The City of Dublin Nursing Institution was n.ppli d to by the P001' Law A th " . N U ontles to sOlld 1WO nurses to the Island and t

urses Kenny and F. D. McAlister illunodiately left Dublin,' IV nt

10 by train to Ballina, and thence by car to Belruullet (45 miles), They then crossed by open boat to the Island of Inniskea,lyin!1 in the open Atlantic. They found the inhabitants living in hut~ which had neither doors or windows. In son18 of these hovels there were four or five cases of typhus fever, and sheep, pigs,and fowls occupied the same buildings with the patients, None of the patients had any change of clothes, and there was not upon the island any building suitable for the reception either of sick persons or of the nurses. The nurses ,yho first went to the i land had to cook both for the patients and for themselves, to wash their own clothes, and to do everything tha t was po ible under the circulllstances for the patients also. The food was scanty, and of very bad quality, There were no beds, and when the nurses had done a hard day's work in all the filth and misery prevailing among the people they werc often unable to cook any food for their own use, and had to go without food. They had at one time forty-eight cases of typhus to nUl' e in the separate huts, and had to visit all these pat18nts two 01' three times a day. They made no com plain t, bu t worked Oll un til they both broke down, and both took typhus fever from thosc whom they were attending, , While in fever, each with a telnperature of over 103 clegs. F"lt was necessary to relllO'le them from the island in an open b~at, and for six hours they were at sea. They were wet through WIth the spray which washed over the boat, and finally they were brought to a very poor hospital at Belmullet, where they remained in great danger for several weeks, and ultimately when convalescent returned to Dublin. Three rnore nurses were sent down by the City of Dublin Nursing Institution, two to take their places upon the island and one to nurse them at Belmul1et. Both the nurses Carson and oyle who were sent out to Inniskea worked there until they also took the fever, and of two nurses, McMunn and Fitzn1aurice, who were sent to replace them, Nurse Fitzmaurice also took the fever, so that out of eight nur~es . Jor sent down five got the fever, and of these three wel e considerable periods in danger of their lives.

11 The hardship, dirt, want of food and necessaries were beyond description, and the devotion of the nurses beyond praise. Among the difficulties which they had to contend with was the fact that fllthough some of the lllen could speak a little English, none of tho women upon th i land could speak or understand any language but Gaelic. O,yin o' to their care there was uut one death during the epidemic, though a very large numhcr of the cases were very senons. The names of' thcse ladj s were urought to the notice of Her Royal Highne s the Prin c '.. of \\Tnlc' by the iountc of Arran, the wife of the Lord Lieutenn,nt of the ounty Mayo, and were referred to the Chapter l)y (ljrection of H,R.H. the Grand Prior, the petition asking that .

While this report was in press the names of other ladies, and of officers in the Indian Medical taif, who have rendered sinular conspicuous services during the plague outbreak, have been submitted by the India Office for recognition, the distinction cenferred upon them being published in the list of New Year's Honours, J anuary 1st, 1899.

The Right Honble. the Earl of' J.Jathom, G.O.B., enrolled a Knight of Justice, 18th July, 1888, died on the 19th November, 1898. The loss of the Chancellor will be a deeply deplored by the confreres of the Order as it has by those numerouS friends who had the privilege of his personal acquaintance. Lord ~athoD1 occupied the office of Ohancellor from 1894 clown to the tIme of his decease, and was never backwanl in furthering the best interests of the Order to the utmost extent in his power. The Right Honble. the Earl of Winchil ea and N ottingha~ enrolled as Knight of Justice, 3rd June, 1891, died on the 7til September, 1898. Lord Winchilsea was a member of the Coun~. for three years, and during that time, as during the whole of J~ membership, took much interest in th e work of the Ordel.

13 Her Majesty the Queen of' Denmark, nrolled as Honorary Lady of Justice, 19th April, 18 7, died on the 30th "eptember, 1898. The respectful sympathy of the Orel I' with H.H.H. the Grand Prior and with H.R.H. the Princ s of "Vale ' at this family bereavement has been 'uitably expressed by the hapter and acknowledged by Their I o)'al Hio'hne ses. The Rev. J01n \ Voodward, LL.D., enrolled as haplain, 2nd June, 1868, died on the 4th J un : 189 : and The Right Rey. Dr. 'hade Todel QuintaI'd, Bishop of Tennessee, cnrolled a' Honorary harlain, uth :F ebruary, 1 G , died on the 15th Mar -h, 189 '. Both the i 'hor of Tenne ee and the Rev. J. \Vooel ward 'were almost the olde·t on the li t of Chaplains, and both took the cleel e ·t inter st in it work and progres in connection with more th,m one of it , Department '. Although :JIr. ,Yooclwarel's re 'icl 1le in 'cotland prevented hi taking an actiYe pel' 'onnl pad in th) < fi:'lir of the Order, yet like the Bi hop of Tenne. ,dlO rarely failed to visit t.

Dr. ,Villiftllls Hteven Perry, Bi hop of Iowa, enrolled as Honornry hnplain, 22nd Fellruary, 1 ' 98, died on the 13th May, 189R. Althongh a junior member he took the most lively intere't in th ft:!t',Lir' of the Oreler, and would doubtless Lut for hi, ' untim 1y tleath have been one of it be tknown Chaplain. Sir John S.

14 Committee of the Anlbulance Department. One of the pioneers of the work of the Order in New Zealand, he was enrolled as an Honorary A ociate in recognition of hi very distinguished efforts in the furtherance of ambulanco work in that colony, where his loss will long be felt by more than one entre with which his name had been most intimately connected. The following awards for gallantry in ayin o' life on land, have been made since the last publication of the Annual Report, and were presented by H.R,H. the Prince of 'Vale, Grand Prior, at :Marlborough House, on Friday, 8th July, 1898.

Constable Bennett, after haying ucceeded m brmgmg the men out of the celiaI', resorted to artificial respiration, and brought the men round before the arrival of the doctor, who stated that but for Consta ble Bennett's pronlpt and courageou action the lives of the three nlen would have be n lost. Beilllett was himself very much exhausted by his exertions in the poisonous atmosphere. HENRY ROWE, Warrington (B?'onze lJIedal ({w((nZecl.)

Rowe pulled the horse down and fell beneath it, sustaining seve~'e internal injuries. Had it not been for Rowe's prompt and herOIC action the horse would have plunged right into that part of the procession then crossing Sankey 'treet, and loss oflife lllusthave ensued owing to the crowded state of the thoroughfare.

satisfaction to roport, this yef\,r, that n. son e of the importance of the Charity, and of th 0'1' atno of tho work ,vhich it accomplishos, is mcron.

As ono re 'nIt f the chang , the deficit in the pooial incomo of the Ho 'piLal, roquiring to be made up from the gonoral funds of tho Order is I 'by £90 than it was in the year nelino' on the, Oth of ~opt 111be1',] 97. The work of the In.st y aI', a cOlnpared with that of it . predecessor, has been almo t tationH.ry; mainly from the cau e that it is as much as Dr. ant alono can by any po sibility accomplish. Comparing 1896-7 with 1 97 -tl, the n.pplicants for admission Wore 1,182 in the In.tter n. again t 1.124 in the form r : the in-patients admitte 1 (in si.L' lllonth ) were 59 ' as against 569; the new ont-patient 4,4 1 as against 4,640: the attendances on out-pationts 12,0 0 as aO'ainst 12, 1: th operations (in six months) 1 )~ 30 as aO'ain't 1,277; and the administrations of chloroi'orlll (in six month) 683 as aO'ain t 65(). The increase of work whioh markod the yen.r ending in 1 07 Was ~ufficient to bring into pl'OlHinonco tho inn.bility of the HospItal to cope with tho requiroment of tho population of the city and of the sUlTounding country, n.nd rendored it

necessary to make arrangements which, in their practical effect, had an unfortunate but unavoidable tendency to xcluc1e the latter. The doors were opened early on the . Illorn~ng of, e.ach out-patient day, and were closed a oon a patlCnts III sUffi.Clent number to afford full occupation for the day ha~ boon aC~1l11ttecl, I t was therefore nece ary for applicants to arnve. early lll. order to have any chance of being treated; and, as they.found tl1ls out, they came earlier and earlier, until n. crowd . of ton a.ssemblecl during the night., and filled the wn.iting-roolll WIth a rush. as soon a the door were open. For uch nocturnal a, emblmg, the residents in the city hn.d many advantages over country people who often ca.me from renlOte villages: and hence the In.tter were gradually driven out, and deprived of the Leneiits of the char~ty by the former, who were lllostly lllem~ers . ~f the, JeWl h community. A certain anlOunt of v ry lntelbg'lblc chscontent wa in this manner produced: and the attOl~d~n~e of the fellaheen Lecame in a corresponding degree dllllllllshefl and discouritged. , The practice of the Hospital, hith rto, has been to reCelVe out-patients on three days of th ·week, an~l to devote. the. oth~l' three to operation, upon th illll1at s; all SIX days h[\,ymg m.thls way Leen fully occupied: Lut it. is felt by th Con,I1l:~t~ee that the state of things above lescnLec1 ought llOt to Lo ~l1fteled to continue and that the time ha.s come when tho fr~quellt representati~n, made by Dr. Can t as to t~e 11 c,essj ty fo:' fU,l'tl?el' assistance can no longer be put ~\,,'lde for (;onsldClatlOll at a Dlore convenient season.

work which had received scant public attention before the institution of the Convention of Geneva. The extended period for which Colonel ir Edward Thackeray, R.E., K.C.B., IT. Qt., had consented to remain in office having expiTed, H.R.H. the Prince of ,Yales has appointed Colonel C. BowdleI' to the office of Commissioner, the vacancy in No. I. District thereby caused being filled up by the nomination of Inspector-General Belgrave Ninnis, R.N., M.D., as DeputyCommissioner. His Royal Highness has also nominated Assistant-Oommissioner Chas. H. Milburn, M.B, a Acting Deputy-Commi sioner for a new No. VI District, and 1\11'. Hamilton Gatliff' as an Assistant-Comlllis ioner. On Sir Ed·w ard Thackeray's retirement from office, the Committee desires once more to bear testimony to the able and efficient services rendered by hin1 during his tenure of the appointment of Commissioner. The increase and extension of the Brigade during the years he has been in cOlllmand afford the best proof of 1i untiring energy, and his nanle ,,,ill ever be held in grateful remenlbrance for his zealou devotion to its interests during a period of transition, the ontcOll1e of which has yet to be fully understood to be properly appreciated. The experience gained by Colon 1 BowcUer as D eputy-Comluissioner for No. I District has enabled hilll to grasp fully the bearings of many important que tions, which ari e almost daily in connexion with the practical working of so important an organisation, and this has been fully exemplified by the admirably revised edition of the Brigade Regulations, drawn up under his careful supervision, with the assistance of the Deputy-Commissioners, approved by the Central Executive Committee, and sanctioned by H.R.H. the President. These regulations have been compiled with a due reg-n,rd to the maintenance of a high, and yet not excessive, standard of efficiency, while every precaution has been taken not to unduly interfere with the eonvenienee of those who have undertaken, by the very fact of membership, to perform on occasion important public duties for the benefit of the community at large. Not less useful than the revised re<Yulations will be found an "Explanatory Pamphlet" for the information of centres and

classes contempbting the formation of corps and divisions. This has [1lso oeen written oy the Commissioner, whose report on the work of the Brigade during the past year will be found in Appendix D. This report, necessarily condense I, may appear but a bare and statistical record; but, read between the lines, it bears ample witne s to invaluable service to suffering humanity rendered by oilicers and member of all ranks, often at great personal s[1cl'itice, but full), appr ciated ~Ll1cl gratefully recogni ed at its meotin o" by the 1hnpter-General of the Order.

But occasions of this kind are so numerous that it is only possible, from limits of space, to refer to the record in the Brigade report. The annual competitions open to the Brigade, and the contest for the Silver Challenge Shield, presen te 1 to the Railways of England and 'Va.les as a memorial of the Jubilee year, took place at the Portman Rooms, the following sUllllllary being reported : "In the Brigade Competitions Surgeon-Captain Rawnsley, A.M.S.) "and Surgeon-Oaptain Harper, V.M.S.C., were the judges. Four teams " of five men each competed (the Metropolitan Corps being represented "by East Ham Division 1; the Southern and ,Yestern district by the ",Yestgate-on-Sea Division; the Eastern and Oentral district by ",Yellingborough Corps, Headquarters Division No.2; and the North· " Western District by Preston Corps Central Division). In the H.ailway "Competition the judges were Mr. ,Villiam Collingridge, ]}I.~., and "Mr. James Cantlie, F.R.C.S. Five team8 (selected out of Sixteen) "of five men each competed-the Great Eastern Railway (who re~eived " the Silver Ohallenge Shield last year), the Great orthern RaIlway, "the Great Western Rail way, the N orth-Eastern Rail way, and the "Liverpool Overhead Railway, each sending a team. In both com· "petitions there were the same tests, viz., rescuing five persons from H a burning house and resuscitating them by Sylvester's method, " surgically treating a man suffering from certain injuries, and a:l oral and " practical examination in the treatment of specific injuries. Y~sco~l1tess "Knutsford, who was accompanied by Viscount Knutsford, chs~rlbuted " later in the day the following awards to the successful compe~Itors :"Brigade Competition: Silver Challenge Shield. and first prIze (~on· "sisting of five canteens of plate and cutlery), won by the Wellt~g· "borough Oorps team; Silver Challenge Cup, and second PrIZ~ " (consisting of five cases of carvers), won by the East Ham team."third prize (five striking clocks), won by the Preston team j and "the fourth prize (five cruet stands), won by the Westgat~.on.Sea "team. In the Railway Competition, the Silver Challenge ShIeld a~d "first prize (consisting of five marble striking docks), was :1ga(~n "awarded to tbe Great Eastern Railway team, viz., G.

11 "Badges of merit were also gained by the members of the London "Ohatham, and ~over Railway, London and North "\Yestern Railway; "and London, BrIghton, and South Coast Railway tp,ams."

The snccess of the system of "Railway entres," initiated a few yea,rs ago, and adopted by the leading 10lllpanies, has been very gratifying to the '1ommittee. The answer of nIl'.

DI~'TRICT '.-It is gratifying to state that

,,~m. ula?ce .wor~ m the iron milling and colliery districts everywhere " amtams Its mterest. In August last I inspected 548 men and ± "M.?;en who had qualified in -fi rst aid and home llursino- in the

"HI dlesboro' and Cleveland district. The inspection took ~lace at "Y ll\to n. Hall, the residence of ir Joseph Pease Bart. in North "h or {ShIre. The pa.rade was organised by Mr. 'Yay'n m an Dixon who as eVer b " , :' J. Pea een a.ctlve m oU! work.. At the c1o~e of the inspection ir "Oh . se, who IS a Jarge Iron mme alld collIery OWller, as well as "a aIrman of the North Eastern Railway Company, said' it had been "a!~e~t pleasure to see them there. Their exertions on behalf of "wI' ~ ance work. rendered less dangerous in their effects the accidents "hr lIe hoccurred m the dangerous trades of the district, because they "D~t~g t {rom}Jt and sympathetic and valuable aid to the injured. e ors lad told him that the patients they received now suffering

12 " from accidents were brought to them in a be~ter c?ndition, and many "were saved even from decdh by the excellent way 'Ln wh~ch the patients were " given first aid. He was especially pleased to see the ladies who were " taking an interest in nursing and first aid. ' "Another gathering which I attended WI1,S at Basford. The men " belonged to the Nottingham Oollieries of ~ir Oharles Seely, Bart.; and "Oolonel Sir Herbert Perrott, Bart., the Ohlef Secretary of the St. John "Ambulance Association, was the inspecting officer, who said 'that " during his career he had had the advantage of witnessing many such " parades as that, but on no occasion had he been more satisfied than " he had been that afternoon. He emphasised the importance' of men " acquiring ambulance training, and acknowledged on behalf of the St. " John Ambulance Oommittee, the services of the m edical gentlemen "associated with the work, especially referring to Dr. Neilson, the "instructor of the men.' " The competition of the men employed by Messrs. Bell Brothers, in "their extensive collieries in the OOllnty of Durham was held in the "Town Hall, at Durham, on January 15th. This is now an annual " gathering for the Silk Banner. 'There was a considerable gathering of "the men, and the drill was exceedingly well done, and the compebition "very keen, the winning team only being v ery few marks in advance. "I found as judge it required great care and vigilance during the " various drills, so as to be fair in the award. "POLICE.-The police all over the country continue to take great "interest in ambulance work. Recently (February) I drilled 75 men "of the South Shields Borough, and River Tyne Police in the. volu~teer "artillery drill hall at South Shields, who showed an mtelhgent "aptitude for the work, many members of this force had rendered " excellen t service in afr'ordin 0' first aid to in i ured and sick persons. "The Lancashire Oounty Police number 1 G28 men and 1270 of th~se " hold St. John Ambulance Certificates. Oolonel Moorso111, the Oluef " Oonstable, reports to me that ambulance work is encouraged in the " force, its great use being shown on many occasions." "HORSE A~IBULA TOE SERVICE.-The horse ambulance service. in " various parts of the country has done a greed:' amount of g~ocl se~'vlce. "In Birkenheacl tIle ambulance waO'on is kept at the .FIre Brigade " station, and the' SuperinteJldent repo~ts 'the Fire Brigade has l'eceiv~cl "in 1898, 390 calls, all of which have been responded to, and.1ci "addition, 32 cases were attended at the sLatioll. The time occur:l "journeying has been 266 hours and 42 minutes, or an average 0 . "minutes and 2 secon(ls per journey; the distance travelled belD,g " 1,165 miles, or an average of 2-1%- miles per journey. This work l~ (( still increasing owing to the pu blic recognising the advantages l~ "obtaining the services of the horse ambulances. The 390 ca J "included injuries of various kinds, 63 being fractures of the legs an " arms. The cases carried numbered altogether 435, the discrep~ncfs "bet""een the number of calls and the number of cases attencle , "accounted for by the fact that in several instances more thba~ Ol~: " patient was attended to under the same call. The horse am u an

13 "at t,be Jorthern Hospital at Liverpool, was out 949 times, and was "of the greatest use in cases of severe accidents. In smaller towns "like Wcllingborough, orthampton, York, and in country districts "like the Isle of "Wight, the horse ambulances continue to do a vast "amount of good work, which is highly appreciated, both by the public "and the profession, proving in the most forcible way that the "work of the 't. John Ambulance A sociation is a national life brigade "on land, as the Royal National Life Boat Institution is a life brigade "by the sea.' " AMBULANCE 'YORK TO EAME .-" Every effort ha been made by "me during the past year to make the work known to seamen. "Recently I examined classes at the 'eamen's Institute at Middle boro"on-Tees, and al 0 on board th training ship Wellesley, on the Tyne, "a noble in'titution for th training ot' bo) s for the sea, capable of "accommodating some 300 juv nile inmate, and founded SGme 30 "years ago by J ames Hall, E q., J,P" of Tynemo uth. In the TVorlcl of "Waters, the journal of the Missions to 'eamen, for January, it is "stated-' thanks to the encouragement given by the Trinity House, "many lightshipme n bave qualified themselves in rendering first aid to "theinjllred, 0 as to be awarded ambulance certificate. It is a real "work of lllercy to thu qualify oneself for helping a shipmate in "difficulties.' " RAILWAY Al\IDULA CE.-" The work on railway has been well "maintained during the past year. The North Eastern Rail way "Oompany alone, since the formation of their entre in 1 95, ha\'ing "passed 2,050 men, G03 of whom have qualified after pa sing two "re-examination ~ for the medallion. 'oon they will have no le ~s than "170 fully equipped ambulance stations over their system. According "to the last available return, the number of railway servants who met "with their cleath ill a sinO'le y ar was 5-17 to sav nothinO' of 7 14 " h ;-:, ' J b , W 0 were 11101' or less seriously injured. The majority of these ca es "occur during shuntil1g and coupling operation, as is shown by the "fact that one in every tw Iv shunters is injured dUl'inO' the twelve ;: ~ont~ls, while in regard to brakesmen and goods gual'ds,Othe propor"tlO n IS one in fifteen. Oonsiderable discussion has been goi!:1 g on "about the, heavy loss of life and serious non-fa,tal accitl nts that take placeon rmlwaysamonbO' this classof s rvants and the Local Government "B oare1recently sent ont an official (1\11'. Hopwood) ' to inquire into the cc system pUl'su eJ. in America an 1 allada. onsiderable progress has ,,~een made with automatic coupling in America, with the 1'C ult that in CC' 97, there were 219 less m n killed, and 4,99-1 less men injured than "Il~ 1893. In Canada the rail way companies were so impresseJ. with the "a vdaputages of the system that bothon the Grand Trunkand th Oanadian " an 1 a?l'fi c.Rvailways these couplings were employed wholesale without ,,~ny eglslatlOn to enforce it. The railway companies in the United King;, o~a~'edOllbtless fully ali ve to their own in terests and that of their men~ an Will do all they can to effect improvements that will not only Ie sen C(

14 "accidents, but also considerably reduce eXl?ense in working, It must "however be rE::mem bered that whatever IS done, casualties amon " railway servants in the perfo:mance of their duties must continue t~ "occur, and hence the necessIty for a good ambulance service easily "available over the whole railway system of the country " '

" HOllIE HYGIENE.-The course of instruction in Home Hygiene has "engaged my attention, and I have endeavoured to make it known every"where, In a paper I read, as delegate from the St_ John Ambulance " ~ssociation, atthe ~ongress~ftheSanitar~ Institu,te held at Birmingham " m September I saId, 'by thIS course of mstructlOn on Home Hygiene " it is hoped to establish classes on similar lines to the first aid and "nursing classes, so as to diffuse a practical knowledge of sanitary "science and the laws of health, which will enable those acquiring it to "keep their bodies and homes in a healthy condition, thereby tending " to check the occurrence and spread of disease, It is hoped to carry "the classes not only into our large cities and towns, but also what is "most desirable, into our villages and among our rural population " generally, ·W ithin the last few years local government in Counties "has entered on new lines, and we now have County Councils, and "District and Parish Councils, and it is thought that by means of " instruction in Home Hygiene, a better knowledge of sanitary matters "will be diffused both among these public bodies, and the rural "population, In the discussion that is now going on about the treat" ment of consumption and other tuberculous diseases, there can be no " doubt that this instruction will be of good service, The Times in a "leading article of N ovem ber 17th, 189 , said, the control of tuber" culosis in all its forms will be more effectually brought about by the " exercise of proper care in our households than in anything else-light " - ventilation - drainage - water supply, &c" &c, It is precis~ly " this knowledge the St, John Ambulance Association is enc1eavounng "to effect by its course of instruction in Home Hygiene, and ~he "Association looks confidently forward by its wide and extenSIVe "organization all over the country to spread the system of Ho:n e " Hygiene far and wide to every village in the Kingdom, and to brlllg "the knowledge of its utility and its application within the rang~ of the (( whole community, By this means also we shall doubtless assls~ C?ll" siderably the efforts that are being made by the Nation al A')socI,atJOll "for the prevention of consumption and other forms of tuberculosIs."

In March, 189 , notice was drawn by an old member of the Examining I 'taft' and member of the Committee to the fi~ld of usefulness which lay open to the Association in calling public attention, through the agency of its InanuaJs and classes, t.o the steps which Inight be tak.en for the prevention n,nd exterll1-

nation of consmnption and other forms of tuberculous disea e and of typhoid fovel'. The suggestions suLmitted by the nlCmber refel'1'ecl to-Dr, C.

16 The same satisfactory reports continue to be received from St. John's House at ,V Ol'cester, where certificated pupils are permitted to go through a course of District Nursing, and the (( Fourteenth Annual Report" has lately been received from the Richmond Nursing Guild, which is associated 'with the local centre, though not connected with the Brigade, and which performs ~very useful and beneficent work among the sick poor, there being a large increase this year in the number of cases visited. THE IKV ALID TRAXSPORT CORP. '.-The work of thi department continue to make good proo-res , the numbcr of l'el1lo"al made during the past year beinD' 59, a against 710 in the previous year-an increase of 149 ca e. The horse , carriages, and wagons have again been used in connexion with the principal public duties undertaken by the Metropolitan orp', St. John Ambulance Brigade. A large numuer of recommended ca es have, as in past years, been renloved at reduced fees and gratuitously. Amongst the most ilnportant remoYfils carried out may be mentioned the following, viz.: London to Oswe try, Plymouth, Stone (neal' Stafford), Great Yannouth, Kirkheaton (Huddersfield), Belfast, Torquay, and Tayport ; Halesworth (Suffolk) to vVeymouth; and Tintagel (Cornwall) to Bexhill-on-Sea, vVork in the Canadian Dorninion, in the Australian find other Colonies, and e pecially in I ew Zealand, where the GoYe1'llor, the Earl of Ranfurly, a Knight of .J u. tice in the Order, is indefatigable in visiting Centres and opening Branches, continues to flourish, although a serious loss has b en ustained H,t Christchurch by the lalnented death of Dr. W. E. Hacon, Honorary Associate of the Order. In 'outh Africa, at the fifth annual general Ineeting of the Association of Mine Managers, in the Chamber of Mines , Johannesburg', the resident, Mr. J. H. Johns, made the following very practical remarks, whi h are worthy . of attention from not a few mine managers nearer home:"I am glau to be able to state that greater interest than formerly is being " taken bythewhite employes on our mines in lectures given bythele.ct~IJI; " of the St. John Ambulance Association on c First Aid to the IDJuI.e . " It is a matter of great importance that every white man on .our mJD~S " should be able to give first aid to the injured, more especIally a~!u " the mines, every miner bas a number of natives in his charge, an IS, " in a great measure, held responsible for their safety by the Govern·

17 "ment. A very elementary knowledge of how to render first aid is "often sl:fficient to ~ave a man's life, especially if he be inj ured in a c, deep mine some dIstance frum the shaft, or is in a position from "which he cannot be quickly extricated. Every member of the asso"ciation should consider it a duty he owes to those in his employ to "foster the growing interest in this subject." ~Ir. Johns' remarks

are emphasised by the following paragraph in the Johan ne uw/or; Stmnlarcl of July th:"A serious accitlent, which fortunately up to the time of writinO' has "been un~ttend~cl witrr loss of life, took place at No. 1 Shalt, De "Beers Mine, tillS afternoon (June 7th). As a caO'e containinO' twenty "mtives was descending the shaft, the engine-drivoer owinO' toO some at " present unexplain ed cause, lost control of it, and it' fell t~':> the bottom " with tremendous force, the impact severely injurinO' all the occupants " of the cage. First aid to the wounded was immecUately rendered by "men belonging to the , t. John Ambulance Association and as :: rapidly as possible t~l~ natives were conveyed to the surf~ce, where many medlcal practttlOn 1'S were waiting to attend them. Several "had to have limbs amputated."

Many similar ca e.. are recor 1 1 in the local reports, both of the Association n,nc1 Brio'n,de, in the Appen Ii e ; and on several occasions Intely the Royal Humane 'ociety has granted handsome testimonials to certificn.t d I npils f the t.

20 incidents such as the permission recently granted by the Prison Commissioners for Warders to wear the Association's badge, or to the questions asked by insurance offices, with a view to the liability caused by the 'Vorlunen's Compensation Act, as to the provision at the works for rendering such aid. Such a list nlight be alnlost incle£nitely extended, but enough has been detailed to prove the reality, not less than the utility, of the Ambulance Department's work, one which aims not at going beyond its legitimate limit, but has for its only object the relief of human suffering, pending the aid of professional skill. But the success of the St. John Ambulance Association, great as it has been, and greater still as it i hoped it will be, would have been as no thing but for the cheerful and willing co-operation of hundreds? or rather of thousands, of ready colleagues, medical and lay, who have spared no labour, often at pecuniary sacrifice, to advance the interests of a movement actuated by such true philanthropy, and to all of these, ancl especially to the members of the medical profession, the best and deepest gratitude of the old Hospitaller Order will be ever due.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Aldershot Centre has again done a very satisfactory year's work. The financial position is strong, there being a balance in hand of oyer £33; it is hoped that the Centre may shortly be in a positiou to purchase a horsc aml.mlance, the need for which is constantly felt, now that the hospital is taking in patients almost daily. It is also well known to the Committee that a horse ambulance would be not infrequently used for conveyance of patients in easy circumstances, and who woulll willingly pay for the use of it. The County Council grant for the year amounts to £9 lIs., and in addition there is a special grant of £1 lOs. , for instruction of police constables in first aid. The Committee wish to express their sense of the great loss the Centre has sustained through the death of two of their members-Mr. Hickley, who has been a subscriber and supporter from the very commencement; and the Rev. Ellis Hewett, who worked for the Centre as he did for everything el e that seemed to him for the benefit of the town .

74 alluded to, not detailed, in the local reports; but such occurrences in public places are fully particularized. An Annual Meeting is held in the Town Hall [or the Jistribution of certificates and medallions by the President. His worship the Mayor and the Mayoress of the Borough are generally present on this mo t intercsting occasion. The ceremony of presentation is followed by a demon tration of ambulance excrcises, comprising a group of burnt or scalded workmen, bringing into play the excellent system of triangular bandaging. Also a group representing a railway accident, when splints, tOlU'I'iquets, bandages, stretchers, poles, mg hammocks, and band lifting are fully illustrated. Examples of stretcher drill are also gone through. A numher of females also exhibit pre5entable portions of the nursing class exercises, such as bed-making, changing sheets over and under belpless patients, also waterproof draw sheets; lifting from one bed to another by hand and poles; application of bed cage, bed re ts, &c. The important proccss of artificial respiration (little understood by the public at large) in cases of suffocation, are also illustrated on a large number of patients apparently drowned. The exhibition is lllways received with frequent loud applausc, and is calculated to keep the object and advantages of the Association well Lefore the public. A Ladies' (detached) Class, instructed by Dr. .Allan Rutherford, has lately concluded the examination. A Works' (detached) Class, undcr the instrudioll of Dr. D. Anderson, for the large Ship: Building Company, Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim, have recently opened the course of St. J olm lectures.

UAL REPORT.

DURING the year 24 cIa es ha,e been held, 617 member of whIch succe sfnlly passed their examinations; in addition to the e, 67 received mf'dallion . The numbers are much larger than have b 'en previously recorded since the Centre \Va founded in 1887. The progress and pre, ent position, a well as the u efnl work ierfor~ed under the auspices of thi Centre may be considered very en couragillg. . n a city like Bradford where a large proportion of the inhabitants con i t of labollr~ng classes, subJect to the ri ks of accidents, the establishment of the Cen tre h8 eeu appreciated.

84 The Committee ha pleasure in stating that 180 mem bel's of the City Police Force have received certificate; H2 of which hold second grade certificates. and 42 of these were examined a third time and earned the Medallion of the Association, which were presen ted by the City , \ atch Committee, at the hands of Councillor J. E. Moorhouse. The in truetion the police have received has greatly increased their usefulness, and in many in tauees prevented unnecessary suffering. The following is a ynopsis of the cases in ,,,hieh they have rendered first aid during the year: - Wounds 14, fracture 12, bleeding 8, poisoning 2, dislocation 1, burn 1, banging 1, cut throat 1, making a total of 40, and 1~0 since January, 1 96. One case calls for special notice. On 5th February, acting Sergeant Dempsey and P. C. Edwarrls were informed that Kate Belsbaw bad been hit on the head with a coal rake, and that blood ,,-as streaming profusely from the "·Olllld. Thc constables rendered fir t aid, and were informed hy Dr. mith that if it had not been for the aid rendered by the police officers the woman would have hIed to death. The Committee (lesil'e to place on reco1'd their highe t appreciation fo~' the devotion and un tiring zeal .. howl1 by Mr. C. J. Paul (late Chief Con. table) in the work generally, and to express regret at losing his valuable ervices. Xursiug lectures h!we been commenced in cOllnection with the Bratlford chool 130ard. Although these lectures are not officially cOllnected with the Centre, the Committee note their formation with satisfaction. A commend· able feature of the year's ,york is that illstruccioll ill first aiel aUll nursing appear in the chool Board syllabus in connectioll with the Evening Contiuuation , cheme for 189 -9 . By this means the principles of first aid have been taught to a number of persons who otllerwise would have remained in ignorance of them. Three hundred and . eventy-two student:; satisfied the examiners, and twenty-four succeedeu in passing the first re-examination in March 1 9 . The Committee note with satisfaction the formation of a second class for the G. P. Office employees. By the l,ermissioll of the Employees Committee of the Joint Hospital Fund, the 4th annual Competition for the challenge shield amI medals was held at the garden party on Satnruay, July 16th; the Judges were Dr. Sutherland (Olecklleaton), and Dr. J os. lIarrison (BmdfoI'll), the latter officiateu for Dr. J. Crossley Wright, Halifax, who was unavoidably absent. A sCluad of -1 stuuents from Lorne treet Boaru Evening Continuation Class was awarded first prize, and the Branford Cor]Js second. At an open ambulance competition held at Halifax 011 October 29th, the Bradford City Police and the Bradford Division (A Division) were awarded first and second ]Jrize~ . The services of Dr. Ralph Beresford, Dr. James Kerr anu Dr. B. P. Viret have been recognized by their election as lIon. Life Iembers of the t. John Am lJUlance Association. The Committee h ave to express their heart y thanks to the Deputy-Mayor, (Coun· cillor T . Speight, J.P .) n'Iedical Instructors, members of the 10 squads who entered the competition, t he representatives of the local press for bringing uefoJ'e the public details of work done by our members, and all wh o h ave gratuitously helped in this good and noble work.

ANI UAL REPORT. BETWEEN October 1897 and October 189 , 21 first aid classes were heM, viz: 12 foJ' men and 9 for women. On examinatiou of these classes, III men and 89 women received certificates. Five nursing clas es were held and 36 women were awardell certificates; eight boys and ten girl obtai.ned certificates for the junior course; 35 men and 3 women passed the re-examination in 1ir t aid, and 60 men and 9 women pas ed their final examination for medallions. In all about 550 persons attended the classes, and to tllis number must he added 690 persons who attended the Evening Continuo ation Classes of the Bristol chool Board. Only a very small percentage of the School Board pupils presented themselves for examination, 32 males and 29 females being successful. It is hoped that th e arrallgements for the coming session will permit of a very much larger entry from the School Board. The President of the Centre, His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, distribnted the certificates and medallions at a largely attended meeting held at the Y.M. C.A. Hall, on June Utb, 1898. The increased attendance at the classes held hy the T ecbnical Education Com· mittee, the tiystematic training by the Oity Police, and th e adoption of the St. John Ambulance course by the School Board Evening Continuation Classes, bear witness to the revival of interest in ambulance work during the past session. Another new feature of 1897-98 was the stretcher competition helJ at the Zoological Gardens, on Saturday, July 2nd. For this Oompetition a Silver Challenge Cup has been presented to the Centre by Ml'. O. Beavis, and silver and Bl'on~e Medallions were offered to the members of the first and second teams. Mr. Hall S squad, of the N etham Chemical ,Vorks, took the first prize, whilst the second was awarded to the B squad of the Bristol Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade.

The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, His ,VOl' hip the Mayor of Bristol, and the Commi siOller and Deputy Commissioners of the , Vestel'll District, were present at the Oompetition. Fir t aiel has been rellllered on many occasions by pupils of the Bristol Centre during the past year. nil'. J 0 eph George Bennett has treated some two dozen emergencie in Bedminster during the lao t two sessions, and certificates from medical men te tify to the "alne of his attentions. Fir~t aiel has also been rendered on five occasions by members of the Uri tol Fire Brigade whilst on duty. In recognition of their senice.' to the Association the late Clerk and. Treasurer (Major Clayton and Mr. H. C. Barf'tow) havc I'e:pcctively been appointeel H onorary Associates of the Onler of t. John of Jern ale111 ill EnglalHl and presented with the special Yellul1l Vote of Thanks from the Chapter of the Ol'ller.

ANNUAL REPOHT , DURING the past year there seems to have beeu a falling off in the intere t taken in ambulance \\'ork, as regard the enrolment of new pupil, and the maintellance of the Corp ; this result has been foreshadowed in previou reports. It is a matter for regret that the well-intentioned efforts of the chool Board hould have had an unfortunate effect upon the efficiency of so important a body as the local ambulance Corps . Four classes have been held during the year: a nursing cIa 's, taken by Dr. \\Tarrack; women'. first aid, in tructecl by Dr. Proudlove, who also tnok a men's class; and a first aid class at Holme, under Dr. Mackie. There has been no reo examination. I

AN UAL REPORT. THIS Centre was formally registered 011 March 30th, 1898, since which date three classes for servants of the Cambrian Railways have completed a course of instruction, es viz., at Oswestry, W elshpool and MacllYll11eth, and it is hoped that othel'clus will be formed during the ensuing winter. Several members of the Oompany's Swff have also undergone instruction ill classes at Ellesmere, Brecon, Aberdovey, Dolgelley and Barmouth, not formed exclusively for Company's servants. In these cases the Company have defrayed entrance fees and other expenses. The Chairman of the Company, Mr. J. F. Buckley, who is President of the Oentie, and the other Directors, and }'1.r. C. 8. Denniss, the General Manager, have taken great interest in t"!:e work, and the latter presiues (Iirectly over the Oswestry Class. Members of the Classes have on varioos occasions been called upon for amu~laJlc~ help, but there have, fortunately, been no serious accidents since the formatlOu 0 the Centre. d A team from Oswestry entered for tIle Railway Challenge Shield for tho 'fsecoJ~In time, and once more defeated the Rhymney Team, but fn,iled to secure a pOSllOU the first five teams. They, however, express their intention to try again.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE usual course of lectures for men, in first aid, was givnn during the winter by Drs. S. G. and H . Sloman, when the attendance of new members was rather a small one. At the examination, held in Febrnary, by urgeon Lieut. -Col. H. Grier, A.M.S., FarnbQrough, 12 presented themselves, and all passed, viz., 5 for their first, 3 for re-examination, and 4 their final for the medallion. This now brings the total of men who have attended a complete course of lectures to 193; 147 having gained certificates and 73 having obtained medallions since the formation of the 'Centre; or a total, including ladies, of 220 certificates and 82 medallions. The members still continue to render good assistance, both in cases of aociuent and in the removal of invalids. The ambulance van is constantly in use, having been out 19 times dl~ring the year, covering a distance of 167 miles; 46 cases having been reported during the ycar.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Committee in reviewing the work of this Centre for the past year are glad to be ~h.le to note that their efI'orts to impart instruction in rendering fir t aid to the lllJ.ured have met with considerable success, the number that have joined classes bemg almost the 6'1'eatest since the formation of the Centre. Two classes have been form~d, and 60 attended the full course of lectures, and a third is now being held in UUrslllg and hygiene. Certificates will be presented at the annual meeting to 45 Who were able to make full attendance and pass the examination in first aid, and to ~ ~thel's the luedallion of the Association, given to certificate holders who have been Wlce re-examined at intervals of 12 months , will be handed. The thanks of the Committee are due and respectfully offered to the Medical . ~cel's, all of whom d uring the year have given practical evidence of the ;terest they take and the kind help they are at all times willinO' to render the entre; also to the supporters for their pecuniary aid, the subscri;tion-list having

109

108 been fully maintained, and some increase made; whilst thc Town Council, through their Technical Education Committee, have not lost sight of this useful object for a portion of the funds at their disposal, ancl which has so materially lessened the dread of straitened means that was felt a few years since. Superintendent of the Faversham Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Mr. C. E. Clinch, has reported favourably on its connition. The Town Hall has been again graciously allowed for the purpose of the lectures by the Mayor, and also Messrs. Tassell's offices for the business meetings; for both the Committee are greatly obliged. CLASS. THE Secretary, Mr. C. W. Smith, reports that during the past year no lectures have been given, but re-examinations have been held, at which 16 certificated members obtained the medallion of the Association, and 3 the re-examination voucher, the other members either not being eligible, having recently joined, or having been re-examined elsewhere; and that, as regards the Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the monthly meetings of the members have been held regularly throughout the year for transaction of business and practice, under the direction of the Hon. Surgeon, and have been weH attended, Dr. Scatchard being invariably present and taking great interest in the work. In addition to these meetings on the first Monday in the months, thcre has also been stretcher drill on the third Mondays. In.d pril the annual examination was held. The Division now consists of 28 members, 5 of whom have joined during the past year. BOUGHTON DETACHED

UAL REPORT.

A YEAR ago, when the present ecretary was appointed, tbi Centre was without a single allnual subscriber, it pos e cd no tretcher, and was not only without funds, but was in debt to the lIead Ollice in London. At the instigation of the President, the Earl of Yarborough-who, with hi family, has doue 0 much for tho ch;1rities of this town and surrounding districtan attempt was made to infui:le uew life into the Centre, amI to render it a effective as possible in case of necd. It was at once seen that nothing could be done without funds, and as many people will give dOlllttions who will not give annual subscriptions, it was uecidecl to appeal for donations uuring the first year, a it ,vas thought by so doing a larger amonnt would be raised. Thu at the close of the year we have p~easure iu reporting that the deht due to the Head Office bas been honourably discharged, four street stretcher station have been e tablishecl, each provided with a military stretcher, waterproof sll et, and army rng, which appliances were prOvided with stretcher bearers, and were at the Grimsby Town -'tation of the Great Oentral Railway some eight minutes after the Barnetby railway accident was reported to tit is Cen tre. After consnltation with the Chairman of the Hospital Board (Ur. C. F . Carter), the Ohief Oonstable of the borough (Mr. H. Pickersgill), "nperilltendent tennett,

115

114 of the Oounty Police, and Superintendent W ebster, uf the Dock Police, the Secretary h as effected arrangements by which all will co-operate in assisting th e Oentre in preserving the stretchers to their proper usc. As the three officers mentioned eontrol amongst them more than 100 police, they will be able to render valuable assistance. At each station a hook is proviJed, which must be signed when the stretcher is applied for, and is again signed Oll its return. Placards are being printed describing the position of the stretcher stations, and arrangements have been made for t he e to be posted throughout the town, and copies sent to the foul' police stations and the three railway stations within the borough, also to each of the ambulance stations and the borough and dock fire stations. It is hoped that shortly arrangements will be made for training the borough and county police in first aid, and although the amonnt raiseu was not as much as was anticipated, yet a substantial amount has been reserved for main· tenance of the Oentre and appliances until permanent subscriptions can be secured. The thanks of the Oentre are tendered to all "whose names are mentioned as rendering aid, and also to Mr. J. Freuch Thompson and Dr. O. H. Milburn, Hon. Sees. of the Hull Oentre, the Hull and Grimsby Bill Posting 00., and Messrs. W. H. Jackson and 00., Grimsby, who have kiudly promised to make no charge for po~ting the notices, as well as to the subscribers and all who have in any way rondered assi& tance.

ANNUAL REPORT. DURING the year 16 classes have been held, 205 member of which successfuJly passed their examinations. Both the County and Borough Police continue to avail themselves of these classes, and every member " 'I\S entitled to a certificate on the date the last examination was held. Thc instruction the Pol icc have received has greatly increased their usefulness, and there are many well-authenti cated cases of great and unnecessary sufferings being :prevented by their intelligent aid. The Committee note with pleasure the large pcrcontage who l)l'esent themselves for examination, thus shewing that all ranks a:ppreciate tIle advice tendere<l to them by the General Secretary, viz. : That one way of shewing their ap:preciation of the doctors' unselfish and generous kindness in giving the lectures is to persistently present themselves for examination until they have earned the certificates aud medallion of the Society. d It is important to report that the Ravensthorpe Section has again comme~ced with a successful class, after some years of inertness. The horse ambulance provl~e , surgical two years ago has been in constant use for acciclents and for r emovlDg cases to the Leeds I nfirmary and other instiLutions. q'he thanks of the Committee are again tendered to the Medical Staff for their continued support and assistance.

Otasses.-Eighteen CIa es, 15 ill first aid and 3 in nursing, have been held during the patlt year ill Hull and neighbourhood, at which 330 pupils have been instructed, of whom 2 0 were examined and 269 ohtaiued Certificate. Lincoln County Oouncil.-The Lincoln onnty Council have again made grants to Covel' the rxpcllses of two clas es in connection with this Centre, which have been held at Barton. On the recommendation of the Committee, Mrs. R. C.

~UAL

Neecl jo?' IJm'se Ambttlance TVagon.-The occurrence of several severe accidents on the extreme outskirts of the city, notably that at the Works of Messr . Major & Co., Limited, in December, 1897, once more brings up very forcibly the urgent need which exists for a horse ambulance wacron, for the prompt and easy conveyauce of the injured, either to the I nfirmary o~ their homes. Hull is a long way behind other places in this respect, such cities and towns as Bnry, Heywood, Dewsbury, Leeds, Shoffield, Birmingham, Preston, Accrington l Brighouse, etc. , etc., all being well provided with ambulance wagons.

ANNUAL REPORT. ONLY four classes have been held this year, as most of the energy of the Cenhe has been expended on more fully working the I pswich Oorps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. A competition was held here, for the first time, for which 40 men entered. Those who attended the annual meeting saw some of the work being elone, and the prizes were distributed by 001. Sir Herbert Perrott, who also gave the certificates and medallions (93) gained during the year. Sir Herbert gave a very interesting address, and he was influentially supported on the platform. There have been many cases of first aid rendered, but no conspicuous case, except one of belladonna poisoning, in which Hon. Surgeon Eades telephoned for help from his men. The patient recovered, but only for a time. T here have been sevcral very satisfactory removals of patients, and the litters have been in frequent use.

Thcse cla8ses W re heW at 13instead , Brighstone, and Chale, and more cIa es could have been arranged in other viIla.ges if the grant werc largcr. The ambulance waggoll ha been in usc much more frequcntly-oll an avcrac'e <once a mont.h-and as it usefulne and cOllvenience is more kllO\\n and appreci. ated it is found that more applications nre being made from the l1ista.l1 t pn.rts of the Island , and great satis faction is always expres. ed with thc kindne's and care shewn by the members who are on duty. The be t thanks of thc Committec are duc and are \Yannly gi\'en to those doctors who so genel'ously continue to give their services gratuitously in this useful ',ork, and in this way the COlllmittee arc cllahlec1 to armnge for many more clas es than conlel othcrwise l'c clone. The locnl clas sccretaries arc also entitled to the thanks of the Committee, a much \\'ork fall on them, anti thcy give much time and energy in arranging the cIa es.

ANNUAL REPORT. SUCCESSFUL as the work of this Oentre has been from its inauguration, 18 years ago, it loses none of its vigour as time rolls on. The work of the past year has fully maintained the reputation that the Leicester Oentre has earned. A very large proportion of the classes-both men's and women's-have been held in the town. The Oommittee regrets that the Oounty Oouncil still withhold their grant from the village classes. Sufficient importallce cannot be placcd upon the necessity of ambulance teaching in remote places, where, perhaps, the services of a surgeon may not readily be secured.

During the year 21 classes have been held-ll men's" first aid," 7 women's" first aid," 2 womcn's "nursing," and one men's" nursing." Compared with last year, this shews an increase of 2 classes, with an aggregate of 336 passes, against 280 last year. This must be regarded as a satisractory session's work . . The re-examillations were mnch bctter attendeJ than in previous years. 121 men presentecl themselves, 118 of whom pa secl ; 25 women werc re-examined, 24 satisfying the examiners. I n comparison with last year this shows an increase of 34. pecialillelltion shoulll be malle of the high standard of efficiency shewn by the majority of those who werc re-cxaminell. This is ill a great measure due to the careful manner in which they had becn coached uy the Divisional Officers. The Leice tel' chool Board were, we helieve, the first in the country to take up ambnlance work in connection with their eveniug continuation cla ses. As an experiment they were eminently ucce ful, and fully ju tified the venture of the Boarel. Great interest wa mallife ted by the youth:, and the percentage of passes was quite up to the a "erage. lYe are gh1.l1 to learn that the 'chool Board have arrangeu for c:lasses to be helll during the forthcoming winter. The enthusiasm which met the first venture Uglll" well fot' the sncce s of the new clas ·es. Too llluch empha is cannot he placed on thc importance of railway employe being instructed in the principles of "fir t aid." It i with much plea nre we notice that a vcry succe ful cIa.. has hecn held in connection "ith the L. and X.W. Railway 00., and that <1, Diyi ion has been fOlmecl in connection with the Leice tel' Corp. The best thanks of the Oommittee hould be tend red to thc Ohief Oon. table '.\[1'. T. 'Y. Lumlcy) for the unvarying coudc'y and con ideration we receive at his hands. The majority of thc members of the Borough Police are certificated men, and are freqnently called upon to render as i tance in the case of treet accidents, alld some notable cases where" fir t ai(l" has been skilfully rendered have been reported. It would hardly be fail' to pass oyer the SCI vice rendered hy the Fire Brigade, under Superintendent Ely. As will be seen from the Tran port II perintendent's report, the memher, of whom 26 arc certificated men, have rellllercd the cause splendid service, the horse ambulance, which is stationed at the Fire tation, having been requisitioned no Ie's than 83 times. The annual Imblic meeting of the 'entre \\'a helll at the Temperance RaIl on Monday, 4th Octohcr, 1 97. The layor prcsided, anel was supported by ir John Rolleston, a number of ladic, and membcr::; of the medical prorcs ion. The Mayor, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the A ociation on the amount of uscful work they hall clone, and expre sed hi gratitude to the members of the Brigade for the service they had rendered on Yariol! occn ions. it' John Rolleston eulogised the work that was being done by the Society all over the COlliltry. For their great servicl's they were entitled to the thank of the \\'hole community, and he was glad to be there and to be allowcd to eX]lres::l appreciation of their efforts. Lady Rolleston presen ted the ccrtificate and medal to the winners of the Shield Oompetition. The seventh anllual competition ror the Ohallenge hiclcl took place at the. Old rrown nall on Tncsdn,y, September 27th. Dr. oates, of Londou officlated as judge. The Town Division and the Borough of Leice tel' Worki1lg ~[~n's Club and Institute Divi ion were the only team wh o entered ror thc competition. After a thorough test, Dr. Coates gave his dccision as follows: --First,

141

Town Division (shield and silver medals), 335 marks; second, Working Men's Club Division, 318 marks. The maximnm nnmber of marks was 360. The Town Division ha.ve the distinction of having won the Shield two years consecntively. The names of the winning team are :-Messrs. Stranks, Hibbert, Wilson, F. Smith, and Hatfield. Unfortunately, the efforts of the Committee at the" Saturday Collection" were not crowned with the same degree of success as on the previous occasion. A combi· nation of circumstances, which we hope to avoid in future, caused the receipts to fall £5 below last year. I n a meaSlUe to compensate for this, we are grateful to the members of the "Amateur Dramatic Society" for their kindness in handing over to us the sum of £4, a share of their cbarity performance at the Opera House. We cannot let the opportunity go by without again expressing our gratitude to the members of the medical profession for thc ready manner in which they are at all times willing to place their services at our disposa1. For many years Mr. Wykes has gratuitously audited the accounts of the Association . To him we wish to tender our best tJllanks for past and present services.

iSiTidl DURING the yea,r 10 classes have been formed- viz., 4 female and 5 male first aid, and 1 female nursing. The number presenting themselves for examination in first aid was 142, and 135 passed. The number of ladies presenting themselves for llUrsing examination was 21, and 20 passed. The snccess of thf' classes has been most marked, and the interest so far has shewn no signs of abating. It is to be regretted that more ladies have not joined the nursing class. The Committee of the Centre are pleased to find that severa] classes are being arranged for, and it is to be hoped that they may receive the support ihey so much deserve. The Medical Staff have been most indefatigaule in their continned efforts for the welfare of the work, their lectures being keenly appreciated by the students of the various classes. The police have attended 185 first aid cases during the year, and members of the Ambulance Corps 83 cases. The horse ambulance, which is under the control of the Chief Constable, and can be turned out in under 30 seconds by means of quick· bitching harness, has been called out 139 times, the street fire alarms being invariably used for the "call." The statement of receipts and expenditure is submitted berewith.

AI NUAL REPORT.

ISSUE

IT is gratifying to the Committee of the addlewol'th Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association to be aule to recoru a continuance of the success which has ever marked the work of the Association in thi district. T he Committee feel their great indebt~dne s to the medical gentlemen who have so kindly conducted the classes. Dr. Aspinwall has now removed to 1\1ar uen, but an excellent successor ha been found in Dr. Caine. The Committee regret having lost the el'Yices, through failing health, of ~Ir . B. Bent, .J. P . , of Dobcros , whose duties as President of the Centre have been so faithfully discharged. A practical manifestation of intere t in the work of the A sociation was witnessed on October 8th in the shape of a grand cycle parade, in which members of the Greenfield and Delph Cycle Cluus took a prominent part. Large crowus assemblell to watch the cycli ts pass by, and liberal contributions to the collecting-boxes were made. The result was a net profit of £37 11 . l~d., which llln has placed the finances of th'3 Association in a sOllnd position. Kumerou gifts in the shape of prizes and subscriptions have to be acknowledged. During the year two fir t aid competitions have been held. The Committee are pleased to know that the information gained at the respective Glasses has been of practical use in alleviating pain and suffering, and perhaps saving life. Only so recently as November 7th nil'. . Buckley, of Lee, ren(lere(l valuable first aitl in the case of a girl whose clothing had caught fire at ",Vater head, and Mr. Henry Schofield, the father, in a letter of thank', gives it as hi opinion that it was Mr. Buckley's prompt action v,hich saved his daughter's life.

have ambulance men and appliances at hand III order that First Aid may be promptly rendered. The ambulauce carriage and litters belonging to the Oentre continue to be largely used. The Oommittee regret that, owing to the limited funds at their disposal, they are not n.ble to add to the stock of conveyances, and they would respectfully suggest to the Oorporation Watch Oommittee the advisability of pruviding additional mealls for the transport of injured persons, including n. horse n.mhuhtuce carriage of a more modern type than the one now in use, and which was purchased by the Oentre 13 years ago. The Oommittee desire to express their best thanks to the Hon.

increased, so that this humane work may be still carried on successfully and increased. It is satisfactory to note that 67 members of the Borough and River Police force passed an examination this year in arubulfLnce work, and every member of the force is now qualified to render first aid, with the exception of a recruit squad, "ho are nolV being instructed . We learn that the police alone have treated over 90 cases during the year, rendering valuable first aid. The classes for seamen have been continued during the year, and a clas for Officers is now being conducted at the Marine School. Th e Volunteer Life Brigade continues its conlial co-operation, the Brigade House having been lent on several occasions for examinations. It is to be recorded with satisfaction th'tt Her :Majesty the Queen, on the recom. mendation of His Royal Hi~hness the Prince of Wale~, Grand Prior of the Order of t. John of J eru'lalem in England, and of the Chapter-General, has sanctioned the enrolment of Chas. J. utherland, :\Ln., a Hon. Associate of the Order, and of Jas. Page as Hon. Serving Brother of the Order, in recognition of their services in furthering the work of the Ambulance Department of the Order in this Centre and District. As in past years, no attempt has bC'en made to sclledule the many cases where invaluable help has been given and life saved by our students. The press gives a report of much of the work accompli heu, hut there are hundreus of accidents occurring eyery year in which suffering ha been relieved by first aid applied at the right time, but of which nothing i hearu out ide the circle immediately concerned. The goou work which is being tlone therefore encourages the Committee to continue their labours, and to hope for the continued support of all classes of the community.

The members of Dr. Collis's ladies' classes presented him with a clock, while II'. Arnold Thomson received from his class a smoker's cabinet in l'ecognitioL. of his services. Application was made to the Tec'l:nical Board for a grant towards defraying the expenses of cIa ses for working people. The application was favourably considered, and Dr. Darby has kindly unuertaken to begin a course of lectnres at the Lye to working women on 3nl ovember. The following cases of first aiu rendered to injured persons have been reported during the past year :-(1) On 4th May, J. T. ., of Lye, nstained a compound fracture of the left shoulder and a broken leg. Police ergeant Danks and other ambulance men applied the necessary splints and banuages before removing the injured man to thc hm;pital. Dr. Darby, of Lye, writes that" the attempt to render first aiel in this case was, in Illy opinion, very commendable." (2) On 2 th May, J. S., of Lye, had an epilcptic fit. Dr. Hardwicke certifies that P.C. George hlillicheap rendered efficient til"t aill in this ca e. (3) On 27th July, E. M., of Clent, broke her leg. P. C. Banks bandaged and applicLI splints. Dr. Lowe, of Clent, states" that P.C, Banks rendered first aiel to a case of fractured tibia in a most efficient manner."

The necessity and advantage of having a large storc of fir t aid and nursing appliances of every description at our head-quarters ,,'a. well demonstrated in the case of the terrible wreck of the lanchester Expre here on Friday, 2nd eptember; 1898. Within ten minutes of receiving the call by telephone from the Midland tation, which is a mile away, the hoI' e ambulance, with a load of ten stretchers, medical hampers, and havrc acs, a large llpply of roller and triangular bandages, water-bottles, splints, and other necessary stores, with doctors, Officers, nurses, amI men of the Brigade, were on the scene re cuing and attending to the injured passengers. Unfortunately, 7 persons died, 35 were more or Ie severely injured, while a ~ood number suffcred rather badly from shock, nece itatillg some of our doctors, ofTlcers, mon, and nursing sistcrs remaining on duty all night and the greater part of next day. It is very gratifying to report that the appeal made by tl!e Oommittee to a very generous puhlic for further support in order to carryon the work has resulted in an increased subscription of £70. The Midland Railway Oom11any kindly sont £20 in aeknowledgment of serviccs rendered at tho accident above refcrrecl to.

AMBULANCE work has made but little progress in this Oentre during the past year. One Nmsing class for women, 17 of whom llave completed the course, hut only 6 took the examination, and were successful. A First Aid class was formed among the Am bulance Oorps of the Victoria Rilles of whom 14 passed th e examination. Renewed exertion will be made this year with a view of introducing the work among the police and fire forces, as well as the Ambulance Oorps of the several Militia regiments.

ANNUAL REPORT. Executive Oommittee of the N. S. W. OentTe of the St. John Ambulance Association are plcased to bc able to report the continued growth of ambulance work throughout the colony. Very important branches of the Association have been formed at such large works as the Australian Gas Light 00., thc Fresh Food and I ce 00., and Bakewell Bros.' Brick and Pottery 'Vorks. Large classes have oeen instructed and examined at the above-named new branches ,nth satisfactory results, and others are now III formation. The employees of th e Oolonial Sugar Oo.'s Works, Broadwater, recently formed a large class, resulting satisfa,ctorily. ~lore classes are to follow, and a "Practice Club" has heen formed . The Colonial ugar Co. 's employees, Pyrmont, the ydney Meat Preserving 00. 's employees, Au]ml'1l, and Mort's Dock employees, Balmain, continue to do excellent work, and daily show the practical utility of First AiLl in truction, by treating accidents not only in their own work hop, but also in adjacent localities, anrl frequently u. e their wh eeled litters to convey the injured outside their own works to the h081lital. Thanks are due to the managers of the c works for their generous co·operation. The Directors of the Australian Gas Light 00. are rendering valuable assistance to the !lml,ulance clas es. Th ey have just built a large ambulance room, fitted with First Aid appliances, includiug wh eeled litter of latest pattern and stretcher. The Fre h FoocllllHl Ice 00. 's Oorps can ttl 0 boa r; of an excellent room, lit by electric light, and set apart excln ively for ambulance instruction and practice. 'Th eyal 0 ha,eamplc appliances for rendering Fir t Aid, including a wheeled litter. A number of cases Itaye been succcsfl111y treated by members dming the year. FoUl' goo(l ela BPS were iUl:itructeu and examined at Brokeu IIill during the year, and a large and succe srul demonstration was given by the membe rs on the occasion of the presentation of certi1icate . The ecretclrY plI'. G. K. Beaumont), of the Central1lline, rcports that n cw cla~ses are now being fonn ell . One of the above-named classes cOllbisteu of miners only, whosc hours of duty made it dillicult for them to attend the consecutive lectures. A Practice Olub has been form ed by the certificatecl l11e111 bel'S, and First Aid ha been r endered in anum bel' of cases during the year. A largely-attended meeting Was held at Newcastle on 13th Augu t for the purpose of presenting a number of certificatcs, and a mo t intere tiug tlemon tration was given by the newly-certificated m em bel'S, 'who were ahly assisted by the miners and fire brigade classes. pecial credit is due -!;o Dr. Will iam Clarke, Mr. A. E. Ash, Mr. G. R. 'hort, and Mr. O. O. Saunders for the earnest mann er in which they have worked to bring about the formt1tion of this branch in so important a district. Lieut. -001. Rallclauu has for many years taken t1 keen illtere t in ambulance work, and the branch is fortunate in securing a continuance of this interest in his acceptancc of thc position of Pre itlent of the branch . 1'he Volunteer Medical Starf U01'pS Rcscrve, consisting of certificated members of the St. .Tohn Ambulance Association, has now a nominal roll of,n . A sc('tion is in course of formation at N ewcastle. The Oorps is clot hed in khaki drill uniform. Twenty-five of the Rescr ve pamd d for inspection by thc principal medical officer (Surgeon-Col.

208 carried out in a highly creditable manner," and were complimentell by the inspecting officer for their smart appcarance on parade, and for the efficiency shown in the "Various drill movements. A union has been formed consi ting of certificated ambulance pupil, the object being to hold occasional reunions for the purpose of instruction and flUther au van cement in the practical rendering of Fir t Aid, also to arrange for annual competitions. On January 19th a large gathering of residents of the Glebe was held in the local Town Hall, ,,,hen demonstrations were given by the brauch . The Mayor (Alderman Oarey) presided, and, after several addresses, Mr. Hogue, III. L.A., on behalf of the branch, formally handed o"Ver an Ashford litter to the Mayor. Votes of thanks were passed to Mrs. A. N. J onsen and Mrs. Boyd, to whom were due the credit of raising the subscriptions to purchase this litter. The litter is placed at the Rami Timber 00. 's works, Blackwattle, where there are a number of certificated members {including the manager), who are ever ready to render aid. Through the kindness of the Hon. J. . Brunker, stretchers have been forwarlled to the nIillmi miners, East Maitland Fire Brigade, and other classes. Viscountess Hampden has again been active in forwarding the work. A large class was formed by her at Government House in July. The examination "'as conducted by Surgeon-Ool. Williams on 9th August, when hc reported a satisfactory result. Viscountess Harnpden qualified for the medallion of the Association. Police Olasses (Metropolitan). -Three First Aiel cl::Lsses have been instrllcted this year; 51 memuers attended full course of lectures, and 34 gained certificates. The total number instructed since formation of Oentre now amounts to 250, of ",hom 186 hold certificates, and 2 have qualified for the medallion by pas'ing the third examination. Fifteen ,,,ell-attended public meetings have been held in the country and sublll'bs, and a large meeting was beld at the Y. LO.A. HalL Sydney, on April 27th. His Excellency Lord Hampden presided, and Viscountess Hampden pre~euted their badges, as Honorary Associates of the Order of t. John of J erusalcru, to :Majors T. S. Parrott anll Alfred Broughton, besides some medallions, and a number of certificates, including about 30 to the police.

Members of our large Oorps have again assisted the Friendly ocieties andllospital Oollection, and are always ready to turn out in the cause of humanity. During the year the Oommittee, with a number of other gentlemen, waited on the Premier to urge the desirability of having the work of the Association recognised by the Government_ It was pointed out that the lIlachinery of the A.ssociation foJ' extending ambulance work was very complete, and, if only on economic grounds, it "\Vould be a distinct gain for the Government to utilise it. A deputation of the Oommittee also waited on his W orshi p the Mayor to ask for aid frol11 the CouDcil. It was suggested that the Oonncil might give to the Association the usc of rooms in the new Market Buildings for an office and transport station. There have been held during the year 25 men's First Aid classes, 17 women's, and 3 musing classes. Olasses are now under instruction with, approximately, 350 members. Ashford litters or stretchers are l)laced, and may be obtained gratuitously to convey the inj ured eith er to their homes or the hospital, at Imperial Arcade, P etersham Town Hall, Oolonial Sugar 00.

ANNUAL REPORT. TIlE review of the twelve months now closed, though by no means inspiring, yet shows some improvement upon the previous year's record. During the term ending 31st .March last there have been heltl four First Aid classes for men antl students, and three First Aid classes for women, and also one Nnrsingclass for wonten. Th e numhers who attended a full course were 204, of whom 165 passed the examiner, being iu each case an advance of 40 on last year. During the same period members from thirteen former classes were re-examined, and 56 passed. 'V; ay College has taken a leading place in preparing youths for future usefulness in clealing with accidents. Dr. Torr sent up 71 students for examination and all pa sed. It is to be hoped that other Coll~ges will follow this example. The fact that 1,350 pupils have passed their examinations and received certificate indicates that the ability to render First Aid is possessed by many lJersons now scattered tlLroughont this and the adjoining provinces. -While most people will admit the importance of po ses ing a knowledge of how to ueal with accitlent and render prompt aid in . uch case, it seems difficult to arou c any great intere t in ambulallce work. Ally gentleman possessing an acquaintcmce with the work of the As ociation, and having lei nre and fair ability for speaking, coultl render great R.ssistance to tile comnnmity hy visiting Literary Societies, Factories, Oluh, and similar gatherings, in CGnnection with which ambulance classes might be formed. '1'he customary audited annual financial statement is append tl.

The Council aga.in desire to impre s on the Minister of Erlucation, the principals of schoo!', association ,and other institution, the importance of forllling classes, and hUNing them taught what to do ill case of accident and sudden illncs until the aid of a medical lllan call lJe obtained. The ability to render First Aid to the injured is uudoubtc(lly one of thc most impol'tn,nt hranches of education. The value of the instruction imparlecl continues to lJe recognised by Public anel Private .Schoo!<;, :JIecIHlnic-;' IIl ,titute.·, chool' of :JIiuc', Technical Oolleges, Australian KatiYcs' A 'sociatioll,', Young ~len's aud 'Yomen' Christiall .\.s oeiatiollS, the OOlllmercial Tra\'eller" ,\ S oeiatioll, ,Yorking Men's Oluhs and Colleges, Girls" Friendly oeietirs, Raihmy Erllploye ', and Fire Brigade., 'uch Association:; affording special facilities for organising amI holding ela '.'os.

220 ANNUAL REPORT.

I N presenting the Sixth Annual Report of the Auckland Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, your Committce have much pleasure in informing the memhers that the la t was a very successful season . The central male cla s to "'hom Dr. Ginllor lectured, consi tcd of 23 members, of whom 12 passed in FiJ..st Aid, two passell their lirst re-exalliination, and one the final examination, as did olle other pupil who pas ed in First Aid two years ago. The central female class who also bad the benefit of Dr. Gir(ller's ability and experience as a lecturer, "as attended by 21 pupils, of whom 17 passed in First Aiel. The central nursing class received the lectures from Dr. Parkes. There were 20 pupils, of whom H passed the examination. TI\'o of those who l)asseci in nursing last year, presented themselves sucee, sfnlly for their final re-exan,inatioll, and are now entitled to the medallion of the Assor.iation. Aaain this season there "Tas an excellent class formed in connection with the rail· o way department. In compliance with the eal'ne~t request of the Illembers, Dr, Dawson "'as the lecturer. The ehss "'as attelluctl hy ~5 pupils, of WhOUl ouly 14 presented themselves for examination. Of those 7 passed in First Aiel, and 4 passed their first re·examination. In explana:ioll of the SllJa 11 number ,,110 IYent up for examination, it shoulcl he mentione{l that the railway oflicials are 1I0t always the governors of their own mo\'emen ts, ~o that it is oftell difficult and sometillles impos. sible for them to attelld the classes \I'it11 the regularity they would (ll'sil'e. The Committee were extremely sorry to heal' of the clea.th after a short ilhll'sS of \Y. H, Bishop, ,,-ho was the honorary secretary of the mil way class last year. During the past season ,ye ha\"e gone further afield than hitherto, as clusses have been held at New Plymouth under the allspices of thi'3 C~ntre. The lJIale class to \"hom Dr. Ernest ·Walker lectured, was attelldecl Ily 31 pupils, of whom ~O I,assed in First Aid, and one passed his first re-examination. Among the pn pils \Yere the cap· tain and a number of the members of the Ne\\' Plymouth l~ire Bdgadc. The Committee highly com melld tbe firemen ('or theil' wi dom, a11<1 wOlll(1 strongly advise members of the Aucklancl City and Suhurhan Fire Brigades to follow this gooll example. The ~ew Plymouth female clas to whom Dr. 1IIcLeland l ectured, consisted of no less than 50 members, of whom 27 passed in First .Aid. Your Comlllittee would take this opport:lllity of pointing ont the ilHLdvisahility of holding 'uclt In.rgn class:s, as it is. impossible for the lecturer to im part llractica.l i Ilstmction to so mally pupIls at once. In this case twplve lecture.; were given instead of five, 'lltailing a great cl~al of extra work on the lecturer, and tho. Committee feel assl1l'ed that ha.d the pupIls been formed into two classes, a larger percentage of passes woulLI IHLVe rcsulted. At nei.ther Hamilton nor Cambri,lge havc classes heen beld during the past year, but at the former town thret' memuers of the Nursing Class, who attended the previous year but were unalJle to be present Itt the examination, passeri in JIlusing. , At "\Vhanaasea a female class to whom Dr. Sweete lecturcd, consisted of 10 o , A'd members of whom one passed her final exalllination, alld seven passe(l in First I, At Te 'Aroba, a female class was formed an,l attended by 25 pupils, Dr, Gilbert Smith being the lecturer. The examination has not yet taken place. Your Committpe beg once more to tender the hearty thanks o[ the Centre to the members of the honorary medical staff [or thdr value(i services as lectl1rer~, also ~o Drs. Dawson, Killg, Roberton, Walker, lIall, Hutchinson, ancl Leatl1alll, for the~l: valuable services as examiners. While than king the hOllorary medical staIr for then

221 gooclness in givin~ s~ much time and attention gratuitously to carryon the exeellent work of the As oClatlOll, the Oommittee are glad to be ahle to announce that the ~p,~d Office il~ London has aeknowleclged the past sen-iccs of Drs. Dawson, Girdler, l\l1lgltt, Le~Vls, Purchas, Roberton, Roberts, and harman, by electing them HOllorary LIfe Members of the 't. John Ambulance As ocifLtion. The Committee ~vollld like to place on record their satisfaction that tbe past seRson ha re ultecl III a COil '1(leraule ad(lition to tlle 11l1m bel'S of OUl' very excellent honorary medical staIr. The Committee arc glad Lo 1)(' a1Jle to in forlll the mem bel'S that this Centre is no\y out o.f c1~'l~t: a faet \I'hieh relieves thelll of a good deal of anxiety.

I think you desire reports of any ervice rendered in ambulance work I have to report that Mr. Phillips of umner and myself took charge of 1\11'. Whittuker Hanop at the seriou tram accident at U111ner. After applying a tourniquet to the femoral artery, we removed him to a b'etcher, then into a tram carriage, and by ropes suspended him from the roof, 0 that "'itlt care shaking was avoided. Great praise is due to 1\11'. Ekins, the tram guard, for prompt action and arranging to scud at onc to the ho pital. Mr. , Yood, the tram manager, al 0 came to meet n and completed all arrallgement 0 expeditiou ly that from the time of the accident until we ,yere at the hospital gate, was only 35 minute, 25 of which were occupied in trayelling (di tance about mile'!). 111'. Harrol' in getting ofI' the tram while in motion had been dragged under and his right leg was nm over. It was am)!utated at once at tllC hospital, and he is progressing "cry favourably.

The services rend~red to the Brigade by my praclecessor are so well known and so thoroughly appreciated, not only by the Officers and members of the Brigade who h:1(l the honour and pleasure of serving under him, but by your Lordship and the members of the Oentral Execntive Committee, that it i unnecessary for me to attempt to enumerate them, but I should fail in my duty to the Brigade were I to omit to place on record the uniyersal e teem in which he was held by all rank, and the erreat r Hrret that was fel t hy all when he relinquished the commallu. The fourth onference of the lllem b 1'S of the Brigade was held at Blackpool, on the 17th J LlIle, 1 9. -' ixty-two m mber were present, as compared. with in 1 95, DO in 1 DG and 75 in 1 ~97. The Mayor of Blackpool, 1\11'. l\1atber, J.P., was (Fooel enough to place the Town Hall at the disposal of the Conference, and, after he had opened the proceedings by welcoming the memb rs to the town, the chair mlS taken by DeputyCommis. ioner :JIajor C. J. Trimble, Y.D. Fifteen resolutions and amendments were proposed and discus. ed . neady all of "which related to matters which had aIr ady been decided at heau-quarters. The onerous duties of Honorary 8ecretary to the onference omm~ttee were undertaken ano. a~ly performed by npt. ecrctary 'V. H. \VlDny (No.1 Distlict), and to him and to the members of the Committee much of the success of the Conference is due. A Oamp of Instruction was held from the:2 th lay to the 4:th June, at Easton N eston Park, Towcester, by kind permissi n of ir Thomas Hesketh, Bart. Brigade- :-1 urgeon Lieut.-Col. Elli ton, V.D. DeputyCommissioner (N o. 3 District), was in command. The weather throughout the meetinO' was wet , but the members nnder canvas <:) contrived to put in some useful drill and exercises. 11 mbers ~rom the followina' Corps and Divisions attended the camp :-~1etropohtan, Kettering, b orthamptoll, vVellingborough, and orth Staffordshire Corps; Winsford Division, &c.

The Ambulance Station at the Royal Agricultural Show, which was held at Four Oaks, Birmingham, from the 17th to the 25th June was in charge of the Brigade Ohief Supt., wholwas assisted by Supt. Go~dwin and four other mem bers of the Metropolitan Oorps, and by four members of the Handsworth and Smethwick Oorps. Mrs. Brasier and Mrs. Gent, the Lady Supt. and Inspector of Stores of the St. John's Gate Nursin a Division, were also present and rendered valuable assistance, especiall~ in the case of a member of the Bodega Oompany's staff, who was take~ seriously ill during the meeting. The efforts of these ladies 'were gratefully acknowledged by the Directors of the Oompany, who forwarded a donation to the funds of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The station was visited by H.R.H. the Grand Prior, who expressed his are at satisfaction with the complete character of all details. Drs. M~rtin, Young, and Bennett, the ~edical offic~rs on duty, were subsequently presented to H.R.H. Dunng the meetlllg 48 cases were treated. This was the first time that an ambulance wago n has been sent down from head-quarters, and it proved to be a valuable accessory, as the hospital was nine miles distant from the show ground. The Ambulance Station at the Yorkshire Agricultural Society's meeting, which was held at Leeds, from the 20th to the 22nd July, was also in charge of the Brigade Ohief Supt., who was assisted by Supt. Goodwin and Lady Supt. Mrs. Brasier (of the Metropolitan Oorps), Mrs. Rowley (of Leeds), and three members of the Armley and ,Vortley Division. Two constables holding first aid certificates were placed on duty at the station through the kindness of Oaptain ~Vebb, the Ohief Oonstable. The preliminary arrangements were carned out by the Secretary of th e Y.A. ociety, who was assisted by Mr. \Valter Rowley, Hon. Sec. of the Leeds Oentre of the St. John Ambulance A?sociatioll. The medical arrangements were made by Dr. E. A. Atklllson, on whom they reflected the greatest credit· and medical duty during the week was undertaken by Drs. B~'own, McGregor, Mackenzie, Trevelyan, Waite, and -vy oodcock. The station was. visit~d by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, who expressed his great satisfactIOn With the arrangements. Thirty cases, of a more or less serious character, were treated. At a Oamp of Instruction in connection with the ational Fire Brigades Union, which was held in Blenheim Park from the 20th to .the 24th Aug~st, an ambulance station was fo;med by Brigade Ohlef Supt. BraSIer, who is also Ohief Supt. of the Ambulance Departme~t of the Union. A temporary hospital was also arranged in a house kmdly lent for the purpose, where the Nursing Officers and four uther members of the St. John's Gate ursina Division volunteered their services. Hon. Surgeon Becker (of Oolch~ster) was in llledical charge, and Su:pt. of Stores Trimmer (of the Metropolitan Oorps) act~d as camp supermtendent of stores. During the five days seventY-SIX cases were treated, two of the more serious ones being nursed in the temporary hospital. The final competitions for the "Dewar" Shield and "Symons Eccles" Oup were held at the Portman Rooms Baker Street W. on 12th May, it having been arranged that the winn'ing team shOl.;ld t~ke the Shield,

and the next.i~ order of merit sho~11d ~e ~warded the Oup. Preliminary competitIOns· were arranged In DIstrIcts 1" 3 and 4. , in order to se1ect repres~ntatlve teams for the final, and resulted in the selection of the follOWIng :-East H~m .(N 0 .. 1 District), Wellingborough (No.3) P:e~t?n (No.4); No.5 DIstrIct dId not compete, and Westgate-on-Sea DIVISIOn (No.2) secured a bye. At th~ final competition, Oaptain Rawnsley., R.A.M.C., and Surgeun-Oaptalll Harper, V.M.S.O., kindly acted a~ Judges, and placed the teams in the following order of merit: - Wellmgborough, East Ham, Preston, "Westgate-on-Sea. In their Report they state that the work of all the teams was excellent but make. sper,ial mention of the \Vellin 0aborouah and East Ham me~ as 0 showmg great perfect.ion in all their work, .and proving that they had been mo~~ carefully drIll en and thoroughly lllstructed in all branch of first ald. . Several rerr:arkable instances of the value of the Brigade organization lD cases of aCCIdents on a large scale have been r eported during the past year, but the most conspicuous is the rail way accident which occurred at ,V ~ll in gbo rough in 'ptem ber, and I would particularly invite attentIOn to the full report of the a.dmirable work clone by the vYellingborough Oorps on that occasion, which will be founel attached to the Report of the Deputy-Oommi sion er of o. 3 District. O\~ing to my still having charge of o. 1 District, pending the appomtment of a Deputy- ommi sioner, I have only been able to make tile follow ing inspections of provincial Oorpa and Divisions. Being ~n the nei~hbourhood of Bury on the 1 6th July, I took the opportUl:lty of beIng present at the inspection of the onth-East Lancaslllre 'ounty Oorps by Deputy-Oommissioner Trimble, a detailed account of which is appende(l to his Iteport on No.4 District. There lVere present on parade 127 Offic r and men, and 63 Jursing Officers and SIsters. I was much pI ased with their appearance and work. On the 10th September I was pr sent at an am bulance demonstration at Sheffield, at which 39 Ollie rand m nand 2 J ursina Officers and sisters of various Oorps and Divisions of .r o. 5 Di trict were on parade, together with some 300 persons holdin a first aid certificates 'III any way connected with the Brigade. b Wh 0 were not The whole were unde~ the charge of Deputy-Oommissioner \Vardell, and were inspected by LIeut.-Colonel W. L. Gubbins, R.A.M:.C. The stretcher drill and ambulance practice carried out by tIle members of the BriO'ade present were ve~y satisfactory, and the inspecting officer express~d his great approbatIOn of the work don , both by the men and nursin a sisters of the Brigade; the arr.angemen ts for the work carried out by theblatter, in a larg~ tent fitted With cots and nursing appliances, meeting with his s~ecial approval. In a report on the demonstration made by LIeut.-Col. Gubbins to the Dir ctor-General , Army Medical ervice , a, copy of which was courteously forwarded to me by direction of the Secretary of State for War, the inspectin a officer states that "the ban~aging, lifting, and transport of patients from stretchers to cots was admIrably carried out; some of the supposed injuries, such as intestinal wounds and fracture of the spine, being put up and transported in a lUanner that would have reflected credit on any metropolitan hospital."

On the 21st September I inspected the Leicester Corps. 90 Officers and men were on parade. The Brigade drill has not yet been adopted by this Corps, although it was formed as far back as 1882; and only five Officers and eleven men wear uniform. The Association stretcher exercises and demonstrations of bandaging were very well done, and it is greatly to be hoped that this exceptionally fine body of men will in course of time, be able to adopt the regulation uniform, will acquir~ the elements of military drill, and will make themselves as efficient as members of the Brigade as they now are as holders of the Association certificate. It having comb to my knowledge that there are in many parts of the ~ountry so-called Corps and Divisions of the Brigade which have, apparently, not been formed with permission from head-quarters, some that have adopted an urganization totally at variance with the regulation system, and many others that have neglected for some years to make any annual report, or acknowl edge any connection with the Brigade except in name, I have taken steps to ascerta.in the condition of those organizations, and I regret to have to report that my enquiries have brought to light a great deal of irregularity as regards the constitution of many Corps and Divisions; and, in many instances, an utter want of knowledge of the objects of the Brigade, as distinguished from the Association, and of the duties devolving upon its members. I am, however, glad to be able to state that, in the majority of cases-thanks to the assistance of the Deputy and Assistant-Commissioners-the organizations referred to have shown every desire to ~onform to the regulations, now that they have been made acquainted with them; anll I have every reason to hope that before long all the Corps and Divisions included in the Brigade will be similarly organized, and work on the same lines in every respect. The irregularities above alluded to may be traced to several causes, chief among which are the meagreness of the General Regulations of the Brigade hitherto in force, the want of definite instructions for forming new Divisions, a general tendency to confuse the work of the Brigade with that of the Association, the baneful effect in many cases of a close connection between Divisions and Corps of the Brigade and local centres of the Association, and the want of system in keeping up the records of the Brigade at head-quarters and in controlling the appointment of officers and others. . The General Regulations have now been thoroughly revised, and~ If adhered to, will ensure the uniformity of discipline and control whIch are essential to the well being of so large ana widely ramified an organization as the Brigade now is. A pamphlet containing detailed explanations of the objects of the Brigade and the points in which it differs from the Association, and giving clear directions for the steps to be taken by persons who wish to form Divisions) has been issued. The connection of Corps and Divisions of the Brigade with local centres of the Association was undoubtedly of great value w~en the Brigade was in its infancy, and several excellent Corps are stIll connected to some extent, at any rate so far as regards financial assistance,

with local centres; but, in many cases, the dual control thus fostered has been the cause of much trouble, and I do not propose in future to sanction the formation of any Divisions which will not be entirely under Brigade control. New forms for recording the organization of the various Corps and Divisions have been introduced, and when these shall have been filled in, and a system of periodically reporting all changes in the membership of Divisions fully established, there will be a complete record of the personnel of every unit hoth at Brigade and District head-quarters. With the object of stimulating esp?'it de C01PS, as well as of ensuring an accurate register of duly-appointed Officers, I am engaged. in compiling a Brigade List, showing the rank and date of appointment of every Officer of the Brigade, and I propose to publish this annually at a price sufficient to cover the expense of printing. I may state that the returns that have be n called for in connection with this Brigade List reveal almost incredible irregularity as regards the appointment of Officers. 'W ithin a very recent period Officers appear frequently to have been appointed by the committees of local centres of the Association, many have appoin ted themselves, and in one or two Divisions the practice has prevailed of the members electing the officers annually, in all cases without any referenc wbatev r to head-quarters. These returns, moreover, as well as forms recently introduced in order to facilitate the preparatiou of the Aunua.l Reports of the Oorps and Divisions, betray the fact that Officers and. upernumerary Officers have been appointed in total disregard of the proportions laid down in the Regulations, and various titl, have been assumed) such as captain, lieutenant, . tafI'-sergeant rgeant) and corporal, which have never been authorized in the Brigad . As the mode hitherto adopted for notifying Brigade Orders and the appointment and retirement of Officers has been Ull atisfactory, I propose to issue such orders as affect the Brigade generally in printed serial form every six months, or as occasion may arise, and the appointment and retirement of Officers will be notified in a similar manner in Brigade Circulars. I would particularly invit attention to the fact that the Officers of the Metropolitan Corp, from th Ohief nperintencIent downwards, for the ?rst time underwent a special re-examination in first ai 1 (and in n~rsIng, in the case of those holding nursing certificates). I am convll1ced that this is a most important step in advance, and I confidently hope that the Commissioner's Report for 1 99 will show that every ambulance and nursing Officer in the Brigade has had the opportunity of comp}ying with one of the most important provisions of the General RegulatlOns and has taken advantage of it. . Tl~e. subject of the voluntary employment of members of the Brigade ~n mll~tary hospitals and elsewhere, in time of war or other necessity rnyolvmg mobilization of the forces, has been under my serious considerat~on for some time past, ancl I hope shortly to be able to report that t~rs most ~mportant, bllt hitherto entirely neglected, part of the work o the .Bngade has been provided for. ~onslderable delay has occurred in the rendering of this Report OWIng to the inaccuracy of most of the returns rendered by Oorps and

24:1

240 Di visions of the BriO'ade. In previous years no uniform form of annual report has been al'opted, and I found it necessary t.o issue t~ each Corps and Division :1 printed form of rep~rt accoJ?pamed by plam and precise directions for filling it in. N otwlthstandmg ~hese precautions, which were intended to facilitate the work of supermtendents and to reduce correspondence to a minimum, the Deputy-Commissioners report that they have had very great difficulty in g~tting the returJ?-s filled in correctly. I do not anticipate ~hat there ~Ill be so much dI~culty or delay in future years, as the mam cause ~f It has ?een the dIscovery, due to the precise information called for.m the vano?-s forms of re~ort above referred to of irreO'ularities and mlsunderstandmgs of regulatIOns b . I n any case, I venture to which I believe ' will rarely bappen agam. think that any inconvenience that may unfortunately have been caused by delay in the rendering of this .Report i.s .more ~han compensated by the beneficial effect of the searchmg enqUlI"leS which the Deputy-Commissioners have been ~ood enough to make into the organization of many of the outlying Divisions in their respective d~stricts. . . The Brigade units number 26 Corps (some of whIch are sub-divided into Divisions and include Nursing Divisions), and 114 independent Ambulance Di~isions, together with 12 independent NUlsing Divisions. The recorded strength of the Brigade on the 30~h Septemb~r, ~8~B, was 9 537 and included 1 Commissioner, 1 MedIcal Officenll-Cluef, 4 Dep~ty-Commissioners, ~ District Chie~ S?rgeons, 6 Assist~~t-Com missioners, 1 Brigade Ohlef Supt., 8 DistrIct Staff, 31 ~ Ulnef. and Honorary Surgeons, 419 Ambulance Officers, B7 Nursmg Officers, 7,146 men, ~and 1,54:2 nursing sisters. These numb~rs, however, do not include several Divisions which have failed to furmsh returns. During the year the following appointments have been made by H.R.H. the Grand Prior. Colonel C. Bowdler, Oommissioner. . . Mr. Synney W. Malkin, Assistant-Commissio.ner, No. !5 Dlstnct. In conclusion, I take this opportunity of tenderIng my best thanks ~o the Medical Officer-in-Ohief, Sir William IacCormac, Bart., for hIS care and promptness in endorsing the selection of ~onor~ry. surgeoDs appointed during the yea.r, and to the Deputy-OommissIOners .of Districts :-Dr. Hey, Brigade-Surgeon Lieut.-Col. Elliston, YD., Major Trimble, V.D., and Mr. Wardell, for their valuable assistance and cooperation; and especially for the care with which they have endeavou~e~ to ensure the accuracy of the Ann ual Reports of the Corps and Dmsions in their respective Districts. It is my duty also to report that ~he Assistant-Commissioners continue to do valuable work in tbeir:respective Districts, that the Brigade Ohief Superintendent renders me every assistance, and that, generally, the officers and other memb6rs of the Brigade are earnestly endeavouring to fulfil their voluntarily-undertaken duties to the best of their ability. I beg to submit the reports of the Deputy-Commissioners on their respecti ve Districts. I have the hOD our to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's obedient servant,

REPORT OF THE OHIEF SURGEON. HEAD-QUARTEltS:

JOliN'S GATE, OLEnKENWELL. 1st October, 1898.

SUlo,--

I have the honour to report upon the medical efficiency of the Metropolitan Oorps, as shewn by the re-examinations, anel I n,m pleased to state that it is well maintained. The re-examinations were conducted by a ~Iedical Board, consisting of Drs. Binelley, Hargreaves, Ha\ykes, Gidlp.y-Uoore, Brown, and Canell. On account of the number of these re-examinations, extending over a district em bracing the whole of the Metropolitan Police area, it was found necessary to inerease that Board by two additional members, and even then the work entailed upon each individual member was very great. I beg to offer to my colleagues my sincere tlw,nks for their kind assistance. The continued devotion of tIle Hon. urgeons to the maintenance of the technical efliciency of their respective Divisions calls for the wannest tha~ks. An organization, whose mison cl'et1'e is suIlicient surgical knowledge to render first aid when called upon, would fail in it., object if the technical instruction of its memo bers were not considered of paramount importance. . I am pleased to report that the Officers of the Oorps, both ambulance anrlnUl'smg, voluntarily presentpd themselves for re-examination. By so doing ~he~ acted decidedly in the iute:'est of the Corps, and shewetl their desire to mamtam that efficiency which we all see to be so important. I hOlle this re-examination of. Officers will continue, a I feel sure that the fact of their having proved their effiCIency to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners will have an excellent effect in strengthen· ing the conficlence in them of those who are uuder their command. . It is important to impress the fact that our Ambulance Stations arc mtended for first aid only, and are not to 11e nsee1 as hospitals, snrgel'ies, or Free and open dispensaries. With the gradual increase in the Humber of' our statIons, an.d considering the benefits which the general public find they derive from them, thiS should be borne in mind and guarded against. . In the multiplying of Ambulance Stations and the equipment of a body of tr~lDed men, such as the Metropolitan Corps now possesses, the St. John Ambulance Bugade is paving the way to the formation of a complete Ambulance Service for London, which will cOJ?e sooner or later, and of which th~ exi~ting ~)ody. fOl'l~lS a? exc~lle~! nucleus.

Th e attendance at the divisional drills d\\~ws, on the w)lOle, ~ very fail' avera.ge . . The attendance on occasion of public Yt has matertn.lly lllcreasell, and the Corp wa thus enabled to send detachmensto two adtl·t' 1 II oldays, I' IlOna1 open spaces 011 Ban;: the number of temporary

245

244 ambulance stations formed on each of the three. Bank Holidays heing: Easter Monday, 16; Whit Monday, 17 ; ~ugust Bank H?hday, 18. , The number of cases attended to compares favourably wlth that shewn ~ll last year s Repol:t. Duty has been performed at the a.mbulance statJon at the InternatlOnal Universal Exhibition, Earl's Oourt, for. a p~nod of. 25 weeks, an O~cer, or Super?umerary Officer, 2 privates, and 2 nursmg slsters bemg on duty fTom I to 11 p.m. dally. The station was also visited by an honorary surgeon at tated mtervals throughout each day. Night duty from 7 to 11 p.m. l1as been uDdertaken at the" Duncan" Memorial Ambulance Station St. Olement Danes Ohurch, Strand, from 11th lIlay to date, and will ba continued ~n Officer or Supernumerary Officer and two privates being present nightly, Sunday ~xcepted . Sunday duty at St. Paul's Ambulance Station has been performed as usual. . . .. Great praise is due to all ranks for the 'yilhng way m whlCh t~ey have vol~Illtee~'ed for all duties, especially those above mentlOned, and for the effiClent manner III which they have at all ti'nes carried them out.. ." The competition for the" 1:assey Mamwanng qU1? .took place on 8th pecember, 1897, and resulted in a victory for the East Ham Dlvlslon for the secon~ hme. On January 29th the Jubilee M~dals awarded. to the members of tIllS Oorps were presented individually by the RIght Hon. VIscount Knutsford, G.C.1LG., at a special parade held at the Hugh lIlyudelton Schools, Olel'keuwell, when 436 of all ranks WEre on parade. . , A competition was held on 28th Apnl to d~Cld~ the ~eam t? represe~t the Corp~ in the Brigade Oompetition for the" Dewar' hield, wIth WhIrlh was mcorpo~ated that for the" Symons-Eccles" Ohallenge Oup. Th:. succes~ful team w~s furmshed by the East Ham Division. In the final competition thIS team obtamod second place and became the holders of the latter trophy. On'15th May the members of the Oorps, to the num bel' of 270, attended Divine Service at St. Clement Danes Ohurch, Strand, when the sermon was preacbed by the Rev. J. J. H. S. Pennington. A detachment, consisting principally of members of the Cyclist Division, attended the annual Oamp of Instruction. A much larger n~m bel' '~'ould no doubt haye taken part but for the fact that the camp w~s held durmg 'Whitsun week, when the services of all available members are reqmred for tlw open spaces duty performed by the Oorps. On St. John's Day (24th June) a display of ambulance work was given befo~'e the members of the Order of the Hospital of Rt. John of Jerusalem in England III the grounds of the Chal'terhouse ; 110 of all ranks were on parade. A march out and combined drill took place on 16th July, the strength on parade being 86 of all ranks. This was not very sati factory. Officers and Supernmner~ry Officers in charge of Divisions should encourage the members of their resp~ctive Divisions to attend these special parades, as they afford the o~lly opportU1l1ty of acquiring a general 1:lniformity of drill. The drill was helel 111 the grounds of HoDoway Oollege, by kind permi sion of the Pl'incip9.l. . The annual inspection of the Corps ,,,,as held on 20th August m the grounds of Holloway Oollege. The number on parade would no doubt h~1Ve been greater had not the inspection been held so late in the year, wheu a very large number of members are away for their holidays. . T wenty-nine Divisions have been inspected, the parade states bemg, on the whole, very satisfactory, and 30 Divisions have been re-examined. .h Nine special lectures have been given by the Hon . Surgeons of the Oorps, WhlC were greatly appreciated . . Three new Divisions have been formed-viz ., Acton, Harrow, and Wlmbledo~ and Merton and other Divisions are in course of formation. The Oheshunt an Waltham O;oss Division, owing to loss in membership, is now in abeyance. . I have conducted 5 examinations for ambulance Officers, and 22 for Supernumerary Officers during the period under review. The strength of the Oorps is well maintai ned. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yom obedient servant, WILLIAM H . MORGAN,

Ohief Superintendent.

The Divi i.on ha'3 progressed more during the past year than it has done for some few years previously. The members of thi Division have, by their rules, to purcha e their own uniforms. The whole of the members have also purchased overcoats and ,rater-bottles, so that they arc now in all respects independent of the issue of the e articles from the Corps stores. Tho Di vi ion has been represented at every public duty during the past year, and has mann cd the Blackhcath lation on each Bank Holiday. It has also furnish ed, in its turn, detachments for the standing duties at St. Paul's Cathedral, Earl's Court Exhibition, St. Clement Danes' tation, and the Military Tournament. Evcry attu'day afternoon dming the football season one or two men have been on duty at Tufnel1 Park grounds. A 2nd cIa s up. Officer and one man assistcd the Brigade Chief Supt. at tho Royal Agricultural Society's Show at FoUl' Oaks last June. The large number of ('ases attended by members when not on public duty is accounted for by the Supt. and Pte. Ealey being engaged in business where a large number of men are engageJ in railway work, wine and beer bottling, &c. Pte. Ealey during the past year has attended 42 cases, all more or less serious. A section, consisting of a Sup. Officer and 14 men, members of the Postal Institute, Erlgware Road, is now attached to the Division. This is the first body of Post Office employes who have seriously taken up ambulance work.

The large number of drills is accounted for by their being held twice a week , on account of the number of members. The Division has responded to every call tor public duty, but no record of the cases attended to has been preserved in the Division.

Although the numerical strength of the Division has decreased slightly, circum· stances point to a probable tendency in the oppo ite direction, as at this date (October) two large classes are in progress, under the Chief Surgeon (Mr. Sam. Osborn), from which probably many recruits will be drawn. The Division is compos~d wholly of the employes of Waterlowand Sons, Limited, but first aid is !5iven III case of accidents happening in the immediate vicinity of any of the establIshments of the company, as well as in the works. The aggregate number attelld~d ~o during the year has been 518, exclusive of trivial case, such as foreign bodIes III the eye, splinters, &c. Last year's total was 387, and the previous year's 321. The Departmental Challenge Shield, presented by M.r. David . "\Yaterlow, was won this year by the Finsbury Market team. The competition took plac~ ~t tbe head· quarters of the 2nd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers (by the k.ind rer~lsslOn of Col. Pearson), the judge being Deputy Commissioner C. E.

'The Division has taken part in all public duties to which it has heen called during the year, including attendance at athletic meeting at Wembley Park. Last :;' ovem bel' Vi count Knut ford kindly spoke at a public meeting at Harlesden 011 behalf of tlle Division, and afterward. nhscriptions were collected and a permanent litter tation e tahli hed in Harle 'uen Lane, with the con ent of the Wille 'den Urban District OOllncil. Oil ThUl'tiuay, 23ru June, a very serious trap accident in Harrow Road necessitated one of the injured being con veyecl ill an uncon cious condition on the litter three miles to his home at lreenhill. The case was so serious that the doctor accompanied the detachment all the way. On Tue day, 27th eptemuer, a cab accidcnt occurred in Ealing Road. Acting on thc i::lstrnction of Dr. Goddard, three of the members of the Divi ion lifted the patient 011 the litter and conveyed him by rail to the University College Hospital.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COMMIS lONER. 6, COPTHALL AVENUE, E.C.

December, 1898.

SIR__ I ' have the houour to-submit to you the Annual ReIorts of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions in the Disb.'ict under my control. From such returns as I have received, the Di trict strength is shown as follows:36 Ambulance Divisions, consisting of 117 Officers, 17 Su.pernumerary Officers, and 675 privates ~ (lho 6 l~msing Divisions, with a total membership of 9 Nursing Officers, and 125 J ursing isters. As however a considerable number of Divisions have failed to make any annual retur~, this d~es not represent the correct numbers, but shows only those that I ha ve received. A certain number of Divisions, that have appeared in former Reports, are not includecl in that of this year, I having ascertained that they have pl'actict\Uy cease~ to exist; their names are, therefore, removed from the list of Divisio:ls .i~ ~hls District. On the other hand, there has been an increase in the numher of DIVISIOns this year, owing to the formation of the following :-Leighton Buzzal'll, Ashford (S.E.R.) and District, Ramsgate (Police), Ramsgate ( .E.R.), Penzance, Brynmawr, Weston-super-Mare, Burnham (Somerset), also Olney Nursing Division. . Among the Divisions which have been inspected by me this year, I may m.ention Bristol, "which I visited on 2nd July. On this occa'ion I was accompamed .by Dr. Vernon, Assistant-Commissioner, the Inspection lJeing made at the conclus~on of an ambulance competition among ambulance llUpils in that City, at whlCh His Grace the Duke of Beaufort wa present. The e Divisions, although of recent formation, went through their work in a satisfactory manner. On 16th July, I inspected the Olney Division, when there was a good muster of all ranks on. p~rade. The work Llone wa of a very creditable character, the bandaging being dIstinctly good. The W 01 verton and Stony Stratford ursing Divisions were inspec~ed bJ:" I?~ at Wolverton, the parade state being as follows :-Stony tratford Nursmg DIVlSI?n, 3 officers, 14 nursing siRters; Wolverton Nursing Division, 2 officers, 14 nursmg sisters. These Kursing Divisions are in an excellent state of efficiency, and arc doi~g good work. The \Y 01 verton Ambulance Di vi 'ion has, I am in formed, ceased t~ eXist as a Division of the Brigade in this dish-ict, but is working under the auspICes of the local centre of the Association at Euston Station (L. & .VV.R. ) By your permission, the Brigade Chief 'uperintendent und ertook for me. the inspection of the Reading Division. I beg to submit to you his report theleoll, which shows a high state of efficiency in bandaging aud first aid work, although the division and stretcher drill was not as satisfactory as could be wished. Th The East Kent Divisions were this year inspected by me at Favers~am. e following Divisions were represented on parade :-13oughton: 1 supel'~nten~ell~' 1 2nd officer, 18 rank and file, 7 absent with leave; Faversham: 1 Sllpenntenc ell ,

16 rank and file, {) absent w~th leave; Herne Bay: 1 superintendent, 1 1st offi'cer, 4 rank and file, 6 absent WIthout leave, 2 absent with leave; Westgate-on-Sea: 1 superintendent, 1 1st class supernumerary, 1 2nd class supernumerary 12 rank and file, 1 absent with leave. ' The space available for drill purposes was, unfortunately, somewhat limited' ind~ed, m~1C.h. too small for mancet~vl'ing the .whole of this body of men. Th~ vanous DlvislOns were, therefore, mspected sl11g1y undel' their own Officers. I am pleased to be able to express my great satisfaction at the way the work was carried out, and the steady improvement shown. I wish in particular to mention the Westgate-an-Sea Division for the excellence of their drill. This, I think, is in a great measure clue to the continued instrllction of ergeant-Major Cornelius. The first aid work throughout was in every way satisfactory. I desire here to remark that, where it is possible to hold an Inspection of combined Divi. ions, I consider it of great rvice, tending as it does to promote a healthy rivalry among the LliJferellt Division' engageLl, and thus smartening up the men and generally improving the work. The great difficulty, of course, experienced by country Diyisiolls, is the expen e en tailed in bringing men any distance. The Ja t Divi 'ion in pectecl liy me was that of Caterham. The members are now all in uniform. The work hower1 a mn,rked and steady impro,-ement, especially in drill. Theyac<luitted them 'e1 ve in a satisi:'l.ctory manner. I in pected, at the same time, a new litter of the latest pattern, which has been presented to the Division by an anonymous donoL·. The I1pel'illtentlent also informs me that a piece of ground, situated in the centre of the tom), lUI' been acquireu, on which it is intended to erect an am bulance station. In my Report of last year, I hall occasion to call attention to the want of knowledge of Brigade Rule' n,nd Regulations clisplayer1 by the Officers and member' of many Diyi ions. During the year uncler review, [1 very great deal has been done throughout the Di ·trict to remedy thi tate of affair. To give one notable ill tance the Oxford Divi iOl1. Thi Division ha been in a state far from sati ·factory for 0111 time' hut, owing to the willinglle s di played on the part of the Officer and men to ltd 011 my r,ugge tiOIl, the Division has been practically re.forllled, and is now in a Yery 'ati factory condition. Drill are being regularly helJ, and it i propo ell at OI1L'e to plnce some of the men in nnifol'lll. The Oxford Oorporatioll, I under -tancl, are also giving practical help to the Division. To the zea,] !tI1<l energy displayed hy up rintenc1ent Foort, much of the credit for this imnrOVGJllellt i clue. Other Divisions in the Di trict have al 0 placed them elves on a correct h(~sis to properly carry out the RCh'11Iations. There till, however, re1llain ome few that require re-organizing. The chief dilliculty lLppear. to me to ari'Fl from confusing th~ eel'tiJi.ca ted pupils of tllA Association ,vith properly onrolled members of the Bngade. I beg al. 0 to lay beforp you the Report of my A istant-Commi sioner, Dr. ,Villiam Vel'~on, whom I agH,in wish to thank for th(} vall1uble and careful help that he has at all tlmes rcndered me by taking charge of the we tern portion of the Di trict. It is with regret that I receivecl from him the anllOllncement of the udden death of Dr. Buchan, Hon. nrgeou to Lhe ltIill Ba,y (G.W.R. ) Divi ion, Plymouth, "one of our mosL energetic, able, and ha,rdwol'king Oificers, and who spared no pains in the advancement ot tho work generally." .In. closillg' this Rellort, the la t I hall make as Deputy-Commissioner to theDIS.tl'lCt, I desire, Sir, to pbce on record my appreciation of the willing manner in wInch m.Y witlhes ha.ve always been carri('c1 out by a.ll rank during the time I have h~c~ ~he honour to he in charge of the Di. trict. Wh erever my dutv ha taken me in Vlslbng the various Divisions, I have at all times met with 0 kind a reception, that duty has been made a pleasure; and I shall always retain a feeling of sincere regard for those \l'ho haye been so closely associated with me in the work. Among so large a.body of voluntary h elparit necessarily follows that some clifficu1tie nlllst, at hmes, arise; but I have always bee1l fortunate in hav,ing Ofl1cers andmcn to come forward, an(l, by their energy and good 'ense, enable me to nrmonnt and OVe1'C0111e all such difllculties. ,Vith so excellent a spirit animating all rauk ,there honld be a good fatnrc before the Di trict; this is my earnest hope n,uc1 wish, and I shall always be pleased to heal' of the future welfare of the District, anu. its con tinued progress.

REPORT

THE

ASSISTANT

COMMISSIONER BITTON, NEAR BRISTOL.

SIR,

I have the honom to submit to you my report for the year ending September 30th, 1898. The alteration of the Brigad.e year ending Sept.ember 3.0th in· stead of October 31st, as in previous years, has .necessltated ml postpomng the m~pee· tions until late in Spring or early Summ~r, \Vlth two ex.ce'p~lOD~, namely at Bnstol, where you, in conjunction with myself, Inspected the DIVIsIon m July, and at Red· ruth, where I inspected the Divi"ion on October 13th. 'The men tUl'De~ u:p well and went throuah the drill indudin a stretcher, hand·seats, and resuSCltatlOn of the drowning, a~ter which tl;ere was a ~ompetition a.mongst ~he men for prizes kindly provided by their Hon. Surgeon, urge.on-Ca:ptalll Lawne, who takes tl~e greatest interest in the Division and to whom Its eXistence and success are entirely due. Eiaht of these men will' be in uniform within the year, as also will be six of the o Bristol men. The alteration ofthe inspection to the early part of the year has met with univer~a.l approval in the ·W estern District, as during four months of the summer very. few driLls can be held, owing to the various other employments of the n:en at that time. I am pleased to say that all the Divisions have maintained then strength, and many will increase during the winter, when new classes are to be h~ld ; al 0 .that the movement is now beginning to spread rapidly iu the West, and WIll take firm root now local prejudices are being overcome. . The Bath Division, I am sorry to rcport is moribund, as there are only SIX men. on the strength, four of whom are Officers . I thought ~t .my. duty to call ~h~ .attentlOn of the Commissioner to this state of afi'all's. My opllllOn 1S that the DIVISIOn o~ght to be disbandf:'d, the Officers appointments cancelled, the material at the vanouS stations withdrawn and the stations dosed. This will probably have the effect of impressing upon th~ people of Bath that the St. J olm Ambulance Brigade is of more value and Joes more good work than thbY at pres('nt realise. I have organized new Divisions at Penzance, Brynmawl', YVeston-s~per.Mare, and Burnham, in Somerset. New Divisions are also in course of formatlOn, I hope, at Exeter, St. Ives, Minehead, etc. I am much surprised that Wilts and Dorset have no Divisions, at least I have no official knowledge of their havin g any. . In conclusion, Sir, let me thank you for the courtesy you have always .dIsplayed, and for the very able and valeable advice you have always been ready toglve. lalso tender my hearty thanks to the various Hon. Surgeons and Officers lor the k~en interest they are taking in the work, and the assistance they are ever ready to gIve me. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. VERNON. .'

Removals 1.

During tho pa t year some slight progress has been made by the members in stretcher drill, but owing to the want of funds, the Divi ion is unable to obtain the necessary appliances for drill, ctc. The Di vi 'ion has attenued all the football contests during tho past season, and also the sports on bank -holiday, when three cases were treateu. On Easter aturday the members wore in attendance on the football field, when one of the competitor ha(l both boneH of the leg broken . The injuries were attended to, a stretcher was borrowed, and the patient was carried to the infirmary, a di tallce of about one mile from the scellO of the accident.

This Division has for SOlJ1e time been carrying on its work under difficulties, and will probably be reconstituted. When first forIlled the 1mb lie took a great interest in its wel,rare, an{l two very sllccessful concerts realised sufficient money to pTIchase an amhulance wagon, several stretchers, and other necessary appliances, so that it is well equipped. The ambulance wagon i· in con tant u e, and twenty-six cases have been removed in it to Lbe hospital or private houses, and after paying exren, es for standing and for horses, the profit 011 these removals has been devoted to paying off the debt, whidl has now 1leen reduced to half, and will it is hopell he soon wiped out. E\rery year strenuous efl'orLs have l)een made to form a lirst aid class, from which recruits might he ohta.ined. but with practically no restJon e. Only seven or eight men ha\re sigllifietl their willingness 1,0 go through the course, hut the fees payable to the .A. sociutiol1 are too heavy to allo\\' of running a cla s for such a small Dumber. l\Ieeting, have been heM regularly through the year, and the men are much more efficient in chill . c\'eral Jaclit's 11a ve (1 ualifleu for a nursing Divi 'ion, and it is allticipttted thut very shortly this will he formed.

The work of the Division was suspended for a short time during the summer months, and is about to be re-startecl with the prospect of au increase in numbers. Since the last report some of the members have left the town. Meetings for drill and practice have been held once a fortnight during the winter and spring. D uring the past year the members have attended several minor cases, and one very serious one, that of a lad ru..'1 over at the railway station j he was conveyed by stretcher to the hospital, where it was found neces al'y to amputate both legs.

Since the first annual inspection of this Division on the 20th November, 1897, it has increased in num bel'S and efficiency. The cases attendeu to include cOlHulsion , broken leg, dislocation of ankle and fracture of tibia, hip injured by fall, extreme collapse from horse throwing and rolling upon its riuer (artificial respiration effectually employed), broken rib, badly scalued face and eyes. Seeing that the men are somewhat scattered, they have tumed up well to drill and take an intel'e<;t in the work. Funds are difficult to obtain, and are much wanted for putting the men ~n uniform. It is hoped that the Redl'uth Division will be able to put twelve JUell lJl uniform next year.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY-COUUISSIOKER. 2, Mu:mu:\1 STREET, IPb'YICli. 15th October, 1898.

SIR,

I hayc3 the honour to submit the follo\Ying as my Annual Report for No.3 District, for the year ending September 30th, 1 9 . The various Corps and Divisions in the district have made considerahIe progress during the past year. There is a falling oU' in the numerical strength of both ambulance and nursing Divisions, partly owing to the weeding out of non-ellicients, but on the other hand the Corps and Divisions in the di trice have never been in such an efficient state as at the present time. ew Divisions have been forIlled or are in course of formation at Hallaton, Ipswich, Rynochs, Leice tel', Madele)', and. Rothwell. Chelmsford remains in abeyance, owing to the engineering strike, and Rineton and King's Norton have ceaseu to exist. In January, the 1 jubilee medals conferred by Her Majesty on the Officers and men in No.3 Di trict, who were on duty in London on Jubilee Day, were forwarded to me for d.istribution. The 61 conferred on the members of the Iortlmmpton and Wellingborough Corps ,,-ere presenteu by the High 'heri[[' oftlte coullty at a public meeting held at the Town Hall, N ortharupton, 011 February 12th, ullder the presidency of the Mayor. The preselltatiolls at Dudley aJld Crewe were a.lso made at public meetings, all of which passed oll' with great eclat. The annual Brigacle Camp of Instruction was held. thi year by the kind permission of' ir Thos. Hesketh, Bart., at Easton N eston Park, TOlYcester. Deing in K o. 3 Dish'ict, the Camp was placed under my command, and I had the ad vantage of the valuable help of the following sta£f, Assistant-ColllUlissioner Woolston, Brigad.e Chief Superintendent Church-Brasier, and Messrs. Piers and Trimmer, Superintendent of tores, ~Ietropolitan Corps, to all of whom I am llIuch iudebted for helping to make the Camp a 'uccess, The number und.er canvas from May 28th to June 1. twas 130 Ollicers and men, and for the rest of the week 60 of all ranks. The discipline and' conduct of all present" ere very satisfactory, llotwithstandillg ~wo very wet days and nights at the lJeginning of the week. A separate report haY1:llg been submitted, it is unnecessary to refer at length to the work carried out, wInch . was throughout the week of a practical and insLl'1lctive character. On 9th July, I held the annual inspection of the N orthalllpton Corps III the grounds of the Infirmary. Th e total strength of Ollicers alld. men on parade was 145, all being under the command of Chief Superintendent PelTY. The march past, division and stretcher drill were witnessed by the President (the 1\l arquis of NOl:thampton), the :Mayor, and a large and influential company. The feature of the r~vlCw was the transport work, in which the two-horse ambulance carriages, severa.l lItters and bicycle stretchers took part. After the inspection, the Marquis of N orLhampton presented the medallions gained by various members of the Corps, and. in an .add.ress expressed. himself as highly gratified with the progress made l)y the Corps smce he inspected. it two years ago. I n the evening tIte annual supper ,\'as held at the Grand Hotel , when about 140 Officers and men sat down, iucluding the Mayor, my staff, and several supjJorters of the Corps. .

296 "REPORT OX THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT ,VELLINGBOROUGH, 2ND SEPTEMBER,

1898.

Head-quarters, -Welling borough Corps. 8th Septembel', 1898. SIR,

I beg to report as follows in reference to the accident which occurred at the :l\lidland Railwa.y tation here on Friday night last, 2nd Septemher, 1898. The train is due to pass this Station at about 8.12, anrl when near the centre of the down platform, it da.shed into a platform truck that had fallen on to the line. This caused the engine to foul the metals at the end of the rlatform, and, swinging to the left, it rushed with terrific force into a high embankment, where the train was wrecked, one of the carriages taking fire. Cycli t Rogers and Police Constable Powell were crossing the footbridge from the up platform at the time, and, rushing at once up to the wreck, set to work to rescue the injureu. Station Foreman nlorris, with great presence of mind, promptly ordered th e four stretchers and two boxes of ambulance appliances belonging to the Railway Company to be got out, and at .16 he telephoned for all the doctors and ambulance assistance it was pos ible to get, the message reaching our Headquarters at 8.20 Fortunately five of my men were there, and they at once got out the horse ambulance, filling it with 10 stretchers, 6 sets of splints, filleu water-bottles, 4 medical havresacs, 2 ambulance hamper, over 100 roller and triangular bandages, anu hurricane lamps. Meanwhile Supt. C. Nichol on and hoI' e arriveu, and driving at full gallop, picking up Dr. Watson on the way, they reached the Station, a mile distant, at 8.30 p.m. Drs. Audlanu and Hollis arl'iveu at .33 p.m., followed in rapid succession by Drs. Clark, Morris, Fryer and Saunders, anti myself with other men, with litter anu a furtber supply of havresacs, bandages, &c., which I took from om reserve stores. The work of rescue and temporary treatment of sufferers was set about with a will, and notwithstandillg the terrible nature of the injuries and truly awful surroundings, the wounded were removed in an incredibly short time to the waiting l'ooms for further and more complete examination and treatment. The news of the disaster soon spread, and not only brought a vast crowd on the scene, but also a large number of private carriages placed at our disposal for the removal of the less injured to homes that weru with the greatest kindness thrown open to receive them. Four somewhat serious cases were then sent on to Leicester in ()harge of four of my mell. Eight very seriou ones were seut on to Northampton Infirmary by pecial train in charge of Dr. Watson and 14 of my men, beds having previously been telephoned fo,'. Five cases were l1Ut up and weU cared for at the Station Master's house. Seventeen other cases, some of them very serious, were conveyed to private places of residence. This left us with Miss Clark, whose case was one of the worst and most pathetic, and from the very first appeared to be quite hopele s. Soon after midnight Dr. Audland gave me instructions for moving this case to the house of urse Kay (o~r district nurse), for whinh purpose I told off eight men to carry the stretcher, thIS being considered the only way possible under the circumstances, although the distance ,vas nearly half a mile. Subsequently I assisted Dr. Audland and Nurse Kay in removing the mangl~d leg at the knee, the patient being too collapsed to bear a formal amputation. MISS Clark died at 4.25 a. m. During the night Drs. Hollis and Audland visited other serious cases, and I remained on duty with five men all night reauy for any emergency that might arise. After treatment of all these cases, we had sufficient stores on the spot to treat as many more if necessary. Saturda.y, 31'0. September. Aoting on medical orders, we redressed nine case~ and despatched them to their homes at Leiuester by the 10 o'clock train. The remamd~r <Jf the day, up to the departure of the 10.16 p.m. train, was pretty well taken up III assisting friends and relations in tracing the de!'1d and injured . Sunday, 4th September. I arranged for the removal of Miss Clark's body to Leicester. lVIonday, 5th September. I saw lVIr. and Miss Lomas, of Derby, and Mrs. Gedge, of Leicester, off by the 10 o'clock train. I have also received instructions for the removal of lVIr. and Mrs. Hornabrook by the 12.13 train to Leicester on Saturday. The other case remaining h ere ~s that ~f the Rev. Gedge, Vicar of Aylestone, who is lying at Dr. Hollis's house WIth a velY

The past year has not been marked, like its predecessor, by anything of special interest. The Wheat Sheaf, North Evington, and London and orth-vVestern Railway Divisions are new formations; the last named supplied the winning team in the Railway Competition for this district, and secmed a high position in the General Competition at Crewe. The Town Divi iou and "Working Men's College Divisions have done good work at the various sports they have attended . Some serious injuries were attcnded to; the want of proper equipment was again felt. Tbe number of cases reported bears little proportion to the number attendeu to, as ouly some 50 cases are entered on the books. Several cases of broken arms, severe cuts, &c., are not entered. The character of cases attended to has beeu of the usual kind-scalp wounds, severe cuts, four broken arms, one broken leg, faill ting, epileptic fits, &c. The horse and hand ambulances are iu gOud working order, and are highly appreciated by the public. A new ambulauce litter, thoroughly e<luipped, has lately been added to those already in use.

J" ew havre acs , stretchers and am bulance hampers have been purcha ed, wb.ile the horse ambulance ha s been fi~ted ,y~th new Dunlop pneumatic tyre~ at conslderable ex.pense. At the annual ll1SpectlOn, the President the Most Honourable the Marql1ls of Northampton, "'a present, and the Deputy-c'ommissioner expressed himself as highly pleased with the work of the Corps. Th e presentation .of the .Jubilee :Medals was made hy the High Sheriff of the County at a ]Jubhc meetlllg held at the Town .Hall, Northampton, on Saturday, 12th Febmary, 1 98.

Detachments of the Corps with their tents and appliances for rel1llering first aid have been on duty at all athletic sports held at the County Cricket Ground, football matches throuabout the season, at Franklin's Gardens, amI the National Cross County leeting at Hort?n. A letter ,,"as r.eceived .fro111 the secretary of the Salford Harriers thankmg the Corps for ltS serYlces on the latter occasion.

At tbe invitation of the Mayor of Northampton the Corps attended church wIth the Corporation on , nndav, 12th June. Other church parades were att('ud('d by the Corps at Kingsthorpe, Duston and St. James' End; !llso a chapel parade at Earl's Barton. The Fire Briaade havin a rejoined the Corps, Sl1perilltenrlellt Reeves, with the consent of the cbief Const~ble, has assiduously assisted to train the meUl bel'S of the Briaade for the necessary examination. In the recent Wellinerboro' railway accident, the Chief nperintenrIent, who happened to be on the spot at the time and wit?e~sed the catastrophe, rendered fi.rst aid as far as he was able.

The Corps consists of Head-quarters Divisions, Higham Ferrel's, Ringstead, Rushden, Fineden, Wollaston, Irthlingboro' a1ld Bomeat Divi ions, which are all well equipped, and a great deal of practical work has been well dOllc. The Cou~ty Agricultural how was held at Rushden this year, and for three (lays the h~slHtal tent was fittecl up and manned night and day by men of the Rush(len allel HIgham Ferrel's Divisions in charge of Chief Supt. T. H. Hilton, a1ld First OfIicer Groome. Fortunately the weather was c001, and only nine eases required treatment. ~here is a decided improvement in the smartness and efIjciency of the men. WIlby, Irchester, and Harrow(len Divisions have not made as much progress as co~ld ue desired, but it is hopeu that before another year is out, they will be well cqUIppcd, and more thoroughly efficient. The Head-quarters Divisions show a slight falling oil' in numbers, accountcd for by removals and the fact that a number of men who made no eIl'ort to keep themselves efficient have been struck 0[I'. The work of the remainder has ueen the heaviest on recon1, and the most variecl in its charactcr. OfJi cers and men have been on duty at all football matches and outdoor public gatherings. Durill.g. the year the Head-quarters Division has given a good account of itsell' in com petltIOn s, the following trophies being won by them :-The " D ewar" Jubilee Shiel?, competecl orthamptonsllll'e.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY OOMMISSIONER. LOUTH HOUSE, BAMBER BRIDGE, near PRESTON. 9th December, 1898. ' IR, I have the honour to present to you my Report on the No. 4. District for the year ending 30th September, 1898. At the close of the year I had under my charge 11 amhulance Oorps, and 34 ambu· Jance Divisions, with a total effective strength of 2126, ann 21 nursing Divisions, numbering 54 nursing Officers and sisters. I have to record a decrease of some 246 am bulance Officers and men. This is mainly due to the loss of 200 members in the Oldham Oorps through the withdrawal of the Police Force, who were formerly attached to this Oorps. If I am obliged to note a falling away amongst ambulance men, I am gratified to notify a substantial increase of 244 nursing Officers and nursing sisters, which practically leaves my command at last year's strength. The ambu· 1ance Divisions at Shaw and Sabden have ceased to exist, and new formations have been sanctioned at Radcliffe, Rawtenstall and Trawden. The Great Harwood Nursing Di-;-ision disappeared, but new nursing Divisions have sprung into existence at Bacup and Hebden Bridge. I have no doubt the mere &tringent and regular enforce· ment of Brigade Regulations, coupled with the genE'ral adoption of uniform, have hurried the retirement of timid membels from the Oorps and Divisions under my supcrvlslOn. These timid ones haVE: been supplemented l>y a few who could not bring themselves to obey Cirders. It would be utterly impossible to carryon the Ambu· lanr,e Brigade movement in No. 4 Digtrict, or elsewhere, if a healthy regard for discipline did not exist or pervade all ranks. Although I regret the loss of these first ai.ders, yet I cannot be blind to the fact that the loss is mitigated by compensating advantages. During the ycar to which this statement refers, I find that first aid has been rendered in 3651 instances ann 2050 cases of tranf:port by horse ambulance and litter performed. It is pleasant to state that, again and again, numerous memberg of the medical profession have expressed, both verbally and. in 'Writing, thei.r entire satisfaction at the manner in which first aid 11as been performed. and transport effected, and I am sure that ambulance men of all grades are deeply indebted to the profession for the kindly treatment received at their hands. Inspection duty has been undertaken as follows :I inspected the Accrington Oorps at their head-cl'larters on 19th February; one .surgeon, one ambulance Officer, six Supernumerary Officers and 35 privates paraded. The Brigade uniform was worn by all ranks. I was extremely weJl pleased with all I saw. The turn-out was smart in all respects.

314 are satisfied with the improvements in all Corps and Divisions. There are yet velY many points requiring alteration and improvement. The irregular and poor attendance at annual inspections is the first matter which must be rectifieu in the near future, The following nnr ing Divisions were paraded for my inspection at Blackpool on 18th Jnne;Blackpool, Colne, Longridge, Nelson, Hapton, Padiham, Accrington, Burnley, Barrowford, Cliiheroe, ,),alton-Ie-Dale, Barnolds\yick, Foulridgc, Oldham. I sal\" the Preston Nursing Division at Preston, on 12th July, Assistant-Commissioner Derham inspected the Heuden Bridge Ul'ses on 17th eptember, and District Chief Superintendent Whittaker the Foulridge and Bacup ursing Divisions on 21st ~eptember ftnd 6th Octojlel' respectively, No ilJSpections of the after-named nursing Divisions weTe held :-Read, Roy ton and Tottington. Personally, I am aware that general progress is manifest on all sides, 1I1any Corps and Divisions are vastly superior to others, and my desire is to leyel up\\'arcls and so have throughout No, 4 District, as nearly as pos ible, a uniform standard of efficiency, r DUl'ing the year many interesting events happenE'(1 in the dishict. pace will not peTmit. of any lengthy Temarks on these point, uut I would like, briefly, to allude to some of the most important. On 5th February I attended at Padiham and handed over to the Patliham Division and the "tolyn of PaLliham a very handsome hoI' e ambulance wagon, There was a good muster of amhulance men and nursing si tel' , the forlller coming from ,Vhaney, Accrington, Hal)toll, Read and Parliham, and the latter reprcsenting Hapton, Read and Padiham, Colonel Sir Herbert Perrott, Bart., Chief ecretary, t . John Ambula.nce As~ociation, \'ery kindly came to Preston on 12th March and distribl~ted to the members of the Brigarie in this District Her Majesty's Jubilee Medal, conferred on the Officers and men who IYt"re on ambulauce 'treet duty 011 Jubilee Day, The parade was formed in the Guildhall, Preston, and ir Herbert Perrott inspected it and was good enough to express his approval of the smart appearance of all ranks. Afterwards the lIIayor of Preston, Alderman Dr. Dunn, opened the pro,'ep-dings, Sir Herbert Perrott gaye a most interesting address which was listened to by a large audience with marked attention and pleasure. IIe then presented the Jubilee merlals to some 134 Officers and men, The recipients hailed from Keswick, '\Vinsforrl, ,Valton-Ie-Dale, outhport, BarrolYfonI, Oolne, Accrington, N el on, Clitheroe, and Preston. To ir Herbert Perrott we all owe a debt of gratitude for his kindne s in coming amongst the Corps and Divisions in this District. After the presentation of lI1edals the Preston Corps entertained all the visitors in the Guildhall. On 2 tIt February a district conference Ivas heM at Warrington, at which I presided. There was a good attendance an(l many matters of interest WE're discussed. On the occasion of the visit of H. R. H . the Prince of Wales to Sonthport on 18th May, I placed 34 ambulance men and four nursing sisters 011 treet duty. Th e details were furnished. from Preston, Walton -Ie-Dale and Southport, The horse ambulance carriage belonging to the Preston Corps was sent down and pel'fOrlI~ed capital transport service. All the stations were connected by cyclists (Preston) With the horse ambulance station, so as to ensure the prompt arrival of the wagoll whon needed, A fair number of cases required first aiJ attention , I received on the 24th May, through .:\11'. Willett, the Honorary Secretary, outhport centre, a letter from the Mayor of Southport conveying his thanks to the am uulance Officers, men and nursing sisters who were on duty on I th lay. , The Annual Briga(le Conference was heM at Blackpool, on 17th .June, in the polIce Buildings, kine1ly lent for the occasion, His Worship the Mayor of Hhckpool, accomr>anied (to the great pleasure of all) by Mrs. Mather, first took the chair, amI after wel<:oming the clelegate,~ to Blackpool, opened the proceedings, and then vacat~d tIle chairwhich, in the abscnce of the Commissioner, I took as Renior Deputy-CollllllisSlOner. There was a large attendance. I am strollgly in favoUl' of an annun l conrel'ence. It allows us to come in tonch, the north with the south, and the east with the west, creating and strengthening the bol1Cls of am bula,llce brotherhood upon which onr entirely voluntary organization so much depends. The Mayor of Blackpool most hospitably entertained all the officers present at Conference at dinllcr in the most sumptuous manner.

Sm,

I have the honour to report that on Satl1nla:y:, 18th June, ,1 9 , I i,nspecte~, at Raikes' H all, Blackpool, the North-East Laucaslme County Corps. 'Ihe COil S and Divisions on parade are sho,,,n in the appcndix. I regret that the tletachmcnts from Foulridge, Brierfield, Clithel'oe and Bllmley, fail ,d to lJarade, although these Corps and Divisions had signified their intention to do so. . Assistant-Colllmissioner J. C. Derham was in command of a parade nurubel'l?~F 340 men and 297 nursing sisters, total, 637 of all ranks. Acting ~long WI ~ Assistant-Commissioner Derham were Di strict Chief Superintendent ,Vlllttaker al 1C . . f tl 1e. .ran s Chief Superintendent Veevers. ,After I had made a careful lDspectIOll 0 . k and material the Corps marched TJast ir. sections of fours, the nlll:sing ehvIslO~~S leadin a . Th~ marching was good, but that of the llUl'sing sisters partIrularly sma\l' Some ~ost interesting applications of the triangular bandage followed, together WI 1 some very excellent first aid work. . ne I had the honour of welcoming to t his inslJection the MarC)l1ls of Breada~~~ of K.G., KnigM of Grace of the Orrler of St. John of J erusalem, who, as a mem )f tl the Order and at considerable inconvenience to himself, had come to see some 0 I ~c Brigade organizations existing in L ancasllire. His Lordship was kind eno~~ .0 say that he was much l)leased and impressed with all he saw. Many of the celS

from other Districts who were attending the Conference in Blackpool were also present at the inspection. I have. ~ad all active acquaintan?e with the Corps since its inception. Ample opportumhe: hav~ ?een at my diSP.O al to. ~na~le me to judge the progress made, and wIth tIllS It affords me no lIttle gratIficatIOn to express my entire satisfaction. ?fficer~ and men,. of all. ~orps and ,Divisions, now appear in the Brigade regu~a~IOn l1mform. TIllS conditIOll of affall's contrasts most favourably with that obtallllllg three or four years ago, when only very few formations had provided uniform. The appearance of the men was smart, their uniforms were clean and, with a few exceptions, ~vell put on. T?e g~neral discipline improves year by year. The appearance aud clnll of the nurSll1g S1 tel's, uuder the commaud of Su perintemleut Ogd en, of Accringtoll, were highly creditable. I am pleased to see that some of these la(~ie~ are now wearing the regulation gown. For some years pa t. the Lady upeI'llltenrlents and other officers have had the full Brigade nUl" 'iog uniform. Much credit is due to Mrs. Davies, of Clitheroe, and to Miss Fletcher, for tbe ~nterest they take in the Nursing Division of the K.E.L. Corps. Owing to the lllclemeut state of the weather the lJarncle had to lie held in the larae hall and with this limited space it was illlpOS ilJle to carry out the proaram~e of ~mbulance work intended. 0 mg. -Capt. leman, 20th (Arti ts') :JlillcU sex R.

31'Cl .lhlgust, 1898.

SIR, I have the honour to repoTt that on the 16th July I had the pleasure of inspecting the South East Lancashire County Corps at Bury. Although IlOt in your official capacity as Commissioner of the Brigad e, I may remark that the fa.ct of your being on th e field and witnessing the parade gave the greatest possihle gratification and satisfaction to all concerned. The County Corps, to which this report refers, is rluite in its infancy, this being the second occasion on which a review and inspection has been beld. District Chief Superintendent Whittaker was in command. After I had made. a close and careful inspection of men and ambulance material, a march past III sections of fours was executed, and after the Corps and Divisions h ad formed ~n the original alignment, applications of the triangular handage and otllel' first aHl "ork was gone through in a most creditable maImer. The Corps aDd Division s present l1re shown in the schedule attached, the total strength being 127 officers and men and 63 nursing sisters. Very smart the Nursing Divisions lookpd, llllt the ~ontrast between those who wore the uniform and the others wIlo had not a(IOl)tecl tIns dress was markerl. The nursing sisters execuied some very excellent balldaging and ambulance work, with whicb I must express my great satisfaction. Wh en I state that nnly four nursing sisters were present when I inspected at "3acnp l as~ yeal:, and that I now have to record a muster of 63, it is evident that interest m tlns branch of ambulance work is not lacking in South East Lancashire. As regards the men, no very serioLls effort has yet been macle, either by themselves or the lJUblic, to enable them to adopt the Brigade uniform. In adrlressing the parade after tbe inspec·tion, I endeavoured to impress on all present the importance of the wearing of uniform . Brigade ambulance service being so thoroughly Yoluntal:Y and freely extenued in each and every case of nepd, it really devolves on the publ~c to assist, in no niggardly way, the efforts of ambulance men, who, by thw attention to drill a,nd practices, strive to place at the disposal of our thickly P?p,ulated towns and villages a trained body of men always ready and always wlllmg to

Surgeons for all the interest they take in the working of the Division . The expense of the present practice room is felt keenly.

There has been some loss of old members by reason of some haviDg to leave the borough, but the strength of the Corps has increased . iliany of the men have shown much more attcntion to drill and the average attendances are better. The Corps has sustained a great loss by the death of one of the Vice-Presidents, Mr. Thos. Morris, F.G.S., who never refused his help, financially or otherwise, to any cause which appealed to his philanthropic and sympathetic nature. The Corps has been generou ly assisted during the past year by many gentlemen, and especially by Sir Gilhert Greenhall. Bart., Councillor J . Crosfield, J .P., and family, and Mr. T. J. Down. It is indebted to Councillor J. Crosfield for the use of the schoolroom, free of rent, and he has also kindly paid for gas, &c. Supt. -Sec. Croslield has been extremely generous on mallY occasions in entertaining the Corps. Football matches and all public occasions are attended by a squad of men in chargc of an Officer. All the members of the Corps with thei.r wives and friends were invited to Cuerdon Hall, Thelwall, by Vice-President R. A. Naylor, on 21st July. About 160 availed themselves of Mr. Naylor's kindness . Demonstrations in ambulance work and drill were given. A scheme is on foot to hold a demonstration in November. The idea is to mobilize the Corps for a supposed railway accident on the railway embankment some two miles from Warrington . This will not only test the abilities of the men to turn out quickly with their equipment, but it will also bring the usefulncss of the movement prominently under pnblic notice. The second annual competition was held on t h e 24th March for the Diamond Jubilee Challenge Shield. The Chesh ire Lines Railway Engineering D epartment team won the trophy with 265 points gained out of a possible 300 .

I regret, however, that. III one or two instfLnces, owing to a lack of public support, corps .have cea e(l to eXIst, not through lack of interest on the part of the members, but Imply for .t,he \\"allt of funds, and that in places where one \YonlJ expect them to be most pI ntllul. Fresh divisions have been formed at Eastwood and Ileanor, and I hope to he ahle to report, during next year, the formation of other at ~~tford, J.i'eathel: ~olle, Uttoxeter, Eckington, tapleford and Ilkeston, and I anticIpate that a(~d_Ihol1al energy will be shown at snch important plflcPs as Leeds, Bradford, l,n11lshy, Dew~111uj', Burton, Grantham and Darlington, to put the e divi ion ill good workin cr order. 1'lomcf good work was done by the Leeds members at the Yorkshire Agricultural Show, held there tbis year.

356 l'eceived from the Chief SUpel'illtendent of the .r orth taffordshire Corps, as to the decline of the division . I found the difficulties which the officers have to contend with are : (a) Mustering the men dming the spring and summer seasons, when the fanners keep their labourers so closely employed, and (b) Inability of the division to take a sufficient interest in, and grasp the details of, the official Drill Manual. I "ould venture to suggest: That the Chief uperintendent be asked to draw up a twelvemonth's programme; that the Diyisional Officers carry out snch programme in its entirety, reporting monthly their progress to the Chief Superintendent; that Ii best man competition be organized; and that the dlills be specially sanctioned as follows :-J anuary and February, fortnightly; March, April and :May, monthly; June, July and August, exempt; September, October, November and December, fortnigh tl y. The Officer, are interested in their work, and I feel sure that the division can be fully revived and placed 011 a sound basis, and prove a most valuable organization in the village and neighbourhood. Oauldon Lowe Division.-I visited Cauldon Lowe on August 20th. 1898, to enquire into a report of the Chief SUl)el'intendent of the North Staffordshire Corps. I had a lengthy discllssion with the Dinsional ecretary, and I would recommend the closing of the division and the return of stores and material. I would suggest that the members at present on the roll be invited to jOill the ,Yaterhouses Division. Wate1'houses Div~·sion .-I visited Waterhouses also on August 20th, 1 9 , for the same purpose. I find the Officers have difficulty in interesting the memhers, and that, in · view of the district being a purely agricultural one, it is ah olutely impossible for the men to attend drills regularly. I \Youlu recommencl that a list of dates be approved, similar to the one before mentioned for Gl'indon, and that the Chief Superintendent be asked to draw up their programme. I have the honour to be. ir, Your obedient servant, SYD:KEY W. MALKIN, Assistant Oomm,issione1', No. b District. To the Deputy Commissioner, ~ o. 5 District. 158, AKLABY ROAD, HULL,

OctobeT 31st, 1 9 . I beg to report that during the year I have inspected the following corps and divisions. On J tIDe 21st I inspected the Hull Corps. Too lllany members were absent, but the work was well done, the nursing division being particularly well up in their work. The work here is carried on with great energy. 01J Augl1~t 6th, I inspected the Huddersfielcl Corps. Here again the attendance on parade was smaIl, but the work was done in a thorough manner. This Corps also possesses a good nursing division and ambulance material. On September 24th I inspecteu the L?w Fell Division, at Gateshead-on-Tyne. This division is well org:1nized and carned on, the men going through their drill in a very creditable manner. I haye to report that I have also visited Leeds, Bradford and Gril11sby, and regret that in these important towns, where ambulance work is so much needed and would be of daily use, the work is very llluch disorganized. I hope soon to hear that some teps will be taken to have properly established uniformed divisions in these places. On July 30th I acted as judge at the Barnoldswick Annual Competition, and saw some excellent work. I also inspected the ambulance station at the Leeds Show, 011 July 22nd, which was admirably arranged by Mr. Rowley, and can only again express my regret that there is not a good corps in uniform at thi.s important busi.ness centre. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, SIR,

The attendance at the indoor practices has he en very satisfactory, averaging 30, and that at the outdoor drills, while not so good, has, when the many attractiolls of the summer months are considered, been :;atisfactory, giving an average of ~!). In regard to the outdoor drills a considcraLly increased interest has been manifcsted in this important branch of the ",'ork, and thc new members have bcen vcry lliligent and prompt to take advantage of the instruction given them. The indoor practices have been carried through most successfully. They have ueen elevoted to instruction in first aid and practical work by the members. At the request of Dr. Closs (the Honorary Surgflon) detachments attended on two or three evenings at thc University to instruct the members of the School of :Jlines ambulance class in strctcher and carrying drill. The annual inspection was held at Roslyn on March 11 th, 1897, wheu there was a. good muster of the Corps and those interested in our work. A large number of minor cases, and also more serious ones, have ha(l the necessary first aid rendered to them during the past year, but most members are too reticent to makc any formal report of what they have done. During the year the superintendent (}.'[r. Mearns) resigned, and it is intended at the Annual Meeting to fill the vacancy thus cause'l. Increasing interest i'> being The Corps is always reauy to remove patients. manifested by the public in the work ot the Oorps. Thanks are due to his Worship the Mayor for the use of the Firc Brigade Station for the monthly practices, and also to Captain Mitchell for his invariahlc courtesy to the members of the Corps.
