and it is hoped shortly to have a purely colliery division in this neighlJour1100c1, The 11rincipal featme of the year has been the Boynl Agricn1tmal 'how, at wlli ch members of the various town divi~iol1s asi 'ted the Loudoll contingent. Th e President, Sir ,Valter Gilbey, expresse(l his approbation of thp, arrangements maue, and thought they \\'ere the most complete amI satisfactory he had seen ill allY to\\ n they hall vi~ited, Dll1'ing the week 71 cases were treated. On the occasioll of th e Royal visit, at the reCJuest of the police, four stations were mallllPu on the line of route from the railway station to the show ground, and 17 cases were trea.t('ll. :Many ca!:les we know have been treated uy our \\len, uut very few reported. 0lle of the ,,-orst was a boy run over, and attellded by a member of the town diyisiol1 i broken Ipg and suuury cnts. A lady cyclist fe1l Ull<]er a tram sustaining compound fractnre of leg with terrible flesh wound with extecsive hremorrltage, was attended by p, O.

There has heen a suustantial improvement this year in all bmnche of the work of the abuve corps. Vlll'i ng the year the weekly drills and practices held at the J oIthamptoll I nfil'mal'Y lla "e been exceedingly well attended and marked progres ' in clliciency of work sho\\'n. Detachments attendell the local Annual Cycle Parade in July, the Amateur Athletic tiports at T Ol'thamptol1 in August, County Oricket Club Sports, and also the InfiImary 'port ill May. Throughout the football eaSOl) the corps provided a detachment for duty at Franklin':-; Uanlells to nUellL1 the matches at the t. James Rugby Foothall Cluh. At all the foregoing event every case that neetleLl "fir t aill" wa promptly alhl carefully attended to. The corps has attendell church parades at All 'aints Church, Northampton, also at Dustr)l), Ringstborpe, and, Earls BartolI. , ocial eYellings and concert. were llehl (alltl proceedings reported at head -quarters), and were well attel1<letl lIming the" inter month at N ortbampton, Earl Barton, and Kingsthorpe. N e\\' country divisions are {'orming, or have been formeu during the year at Towcester, Davelltry, Brix\\'orth, IIackleton, GLnJ. Green Norton. Furty more men have adopted the uniform, making a total of over 100 of1jcers and men wearing the uniform of the urig;lCle. The trau port service has accomplished YelY good work during the year. Tllere 11a\'e been in all 4~ ca 'e , of which 16 ha.ve needed the use of the pair hoI' e ambulance, 15 have needed the tl e of the one horse ambulance, and 10 have needed the use of the hand litters. OIfictr have been engaged 24 times, superullmerary ollicers 36 time', and member 39 times. Over 300 miles have lleen travelled hy road. The llew pneumatic tyre,l amun]ance carriage ha been used for 17 journeys covering over 150 miles, nearly all duriu.g the ",illt!"r months, alHI is giving nnboundell satisfaction. The transport serVIce at Northampton is self-sUPl)orting, and all oflicer and men give their time and trained services gratuitously. Thirty ollieel'l' and men attended the Brigade Camp at Lilford Park under the eommand of their Chief Superintendent. All were plea ed and uenefiteu 1>y the week' training. The reports from the Superintendent of the county divisions ha.ve been invariably good, amI lllarl{ec1 progress seems to have been macle everywhere, especially at PauleI' pury, Earls Barton, Dn tOll, and Ringstholpe. The corps has purchased a cycling stretcher carrying attachment invented by S. Sergt. Gardner. It can be attach ell to allY two cycles of approximate height,

33 1

330 and will carry a patient weighing 18 ston~, making a com fortabl~ and e~sy method of conveyincr injured people for sllOrt dIstances. The annual lDspecboll of the corps was held at Earls Barton, under Lord Compton, M.P., the President. There was a good muster from the outlying divisions of the corp', and under the command of Chief Superintendent Perry they, were taken through a m~mber of strctcher, bandaging, and oth er drills. The va,nous movements and evolutlOns were perforDlerl in a fairly creditable manner, and after the ,march past the men formed a sql1~re and Lord Compton presented thc m~dalhons, and addressed the corps on Its performances that day. I n t~e evel~lDg the members of the c~rps, suppor~etl by L ord Compton and other frIends dmed together, and a very enjoyable evelllDg was spent.

There have been 40 cases of "first aid" r:~r~leJ duung the year, aml there have also been several other cases which have not been duly reported, and, unfortunately, there is no record of them.

A SLlm of £~5 was generously COI1tributed towards the purchase of the litter and material by the Technical Instruction Committee for the Borough of Shrewsbury, out of the funds allocated to them, and sanctioued by the Technical Instruction Committee of the Salop County Council, and whiuh on behalf of the corps is most gratefully ackllowledgeu.

After the inspection, the competition was held for tbe County Challenge Cup and five medals, and also for five medals for the second best team. Th e Cup was Wall by a sc)uad from ,Velliogborough Headquarters, and the medals by a squad frol11 Northampton H ead-quarters. In May, 84 officers and men were inspected by Li eut. -Colonel Hill, in ,Vollaston Park. Hospital tents were piLch ed, and a very instrucLi ve drill, with horse ambulance ami other equipment, was carried out. The Head-quarters Division at Wellingborough k ee ps up its reputation and good numbers. On this division falls thl} bulk of the work, the transport service alone taxing th e time and skill of the members. The whole of the material at headquarters is available night and dny, and the horsc ambulancc can be, and often is, turned ant under 15 minutes. During the year 1~8 cases of "first 2.id" have been reported, the hal' e ambulance has travelled, with medical and acci(lcnt cases, 502 miles, and the wheeled litter 299 miles.

334 Seven squads competed, and I was much gratified by the high class ambulance work for my judgment. I may here refer to the great interest taken by this Railway Company in ambulance work. It is one of their pecial cares to have all their men in tructed in "first aid." Mr. Meldrum, their manager, is a keen ambulance man; he gives all the as~istal1ce antI encouragement he possibly can towards ambu~auce skill. The example set by the Cheshire Lines Railway might well be followed by other cOlllpanies in Lancashire. On the 13th Junc, 1896, I inspected the Jorth East Lancashire Division at Southport. The review was held in the Recreation Grounds kindly l ent by the Corporation, and the following sixteen corps and uivisions para Ifd: Brierfield LongridgE', Barrowford, Preston, Colne, Read, Clitheroe, Hapton, Walton-Ie-dale: abden, Accrington, Burnley, Nelson, Padiha.m, Blackpcol And Whalley, with a total strength of 3[ 8 officers and III en. Ambulance material cOllsisteu of 39 At the same time 13 stretcher" 11 litters, and 1 horse ambulance carriage. nursing divisions were inspected, including the following: Reau, Blackl'ool, Pauiham, Nelson, Colne, Burnley, Brierfield, Accrington, Preston, Barrowlord, Clitheroe, Longridge and Hapton, numbering 161 nursing sistcrs. A competition took place, th e judges being Dr. Jones, of Northanljltou, and Dr. Audlnnd, of IVellingborongh. Th ese gentlemen awarded the First Prize and Cup to Nelson; Second, Burnley; Third, Brierfield. In the Nursing Competition the Challenge Shield went to Barrowfol'd. Seconcl Prize, Accrington; Third, Hlackpool. The Review Prizes for the best corps or division on the field werc placed as follow : Longridge 1st; Accrington 2nd; Blackponl 3rd.

I \\'as greatly pleased with all I saw, anu in addreHsiug the parade afterwards I tried to convey my satisfaction with the work and turn out to all ranks. All the corps and divif;ions appeared in uniform. The nursing si tel'S presented their usual smart and effici"ll t appearance. Iuch credit i due to l\IiEs Fletcher, of Accrington, the hard working Secretary of the nursing divisions, and it afrOI'd. me much gratification to mention her name. The Mayor of outhport anel the Corporation showed us much kindness, as did a1. 0 Ml'. Kershaw, the late chief ronstable: but 1 am sorry to record the fact that the resiuellts of outhport evinced little interest in the review, as indicatcd by the small attendance. I sincerely trust that ambulallce enlightenment nlay soon dawll on this f,L~lIiol1able watering place. I forwardell to the Comlllis~i(111er a spE'ciall eport on tlli review in July last. I wa" present as judge at a competition held at Preston in .Jul", and I thcre aw some pxcellent work :ll1d squad drill ill acrordance with the Drill ~[allual. 1st August 1 ]llOceedeu to ,Yill sJ'ord and inspected this division. The men paraded under Sllperintendent Heathcote in the grounds attached to the residence of Mr. Rigby, kindly granted for the occa, ion. I witnessed SOllle marching and stretchPr drill, which was good. A heavy thunuer- torm coming 011, we were llriven to shelter, lvIt-. Rigby placing his billiard-room at our disposal. I questioned the men on "first aid," and was quite satisfie(l ,vith the answers. I woulel specially bring under notice the name ot ~lr. H eathcote. He is a most enthusiastic ambulance man, and doe some excellent work in the neighbourhood. The inspection of the Keswick division took place on the 10th August; 4 office]'. and 11 men paraded. Canon Hawnsley, a "first aid" certificate llolcler, and the Chairman, 111'. Hall, were also preseut. The new drill manua I was being tan~ht. I wirnrs!;p.d some very g00d stretcher exercises, and other (!rills. I was ciuite satisnt"cl ,\,ith ,,'hat I saw. I inspected the Rochdale corps on 12th Septelll her. The parade COll 'isted of Chief Surgeon Sellers, Chief Superintendent Buck, uperin1endent Ingham, 4 other officers anrl 37 rank and file. I ,-vas shown a considerable an'ount of' ba))claaing, attention to various a~cident'>, coupled with stretcher exercises, all thcse ueingOwell a~d.c:ll'efully executecl. I also had the pleasure of seeing the Rochdale Nursing DIVlSlOl1 nnder Lady Superintenrlent Miss Tnwnencl, consisting of the ~ uperil1tcndent, Secretary, and 9 nmsing sisters. I questioned thvse ladi".s OllllUl'siug, an~l saw them apply t.he roller handage. I can report on this nursing division as bell1g t.horoughly e0-Clent. I was paid the compliment of being asked to present medallIons and certlfi cates to those entitl ed to such and I nee<1 not say how gratified ' 1 was to fan in with the reque.~t. On the 29th September I was present at a distribution of Certificates by the Right Hon. Sir M. White Ridley, H.M. Chief Secretary for the HOl1le Department, submitt~d

to the Blackpool ladies, "first aid" class. The Grand Theatre, Blackpool, was most killllly lent free of cost by Ml'. Sargenson.

Derham, Assistant Commissioner, carried out the following inspections:Bradford, 15th Augnst, 1896 ; Roy ton (nursing division also) 8th September, 18£16 ; Hebden Bridge, 15th September, 1896. I fOl'\va.nl herewith Assistant Commissioner Derham's statements respecting these inspections, allll I take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Derham for all the assistance he has given me in carrying out my duties. It will be seen from Mr. Derham's reports that for the most part he was pleased with what he saw, but as he put it, there is ample room for improvement in many respects. I quitc endorse all Mr. Derham's remarks. In some instances the members o[ corps and divisions do not seem as yet to have gra ped the importance of attending the inspections of their corps or division. By the Brigalle Rule this is not an optional matter, but strictly compulsory. I am sorry to report that thc after-named corps allLl divisions could not arrange for their respective inspection. I sincerely trust that this may not take place again. Birkenhearl, JIel1illelu, and Penrith.-To the Chief Surgeons and Honorary urge 0 11 of I o. IV.

A competition was then commenced in the prcsencc of the l\Iayor ancl a large assemblage o~· people, for a silver challencre shield, the sflllads com prisillg the Braclfonl Corps, the Rail way Corps, and the Police. The worl- consistell of bauclaging, application of splints to fractured limbs, carrying WOHllllcll by hallLl seab:;, strctchcr drill, artificial respiration (Sylvester's method), verbal Cl uestions and answers.

tocrether with the Hull and Barnsley Railway, and the Manchester, Sheffield an Li~colnshire Railway, arranged trips from such distant places as Cardiff, Newcastle, London , Liverpool, and Wisbeck. Th e Hull Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brignae felt that this was an occasion on which it might fairly be said that some arrangements for rendering" first aiJ " were necessary. The Mayor, Alderman C. Richardson, and through him the Market Committee of the Corporation was approached, and after some negotiation the latter provided !t canvas and frame booth, 12ft. by 9ft., which, during the continuance of the Fair was used as a "first aid" statiOl!. Thirty·seven officers and men from the Central and Peel Street divisions, and 7 nursincr sisters from the nursing divisioll undertook the duty under the direction of Chief Superintendent Hopper and Superintendent Secretary Krause &.ud .Divisional Superintendents Wingate and Tunnarde. Mrs. Laverack, the Lady Supenntendent, took an active part in the work, and Chief Surgeon Milburn also visited and inspected the station every day. Th e station was open from October lOth to 18th, from 9 a. m. to midnight each day, and detachments of at least 3 members Juring the day and at lea st 6 in the evening j 2 nursing sisters in the afternoon, and 2 in the evening were constantly in attendance for tours of duty of 5 hours duration, the police taking charge from midnight to 9 a. m. No less than 39 accidents were treated, being principally caused by falls from swing 01' roundabouts, 01' being burns caused bv lighting paraffin. Four cast's were so severe as to require careful removal to the infirmary, including a gun accidcntand a kick from a horse upon the mouth, and a fifth, a case of slight concussion of the brain, was removed to the patient's home. Classifying these cases we find there were: Cuts and wounds, 15 j faints and fits, 10 j foreign bod if's in the eye, 4; sprains, 3 j burns, 2 j fracture and dislocation, 4 j concussion, 1-39. And the patientl: came from Hull and district, 2 j Bridlington, ~; Sheffield, 2; London, 2; Grimsby, 2; Manchester, 1; l\1iddlesborough, 1; Gainsborough, 1-39. In addition to these 4 lost children were taken care of by onr lady nurses until they conld be restored to their parents. Many thanks are due to the Chief Con table, Captain Guerney, his officers, and men for their kind co-operation and help they have given in removing patients. The Hull Corps are to be congratulated upon their successful maintenance of a station at the Fair ground, which is situated about 2 miles from the infirmary, and is the largest in the kingdom. It is hoped that in future years a somewhat more extensive and substantial accommodation will be provided for the ladies and gentlemen who give their services, as a well-ventilated canvas cover is not a sufficient protection during Hull Fair week. The rainfall during the week was l. 92 inchml. E. F. KRAUSE,

368 SOUTH AFltICAN COUNCIL,

The report of the first active service detachment in South Africa is hereunto attached, and the Council trust that the good ,,"ork performed by the members of the detachment will stimulate those of other centres and sections to form themselYes into organised bodies. The Council hereby tender their very ,varmest thanks to thc ladies and gentlemen of the detacllllJent on their work, and on the most excellent manner in which thcy carried it out, thus earning the highes t praise from the local (Transvaal) medical authorities. The Council records with pleasure the admirable work done by certificated Impils at Johannesburg, particularly during the terrible dynamite eX1110sion in F ebruary last. No sooner did the serious nature of the calamity become kno,,·n than a large number of members hurried to the scene of the accident, and there rendered most excellent service. The Council desire to mention specially the names of Captain BIeksley (Chairman of the centre), of ~Ir. Leslie-Daniels (the Honorary Secrctary), and of Mr. W. C. Cavenagh (insh'uctor), who did yeoman service amongst the wounded and dying. The sympathetic link uniting all members was notably exemplified on a subseCiuent occasion. When muses were tillobtainable at the Rand, the Council was instrumental ill ecuring from Cape ToY,n the services of trained nurses in sufficient numbers to cope satisfactorily with the fearful amount of suffering of the victims. The services of the brigade in stores in equipment belonging to Cape Town, volunteers and nurses, have been offered to the British South African Company for acti,-e service in the Matabele campaign. The Company havc expressed their thanks for the oifer, and signified their intention of calling for .tid in case of need.

After discussion it was r esolved to form a corps, and the election of officers was IJrocceclccl with. I t was decided to offer the position of Honorary Slll'geon to Dr. Barnett, and that gentleman was good cnough to place his serviecs at the rlisposal of the corps.
