O'B1"!)en Hoare, Bt., one of the senl~r KnIghts of J u tice, was for many years a member of the Councll, and had rendered yu,luable seryice by his support of the Southampton Centre of the Ambulance Department. Lient.-Oulonel Gonlrl llL~ntel'- TVe,,'ion's loss will be greatly felt by the older members of the Order, as he had for a long period of years rendered it most prOlllin.ent and inva~uable as 'istance by his regular attendance at Uleetmgs of Councll and Chapter, ,\"here hi antiquarian anc1 technical know lec1ge of the old, 'tatntes and proceec1in o.. of the ancient Order were of untold yalue. His elevotion to tbe Order, and the active part he took in funnel' (lay,· in in ·i.. ting on the maintenance of its status as a knightly and chiyalric body, ha,-e left members under a deep debt of oTl1Lit llc.1e to his memor)- , and hi intere 1., was still further practically demonstrated oy hi generous bequest of a legacy of £2.50 tu be expended in a way which might be considered to the be t ac1vanta n'e to the Order. ~h' '. lV It it'/.( ol'th P07'ter ,,-as at the time ot her death the senior Lady of J u tice on the Roll.

As is well known, the lateSir Edmund and Lady Lechmere were the original moyers in the institution of this Foundation of the Order, and both, to' the last days of their liYes, ever displayed the most practical and liberal interest in its development and progress. Both made its. prosperity and welfare a personal work of love, and it was in a great measure owing to their unwavering support and generosity shown on many occasions, even in tbe face of what at times appeared insuperable difficulties, that the Hospital has attained.

w.a

to its present flourishing and beneficent posItIOn. Lady Lechmere's munificent legacy to the funds of the Hospital bears eloquent testimony to her desire that an object in which she had so deep an interest at heart might not suffer pecuniary loss by her death, and this last act places a seal on D1any similar deeds of benevolence performed during a long life busied in well-doing. The large silver processional Cross, bequeathed to the Order by Lady Lechmere, is of exceptional interest, as there appears S0111e ground for a suggestion that this lllay have belonged to ir Robert l\Iallory, Lord Prior of Clerkenwell, whose armorial bea,rings are depicted on the shield. The Cross it elf is of the period of the Early Italian Renaissance, but though the shield is Gothic in character, it may have been affixed after Lhe ross was brought to England. lIfajor StollJes will be remembered for the good work he performed for a number of years in maintaining the Lancaster Centre, of which he was a most able and zealous Honorary Secretary. S1.wgeon-General Ja'n'l-e on alway took a liyely interest in the Order and its Departments, and will be remembered more especially for his able and valued co-operation at the Lime of the mobilization and despatch of the St. John All1bulance Brigade Active Service Detachments during the onth African vVar, 1899-1902. Mr. TV. G. Barnes, In?'. had rendered 1110 t timely assistance in the storage and ultimate despatch of many tons of ambulance material and medical comforts for the use of Lhe troops during the same South African Campaign. Colonel N. Y A. ~V(J,les WR,S for some time a prominent and energetic member of the local Executive of the New South Wales Centre of the Ambulance Department. Dr. J . .Ma?·tin was for many years on the Examining Staff of the Association, to which he rendered loyal and good service. Dr. Chaplin will be remembered for the keen interest he invariably took in the work of the Order's British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem and his personal knowledcre o of the locality ~ and its requir81uents was of great advantage and utility to the Committee, and was readily placed at its disposal. The following are the awards given during the year for acts of

In Part II. of this Report a full account of the year's work done at the British Ophthahnic Hospital, J erllsalelU, will be found, as well as a statement of the funds of that In'Litution during the period under review. These funds 'irere 1110 ,t materially assisted by the result of the Entertainment held at His l\Iajesty's Theatre, by kind permi ion of 1\11'. Beerbohm Tree, on the evening of July 5th, 190-:b. The Entertainment, which wa attended by Theil' Majesties the ICing and Queen, Th ir Royal Highnesses the Prinee and Princes of \Yales, Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Henry of BaLtenberg, Princ Vietoria of Schleswig-Holstein, and Princess Ena of Battenberg, as well as by very many Members of the Order and eli ·tinglli:hed personages, proved an unqualified ncce s, and ,,'a the means of adding £2,400 for the benefit of the Ho pital Fund. The thanks of the Order are due to Lady Perrott for her untiring and able efforts as Honorary Secretary of the Entertainment Committee, to the Members of the COlllmittee, to the many well-known ladies who voluntarily ga\'e their services and appeared in the tablea~~x representing the History of the Order, to the Artists who arranged the tablea'l..~x, and to the celebrated members of the musical and theatrical world who willino'ly came forward to assist, and to all those who took and sold tickets for the occasion, an epoch-making one in the financial history of the Hospital. In Part III. of the Report will be found statements of the work done by the St. John Ambulance Association and St. John Ambulance Brigade during the past year. One feature ot the work of the Association has been the increase and extension of ambulance work in India, under the able and zealous organisation of Lt.-Col. A. C. Yate, the Honorary Organising Commissioner for that country. New Centres and Branches have been inaugurated in all parts of the Indian Empire, and H.R.H. the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General, in addition to the Silver Challenge Shield presented to the great Railway Companies ot

India, have also presented a very handsOlne similar Silver Trophy for competition among the Volunteers in India, and it is hoped that this practical encouragement will eventually lead to the formation of Corps and Divisions of the Brigade in India to supplenlent and complement the work of the l\1ilitary l\Iedical Authorities in time of war. An interesting report from Lieut.Colonel Yato will be found in Lhe report of the Ambulanee DepartlllenL of what has been done and what is yet to be done. The work of the Brigade has also extended, and it is very 0Tatifyinc)' to call attention to the fact that two additional Army b 0 Bearer Companies ha'\'e been raised and that a strong Stretcher Bearer neserve i ' under contE'mplation. The men who have joined tho Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve have also had most useful anc1 practical training on board H.1I's. Battleships and aL Lhe grCftt Naval Hospitals; and both the Naval and Military j\ nthoriLics have reported D10st favourably on the work and behaYluur of these mon during the tin1e they were under training. The Receiver-CTeneral has to report that the accounts have been audited oy 'Messrs. Price, ,Vaterhouse and Co., Chartered Accountants, and the Income and Expenditure Accounts and Balance Sheets are printed at the end of the report. The Almoner has Lo acknowledge with grateful thanks renewed and greatly appreciated gifts of Hospital letters, &c., from 1\1rs. Pitt-Draffen, Sir Dyce Duckworth, Mrs. ,Vyndham-Murray, l\Ir. S. Osborn and Dr. Oswald Browne. The RecLol', the Rev. T. VV. Wood, a Chaplain of the Order, states :" T urse Dashwood began to work here in March, 1903, and since "then has been engaged in nursing the sick poor of tills parish. " The manner in which she has performed her duties has given entire " Hatisfaction to all concerned. "During 1904 she paid 2,303 profe sional visits, and attended 130 " different caseH, as follo\ys :" :JIedical 89 " Surgical 38 " Chronic 2 " Maternity 1

COllmiLtee of l'rlanagoment of the British Ophthalmic Hospital have pleasure in presenting to the Members and Associat of the Order, anc1 to their subscribers generally, their 17th Annual Report. The year that is covered by this Report has been an important one. It has seen for the first time our Hospital working under its enhrged conditions with its two surgeons, and its beds increased fr0111 twenty to forty-two. The figures of the surgical tatistic tell their own tale of the extended usefulness of the Hospital, and for the purposes ot comparison, last year's figures are prinLed with this year's at the end of this Report. Following on the enlargement of the Hospital it became necessary to consider the advisability of the appointment of a trained English Nurse as l'rlatron with or without additional English assi tance. It was eventually decided to send out two trained Nurses, who subsequently resigned, and Mrs. Cant kindly consented to resume the duties which she had for so many years discharged to the great advantage of the Institution, and she has accordingly been appointed Matron with authority to engage such local assistance as may be required. The Committee feel that the domestic affairs of the Hospital are safe in her able and experienced hands. THE

Independeut testimony to the generalusefnlnes and excellent 'work of the Hospital in the East has been received during the past year by the:Committee with gratificat.ion. Dr. Cant writes :-" The adv-antage ~f the increased accommodation though apparent throughout the long 'lunmer of ighL HlOnths, is especially felt during the two early months, and again in the two last, when the country people are in the haLit of coming long distances in great nunlbel's. Five hundred and sixty inpatients were admitted this year in the four lllOnths reCen d tothat is an average of 140 a month. All are hath d, clothed, and fed, and their average stay i frOln a week to ten day', so that there is a very active tide of pati n ts Howing through tlw Hospital." The year under review has been responsible for another important landmark in the history of the Hospital. The financial position has for many years past been a source of constant an;.;i 'ty to the 1\1anagement. A great effort was Inade last July to rai (' funds, which re ulted in the substantial snm of £2,440 1s. 6d. being handed over to the Order to be inye. ted for the ben fit of the Hospital. The Entertainment, which proyeu so great a success, took place, by kind permission of Mr. Beerbohm Tree, at His Majesty's Theatre, on July 5th, and consisted of a S ri s of Tableaux Vivants, a Pageant, and musical items, and drnlllati performances. The Tableaux Vivants represented scene.' from the History of the Order, and the Pageant . howed Queen Mary granting to Sir Thomas Treshaln the Charter which revived the Order in England. H.M. The King, H.1f The Queen, and T. .R. The Prince and Princess of ,Vales, and other melnuers of the Royal Family, honoured the performance by their prescnce. Thc best thanks of the Committee are due to all who helped to mn,k the Entertainment the success it was, but especially to Lady Perrott for her untiring energy as Honorary Secretary of the Entertainment COInmittee, and for tbe large sum she was personally instrumental in collecting. The Committee regret to report the death of Dr. Chaplin, one of their number, who was intimately connected with the foundation of the Hospital in Jerusalem. Another supporter who abvay::; took the keenest interest in the welfare of the Hospital has passed away in the person of Katharine, Lady Lechmere. She was besides being a generous subscriber to the funds, an enthusiastic

worker for the good of the Hospital by inducing her friends to aid her in keeping it supplied with a large proportion of the clothing necessary for the in-patients. It is owing to her exertions that the expenditure under the head of (( clothing" has hitherto been so low. Perhaps somc oth l' friend will come forward to take her place and carryon her work. It has been suggested that a General Meeting of subscribers to aml supporters of the I-Iospital might quicken interest in our \\'ork, and the UOIDlllittee have resolved to carry out this idea on some date in May next to be fixed hereafter. The beautiful new Hall at the Gate has been placed at our disposal for the meeting, and it is the earnest hope of the Committee that the experiment may lead to the meeting becoming an annual one. Thanks are once more due to Mr. W. R. Edwards, the Accountant of the Order, for undertaking to collect subscriptions and keep the Accounts. N uve?nber, 190-1.

HE OENTRAL EXECUTIYE O:JDlITTEE has the honour to submit the following report for the information of H.R.H. the Prince of ,Vales and the Chapter of the Order of the Hospital of 't. John of J erusalell1 in England. It is atisfactory to the COlnmittee to record another year of gratifymg progre and a still further extension of its operations both at h01ne and abroad. Amonast the most important meetings of the year have been tho 'e at Ipswich, when Their Majesties the King and Queen and His Royal Hio-hnes the Prince of 'Vales were graciously ple~sed to convey through their PriYate ecretaries their congratulatlOns condition of the oldest Centre in the Eastern on the flouri hinob Counties: at Farnhan1, when an address was delivered and the awards distributed by the Bishop of ,Vinchester: at the College for \Vorking ,Vomen, Fitzroy Street, when Lady Frances Balfour presided and presented awards to the students: at Accrinoton when laior General Baden-Powell, O.B., attended b' J and opened the new Ambulance Drill Hall and delivered an addre . nanatina many incidents of the adyantages of ambulance work in peace and 'Iyar which had come under his personal notice: at Rochdale, for the inauguration of a Drill Hall presented by Colonel and :Mrs. O. nI. Royds, both memb81s of the Order: and at Gosport, Derby, l\Iiddlesbrough, Leicester, and many other places, amongst the more recent being one at Birmino-ham was in the chair and drew b , when the Lord 1\1a'i:01' J attention to the admirable work done by the local unit of the Brigade, one of the speakers, the Ohairman of the local Oentre, emphasizing the duty tbat lay upon l\1unicipal and other public bodies to afford encouragen1ent to the education of the rising generation in ambulance and sanitary work. The importance of this last subject has been of late under the consideration of the Oommittee, and with a view to encourao'ing the greater adopt.ioll

of its home hygiene syllabus, it has been decided that this course of instruction, which was instituted some years ago and which, unfortunately, has not been very largely taken up, should be allowed to count as one of the qualifications for the medallion and revised regulations will be issued before the commencement of next season. Among the Rail way Companies great interest is being ,till taken in the work of the Association and a large number of classes have been held at the recognised Railway Centres and at branches connected with other Rail way Companies where Centres have not yet been formed. The Directors of the Midland Railway Company, although thi i· not reo'i tereel n a" Railway Centre," offer every encouragement to their employes to become certificated, and in their tenth rmnual report state that there are now 8,312 men in the service of the Company fully qualified to render first aid, being an incre,tse of 764 men on la t year ancl a percentage of 12'46 of the total staff of the Company. At the annual meeting of the London and outh '\Vestern Railway, the General Manager, Sir Charles Owen, statecl that although it wa only five years since the organi ation wa started on his railw:lY, he had already signed 1,300 certificates and during the In t twelve months they had had 3,500 ambulance cases. An important meeting in connection with this Centre was held in December at the Southampton Docks, when it was staLed Lhat great interest was shown by the employes of all ranks connected with the Docks, and not only by those belonging to the regular railway staff. The Great \Vestern Railway Centre continues to take a foremost place in railway ambulance work, and amongst its many interesting meetings was one held at Guernsey, when H. E. General CampbelJ presented the awards, the certificates being always signed, as for so many years past, by H.R.H. Princess Christian (the President of the Centre). Many similar meetings h ave been held in towns served by the Great Eastern Railway, the North Eastern Railway, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the Cambrian Railways, the Furness, and other railways. I n the annual report to the Board of Trade of Sir H erbert Jekyll, the Secretary-General of the Order, concerning railway accidents in the United Kingdom, laid upon the table of the H ouse of Commons, it is recorded that the total number of

pl:l,ssenger journeys, exclusive of journeys by seaso~-ticket holders, in the year 1903, was 1,194,833,000. C~lculatlng t~e proportions on the basis of these figures, one In 47,793,3~0 passengers was killed d~uing .the twelve months an~ o~e. In 1,540,745 injured in traln aCCldent. In ~902 the PIO~o:tl~ns were one in 19 ,036,545 killed and one In 1,623,250 InJuIed. The report now presented differs conside.r~bly in form from thos~ of previous year '. Alterations .and addltlOns have been made the classification of railway accIdents under the three heads(1) train accidents, (2) accidents clue to. the mov~ment of vehicles xclu ive of train accidents, (3) accIdents ,yhICh occur on railwn,y premi e which are not eaused by the movement of vehicle -is ca1'1'ied out 1110re cOlnpletely; the further subdivision of accident according as they relate to (u ) passengers, (u) servants, and (c) other persons is more clearl~ nlarked' compari ons are drawn between the nU1l1ber of aC~ldents and the C01'1'e pondino. number of per 'ons exposed to aCCldent· and U . h comparative figure are given for a s~ri~s .of year howmg t e tendency of accidents to increa e or dUlllnls~. In fu~ure years it is intended to Ii tingui h between the accIdents whICh are or are not preventiule by any measures ,vhich could be ado?t~d either voluntarily by the Railway Companies 01' through admmlstrative action by the Board of Trade. In the face of the above relnarkable figures and the statement made by Sir Herbert Jekyll in hi report that more than half the accident, which occur on railways, whether to pa sengers or to railway servn.nts, are due to want of eon11110~ ~are ~nd caution on the pn.rt of the injured people thOlllselves, It 1., ~atls.factory to find that so much interest is taken by railway officln.ls In a work which is so greatly calculated to alleviate the sufferings of the.mselves and their cOlllrades as well as of those of the travelhng public when an accident unfortunately occur. Thi interest i. further intensified by the conLinued popularity of the competltil)ll for the silver cha11en bo'e shield presented by the Order of . . St. John for competition al110ng the railway companle~. 111 England and vVales. The final heats for the 1904 competltlOn took place at the Portman RoOlus on 7th l\Iay last, the Marchioness of Lansdowne presenting the challenge shield and prizes at the conclusion of the proceedings, the ilver shield

falling to the Grea.t Ea. 'tern Rl1illva.y team, which out of a. pos ible 300 point scored 261, the tea.m of the sa.me ra.ilwa.y company ha.'ing carried off the shield la, t year, the Urea.t \Ve tern Ra.ilway coming econd with 2-17 point, the he hire Lille Committee third with 24<5 , the Merse), Rail wa.y fourth with 2-12, a.nd the La.ncl1shire and York ,hire Railway fifth with 231 points.

Among otber importa.nt competition of the yem' were tha.t fur a fifty guinea sil,er cha.llenge shield ill connection with the Birmingham Corps, won by the 'now Hill team: the 6th annnal competition for the silver cha.llenge shield und I' the au pice ' of the Dundee Centre won by a teatH from Perth; a.nd the Great Centra.l Railway competition for the shield given by Colonel C. 1\I. Royds, C.B., M.P., a member of the enLral Executive Committee, -won by the Hull team. Reference to other interesting similar competition -will be found in the local reports, but mention lllUSt be ma.de of the area.t illlpetu oiven . h O b In t e County o~ Durham [Lnd Cleveland by the presentation 1»), Mr. Donald Bmn, H.

The ~ncourflgement thus afforded by a.n officia.l in Mr. Ba.in's position IS so great that the best a.c1ulowledo'ments are dne to hiln froIn b the Director and Chairman a.nd the Committee. Numerous cIa ses have continued to be held for the instruction of the Metropolitan and City Police of London, and the County Constabulary and Borough Police Forces.

"In this number 31 rescues from fire or drownin o' are included." It. is well ~cnown t~at the hoI' e-ambulance service is admirably c~rned ou t In the Clty of Live~'pool, thanks mainly to the energy dIsplayed by two members of the Central Executive COlnmiLtee ~ow re~ident in Londo~, -who g.ave great a 'istal1ce in former days In placmg the system ill ql1estlOn on a durable and workman-like basis. S~~e new centres have been formed in His Majesty's British domInIons. beyond the seas, notably one for the Orange RiYer Colony, WIth headquarters at Bloenlfontein. This centre was due to the initiative of Lieutenant Harry packman, R.A.M. I . who had been previously selected as an Honorary ervincr Brother of the Order for valuable services at the Dublin centre, and who was in charge of the Dublin Metropolitan Police team which took th~ first prize in the National Competition itt the Crystal Palace ill 1897. Substantial progress has been made in the Australian and New Zealand centres, these centres keeping as much up to date as r~gards progress as those in England, as for instance at \;V~llmgton, Ne,~ Zealand, where a St. John Ambulance Nursing GUll~ has been formed .for the purpose of employing nurses for the slCk poor of Vvelhngton in their own homes, the Earl of Ranfurly, a member. of the Chapter and recently Governor of New Zealand, reportmg to the Council that this branch of work

hns been most successful and Judiciously carried on in the colony. An unique and interesting class has been held for the Fiji Islanders, and a photograph has becn forwarded to the Chancery of a group of the aborigines engaged in rendering first aid. It afford the COllunittee peculiar pleasure to call attention to the great extcnsion of centres n.ncl classes in India, thanks to the energy and unceasing labour of the Honorary Organising Commissioner, Lieut.-Colonel A. C. Yate, whose early departure from that country on the termination of his period in command of hi' Recriment i' llluch reoTetted by Lord Breadalbane n.ncl the n member..

, It i the aim of the Commi ,ioncr to form ten of the"e companies,

" each consistin~: of the regula,tioll e. ·tabh. 'hmcnt of 5 men of all grades, "and up to' the present time .·ix have been formed and are in full "working order, and a se\-enth will shortly be completed. The rule of " the. e companies is to train in time of peace with the objcct of enli<;ting " bodily as complete Bearer Companie. in the Horal Army :JIec1ical Corps " when eyer mobilization for home defence may hc ordercd. After much "unayoidable delay, two important c1 ci.'ion weI' al'l'i\-ecl at by the " Goyernment during the pa. t few months.

All'eady one company (36 .· lJ'ong) has undergone a training at the " •'tation Hospital, Lichfielcl wh erc i~ \\'('t.' in c:nmlJ fur six da,y.' at "'iYhitsuntide. It is permi'-Kible to state that thc report of tbe Principal ":JIedical Ofticer of the District who insp ctec1 the CU1l1}H1.11y i., in th " highest degree satisfactor,Y. The conduct of thC:' 111en \\ n' .·(>mplnl'Y " and the three medical officer, detailed to instruct the men l'CpOl't that " it was a pleasure to teach them becau. e they were [:,0 intelligent and " .. howed ,uch \\'illingness to learn.

Judging from l,tter \\TittPll hy . 0111e of " men it i. e\-ident that e\-ery al'l'angement that ,"as po .... ible was made " for their comfort and in truction. There is a consen 'us of opinion " that the food was good and that there was plenty of it, and all agree "that they were wen l'eceiyed by eyery one on the. 'tail' and that the " fir. t bearer company camp was a thorough succe" . "\Vith regard to the appointment of 111 dical officers to the bcarer "companies, it is a real . ource of satisfa,ction to know that already "seyeral gentlemen of high tanding in the medical profe ·.. ion ha\'e " yolunteered to el11'ol in the companie.', and h\'o ha,\,c actually done o. " The bearer companie. being e. sentially ci \-ilian hoelies, the holding of " actual military rank in them is of COUl'se impo.'. ible, but all the medical " officers of the Brigade who enrol in the companie will be registered at " Army Head-Quarters for appointment as ofiicel's of their respectiYe " companies, and on the moblization of the companies for home defence " in case of national emergency eye]'y medical officer pre. entin~ himself " at the point of mobilization with his company will ?))S{J facto become a "commissioned officel' in the Royal Army hleclica.l Corp'> for the period " of mobilization. As the succe. s of the bearer companies \'el'y greatly " depends on the intel'est taken in them by the medical officers of corps " and divisions furnishing the men, the sincere thanks of the Order, and " indeed. of the country, are due to tho e officer. who are so patriotically " secondmg the voluntary efforts of the men to furnish a substantial " and valuable cOl1tribution to the home defence of the country." t(

It has afforded satisfaction to the Committee that some of its members in their official capacity have accompanied deputations from the Metropolitan Street Ambulance Association to the London County Council and to the Police Committee of the Corporation of the City of London. 'Vhen it is

remembered that the ambulance service of London is so inferior to that of many large towns in the United KingdoI1l, as for instance, Liverpool, l\Ianchester, Belfast, Birkenhead, H~lifax, Dublin, Bradford, and other Centres) it is gratifying to the Committee that any action taken by its nlembers, either in their collectiye 01' indiyidual capn.city, should be of service in placing such matters on a footin~ ~110re wor~hy of t~e greatest city of the ,,'orld. It feels that It IS expressmg the V.lOWS of the members of the Order in its sympathy with the objects of the l\JetropoJitan • 'trcets .

I~VALID TR.-\~ 'POHT CORPs.-The remoyals ca.rried out during the past twelve nlonths number 1,40], an increase of 141 OYCl' the previous year. Sixty-nine room to room removals ha\'e been made in addition. One foreign (London to Boulogne), and eighty-foul' country journeys ha\'e been lllrtele. j .. mongs the latter may be mentioned the follO\\'ing :-,Yoking to Duxton; Reigate to Daventry; Sheringhalll Lo Bromley, Kent; Chatham to Enham, Ando"\er; U ppingham to :JIrtrypoint, \ll11berland; Scarborough to Frtrrisfield, -'- oUs; Londun to Killiney, Ireland; Duwlish, Cromer, Folkestone, X Clyca ·tle-on-Tyne, anc11",-,xl1l0u tho :Many long journeys by roud haye ul'o bocn lllrtde. l)aLienls of small means and tbe sick poor haye received assistance as usurtl. The horses und carriages, as fur as the Transport ~ 'cryice p 1'n1ittec1, have been used by No. l. District It. J 01111 Allluulance Brigude in connection with the performance of public dULy.

The Committee cannot conclude this report without drawing attention to the letter signed by its late Director and Chairman Viscount Knutsford, in his capacity as Chairman of the Central British Red Cross Council, which appeared in the newspapers in November last, the importance of the snbject matter being emphasized by a leading article which appeared on the same day in the Times. The Central Executive Committee trusts that, ,vhenever possible, every facility will be afforded by its centres and branches in carrying out the object of an organisation which aims at placing the Red Cross work in time of peace on such a basis thut in the eventuulity of war this country may be prepared for all emergencies. The object is one which must appeal to all the supporters of the St. John Am bnlance Association, especially when they cull to mind the many tons of material which were forwurded by the Ambulance Department of the Order for the llse of the sick and wounded during the recent war in South Africa, and a regurds pe l' onnel, the invaluable services renderecl by the Actiye Service DeLaehments of the St. John AlllbuLmce BrigLtdc both In Sou th Africa and China.

This makes a grand total of 1,071, sincc it was opencd in November, 1901. The following cxtract from a lett ' 1' rec iycd by the Secretary, London and Inelia Docks Cumpany, froUl an official of the Amalgamated 'teveelorcs IaLour Prot ctionLcngue, is of interest. "On behrtH of the Executive Council anelmembers of the above Society, I am desired to express their gratitude for, und sincere uppreciution of, the stt1.Lion lrhich has ueen pbced ill the ,Vest India Docks for the treutment of persons injured in the dock. I shall be gbd if you cun convey our sincere and hearty thanks to an pl.Lrties concerned in the placing of the station in a spot where it is of such greut and good service."

ST. PAUL'S A~1B"()LAKCE STATIoN.-The numuer of cases treated during the past twelve months is 520, an increuse of 57, muking the total number of persons treated at this station since it was opened, 4,834. Niemuers of No. I District, St. John's Ambulance Brigade, continue very kindly to take duty at all the more important services held in the Cathedral and also on Sundays.

In conclusion, the Director and Chairman and the Comluittee again desire to place on record their deep debt of gratitude to the l()cnl Executive of every degree, and not less to the 11lembers of the l\ledical ' taft: whose generous support and untiring labours in afi'onling instruction, often ut consideruble pecuniul'y sacrifice, have for 0 llluny years past proved of such untold vcl,lue in carrying out the philanthropic work of the Ambulance Department. That such support may long be generously rendered, not only by tho Medical Profession, but by the supporters of the Associa.tion of every grude, is the earnest wish of the Committee, and will be in the future, a it hus been in the pust, most sincerely appreciated by His l\lajesty the King, the Sovereign Head and Patron, and His Royal Highness the Prince of ,Vales, the Grand Prior, and the Chapter General of the Hm;piLaller Order.

ANNUAL REPORT. Owing to the absence of the former hon. Secretary, and the fact that we had no chairman, the classes of the above Centre have not been continuously held since their formation in 18!j5. This year they ,yere re-organized by our energetic treasurer, who has been invaluable to us since its formation. 0 far we have only two classes, the police and postmen, and the Volunteer class, the lecturcr for th e former being Dr. E. O. Price, and for the latter Dr. Corbet W. Owen. Twenty-seven members presented themselves for examination, 21 for their first examination, 3 for their second, and 3 for their final, all of whom satisfied the examiner. We hope during the coming winter to form other classes in addition to the above. Stcttement of Receipts and ExpenditlLTeJor the yea?' ending September 30th, 1904. E.;:pendit w·c. Receipts.

The sum of £5 9s. has been received from subscribers. An application to the Hospital aturday Fund was again made for a grant to the funds of the Brigade ,vithout any satisfactory result. The balance of the fund for the purchase of uniform for the Birmingham Oorps of the t. John Ambulance Brigade, inaugurated by the Ohairman (Mr. Oourtenay Lord), is £3 14s. 6d.

In presenting the twenty-fourth annual report and statement of accounts, youI' committee record with satisfaction that the work of the Oentre shows marked activity and continues steadily to increase. The' accounts show a profit on the yeu,r's working of £20 15s. 10d. , which raises the surplus to £103 0'. lId., mo t of which will be absorbed in meeting the heavy deficit on the Brigade account. Twenty-nine classes have been held-l0 more than in the previous year-of which 17 were men's first aid, 8 women's first aid, 1 men's nursing. and 3 women' nul' ing; 44.3 certificates have been issued, 88 of which were to members of the Oity Police Force. The grateful thanks of the Oentre are again most cordially tendered to the medical lecturers. The local Oentre would again remind holders of fil'st aid certificu,tes of the necessity for obtaining the nursing certificate in order to complete their efficiency in ambulance worle It is their strong desire that a J ursing Division of the brigade should be formed, and any movement amongst ladies holding the first aid and nursing certificates would be welcomed by them. T he recent explosion at Saltley Gas Works, as well as daily experiences in different parts of the town of an accidental character, demonstrate the necessity for work of

ANNUAL REPORT. T he work for the year ending 30th S~ptember, 190,*, was not commenced until January, consequently only two first aid classes were organized-Dr. Braithwaite taking the women's and Dr. T. B. Flint the men's class. The men of the L . & N. W. Railway and Midland Railway were instructed by the medical ofl]cers of the Companies . Cases of first ai<l are becoming more frequent as the population of the neighbourhood increases, bnt, as npward.· of' 1,000 111E'1l aUll women haye attended a course of lectures, the district may be considered to be well supplied "ith first aid. T he Centre has lost the valuable service of MI'. A. B . ChapmalJ, who after ten years good and highly appreciated work has resiglled the lIon . ecretaryship.

A :rNUAL BE PORT. A knowledge of first aid is now consi dered an essential portion of mining education and on condition that the Mining Lecturer organizes and supervises classes the County Educa.tion Committee make grants sufficient to defray expenses. Thanks are due to Drs. Martin, Berry, Chapman, Hutchinson, and Wolverson for their honorary services as instructors. An impoltant step has been taken during the year with a view to holding more classes an d stimulating interest in ambulance work. Last June !1. meeting presided ovcr by Mr. Atkinson, the Inspector, and to which rep1'e· sC'ntatiyes from all the collieries in the ('annock Chase Coalfield were iuvited, was held in the Science and Art Iu sti tute at Wa.lsall, when the name of the Centre was altered fro111 "Brownhill "to the" CaDnock Chase Coalfield" Centre, and officials appointed as abo,"e. Arrangemcnts wpre made to provide a trophy for competition by coll iery team. The fir t conte t was held at Heath Hayes, and the Holly Bank Colliery team is the first to have its name engraveu on the hield, Brownbills Colliery team being runners up. ,ome ten or elev en clas es are being organized this session, and a similar competition to that of last year is being arranged.

ANNUAL REPORT. For the r~ason mentio?ed in the last report, and for (\thers, some classes had to suspend thelf l a~ours thIS ypar, but other classes which were not working last year have been r esusmtated, so that the number of classes remained the same and the r esult of th~ ~ession's work was not much less satisfactory than in the previo;ls period. ,!,he competition for the Company'~ Challenge Shield, which has previously b ell held III t~e al~tum?, has, at the suggestion of the competitors, been deferred until next Sprmg.' It bemg thought tha t the teams will thereby have a better opportunity of prepanng for the cl)mpetition.

The other case was on 27th August, 1904, a boy aged nine years, fell off a log of timber into the water in a timber pond, a distance of 25 yards from the bank. Oonstable George Williams, Ro. 13, who witnessed the accident, without divesting himself of any of his uniform and at the risk of his own life, jumped into the water and swam to where the boy had fallen in, and after diving under the rafts of timber, succeeded in picking the boy up in a semi-conscious state and brought him ashore; after using artificial respiration for some time, the boy regained consciousness and was then taken home; the depth of water where the boy was rescued is from 14 to 16 feet. It is O'ratifyin a to record that the Centre takes the same keen interest in their work as they °did whe~ the Ambulance Brigade was first established here, and receives the areatest encouraO'ement from the President, ir 'William Thomas Lewis, Bart., and the Vice-Preside~t, James Hurman, Esq., J.P., everything necessary in the matter of material under the care of 'erO't. Oharles Price, the instructor, being kept at short distances about the docks a~d works, so that first aid can be quickly rendered. Practice is held once a fortnight during the winter months. The Oentre is selfsnpporting and numbers 164 members.

REPORT.

The Centre continues to make good progress. Central premises ha,re been secured, with a material station, ollice, and a larger room for lectures, all under one roof. Four cour es of leclure ' on fir~t aill have been given-viz., the usual "inter course in the 101\'n by Drs. loman and Ealalll1, at Baclshot Lea by Dr. Hine, at Hale (female) l:Jy Dr. l!:alanc1, and a new cla~s has been formed at Frensham by Dr. Robinson. The 1'e 111 t of the examinations wa most satisfactory, 47 seniors presenting themselves, and all pa 'ing; 1-1 fir ·t certificates, 21 vout:hel's, and 12 medallions being issued. This now makes a total or 36ti certificate and 135 medallions is~ued to the Centre. The town Corps hal'e had a bu y year, 79 cases being recorded as against 75 fOl' the previou~ year. The ambulance van continues to be in great demand, 37 cases being cotlveyen a ditance of 393 miles, the longest journey being from the Bourne to Roehamptoll auont 37 miles; 6 were conyeyed from the town or neicyhbourinCY Yillage to Gnilllfol'li Hospital, 12 to the Cottage Hospital, and 6 t; or frOl~ London. The eli tribution of medallions and certificates gained by the Badshot Class took place at the 'chools, and wt're presented by Dr. Hine, and those gained at Frensham were presented at an open-air display OR the lawn at H ollowdene, Frensham by Irs. lorton Latham . The pa -t year has been a memorable oue in the history of the Centre, Ur. Winslade, the HOll. ecretary, having been cho en to receive the pecial vellum Vote of Thanks from H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, Grand Prior, anti the Chapter-General of the Order of t. John of Jernsalem in England . The annual distribution of medallions and certificates gained by the tOlVn class took place at a dinner held at the Institute Hall, Dr. C. E. Tanner, chairman, Mr. E. Kempson occupying the Vice-Chair. Tho Chairman was supported by the Lord Bishop of Winchester, the Rector of Farnham aud m~ny influential townsmen, the company numbering about 80. Dr. Tanner, i~ propo mg the toast of the evening, stated that the Centre was far and away the most useful one in the town, and poke in very high terms of the voluntary work of the member. After the medallions and certificates had been presented by the President, the Bi hop of Winchester, His Lordship presented Mr. Winslade with the special vellum, which had been suitably framed, and conaratulated the Centre and Mr. Winslad~ in particular on its SU?~E'SS, stating that it had been his privilege to C?lllpa~e 111 the .last. report the l)OsltlOn of Farnham with wany other towns many tuues ItS supenor 11~ n.umbers, wealth, and position in the country, but Farnham far ex?ce.ded the maJonty for the excellent position reached by its branch of the ASSOCIatIOn, and went on to say that the success was largely due to the work of its Hon . Secretary, and he was not surprised that the authorities in London were desirous of marking his services in a most distinct manner. It was an honour to all counected with the Centre, and one he was sure Mr. W inslade would cherish with pride, ~nd be glad to remember all his life. Mr. ' Vorsam, the H on. Treasurer, in proposmg " The President,' hoped that the Bishop's presence there that eveninO' wo nl.d spur t~lem all on to make t he Centre even more prosperous. D uring th~ e'.'emng a capItal programme of music was rendered MI'. Geor O'e Smith.Wright very kllldly giving his services. ' eo

There have heen 21 clas es during the Session, being 8 for women,S first aid, and 3 nursin Cl and 13 f(Jr lllen 9 first aid , and 4 nursing. In the 21 classes there were 425 m~l;lber· be ide oth~\'s who joined for examination only, and did not attend the lectme. Of these 259 entered for examination, 250 of them being successful, 20 of the numbcr ~rainiller their medallions, ha,-ing passed as required, 3 scparate examiuatiolls. Be~des these 6 members of the Shanklin Division of the Brigade gained their mcdallion . Th~re would have been a larger number examined, but from various cau es 2 of the classes were unahle to have examinations. . !,hree of. the classes :vere held under the I sle of Wight Local Education Authority, bemg at Bmstead, ,Ylutwell, and \ Yroxall. O\\'inO'to the chancre of administration from the County Council to the Education Committee of that Oo~mcil there has been a delay in payment of the expenses of these classes, and so the 1.Jalallc~ · sheet this year compares unfayourably with those of previous years . .T~~ ambulance ~vaggon belonging t o th~ Centre wluch is in charge of the Newport DIV1s~on of t.he BrIgade, has ~Jeen out 24 tll~es during the year ending June 30th, covel'lng a distance of 358 miles, the follo\vlllg being some of the places to which it has been : Cowes, East Cowes, Freshwater, GUl'l1ard , Osborne, Marks Corner, Park~urst, Porchfield, Rowb orou~h , Ryde, Shanklin, and 'iVhippingham. The wheel litter has been used seven times. A section of the Auxiliary R oyal aval Sick Berth Reserve has been started in N ewport, and twelve members of the N ewport

This Centre continue to make steady progress, and the advantages of the knowlad ere <rained by attendance at the COtH es of' lecture in first aid auLlllursing, particularly latter, arc becoming more recognised by the public. Lectures in first aid and nursincr fot' women, and in first aid for men were "ell attended, and the number of s~cces es gained is very gratifying. Thc Executive, however, hope that more of those who complete a course, will take up the examination in future . A fully-equippcd ambulance station was organi ed for the Battle of Flo~ers and lllumillatiollS held at t. HelieI' on Thursday, 1 tit August, 1904, at whICh som e 25,000 people were present. Happily, only nine minor cases required treatment.

ANNUAL REPORT. Nine clas 'es have been hcl(l dmillg the past year, fom for women, two of which were nursing classes, and five for men. The numuer is small as compared with the preceding year, but the general progress is gratifyillg. The pupils follow up their teaching: for instance, among those who attended complete COUl'ses "'ere 25 who pa8sed the fin.;t, alld 32 the linal re- examination. The development of the work in the rural parishes continues, and Olle can hardly over estimate the value of qualified ambulance men and WOlllen in placcs at a distance from medical aiel. I n Kettering the heatl-CJ.uartel's of Lhe Amunlanee Corps are now at the fine Central Hall and buildings of the Church I nstitute, where men in uniform with appliances attend reglllarly. The -lll' ing Diyision under Lady. npt. Lane meets fortnightly at the Urban District Oonncil Ohamher for instruction and practice. T he help both of men and nUl' ing sisters is continually sought and freely given. There is no mistake as to the grateflll appreciation of ambulanc(' \\'01 k here .

112

worklJeople by the adoption of all measures for their genuine safety, and in case of accidents, for the prompt and efficient attention to their injnriE's. Large and. succe5S· ful classes have been held in connection with the l\Iidland , the L. and N.'V., and the Great Central Railways. The importance of the instruction gained ill these classes to the travelling public cannot be over estimated. Twenty-seven members of the borough police passed their examination. Alal'ge proportion of the police force are now certificate holders The annual competition for the Challenge 11ielr1 took place at the Drill Hall , the Newarke, on 20th February, 1904. The Shield, a valuable and handsome trophy, is held by the winners for twelve months, and in addition substantial prize are awarded to m embers of teams gaining first and second places. Th e compE'tition \las inaugurated with the idea of promoting and stimulating a heaithy rivalry between the different divisions of the St. John Ambulan ce Brigade.

pre en ted for examination, and 31 students were successful in obtaining' firi\t aid certificate. The nursing class was held by penni 'sion of the comm~ttee in con,nection wlth the Y oung \Vomen 's Ohri tian A sociation, Dr. Phelps agam conductmg the cla s. The number of students under instruction was 21; 7 were presented for examination, and all pa sed. It will be ob el'yed that the number of tudcllts pre ented for examination in both cla. ses is comparati\'ely small, bu~ this is parti.a~ly accounted for by some having left the town, and other not malung the :equ.l~lte number of attendances to qualify for examination. In addition to the e exununatlOns, a re-examination in first aid was held in :hI arch; 13 candidates were pre'3ented and 1:2 pa ed. The number of certificates earned i, in exce of the previous U months, and it is gratifying to know that the intere t taken in first aid to the injured is still increasing. ew enthusia m has been created by the organisation of an ambulance competition for teams from Oentre or detached cIa ses imm clia,te to L oughborough, for a magnificent silver hield, beautifully in cribed, pre 'ented to the association hy \ V. B. Du Pre, E q., J.P., and much appreciation and our most ~inc re thanh are felt for hi' kind genero ity in presenting this valuable trophy to the Centre. The fir t competition \Va held in the TOWll Hall, L oughhorough, by kind permission of His \Vorship the Mayor (Alderman T. Mayo), on the 10th February last. Teams from nI ountsorrel, hep hed, Ooalville, and L oughborough competed, and resulted in the shield being won by the 1\lidland Railway team, Coalville. The L oughhuJ'ou<fh team was awarded second place. The medallion and certificate earned durin ... the pl'eyious year by the Loughborough classes were pre ented by his 'Worship the Mayur at the close of the competition. Th e thank of the Oommittee are heartily r nder(;d to the th e medical staff, Drs. Phelps and Pike, and to the instructor, 1\11'. Ern(;st 'uuk, " ho have kindly placed their en>ice at the disposal of the Centre, and the Sllccess of the work is largely due to the time and energy deyotcd hy them to it. The ('ul11mittee have also to thank all those who by financial assistance havc enabled them again to (-any out their work, and they hope that their upport ,yill be granted them in the coming year. The second annual report of the Aml)ulance Oorps i· as follows : -\V (;' are plea ed to be able to report an increa 'eel membcl'tihip in spite of variolls r 'mo, ah Members how by their con tant u'e of the ambulance rOom how they appreciate the committee's generosity in pro\'iding them with a room for practice and recreation. Our equipment ha again beenincrea ed through the instrumentality of Dr. Plwl, and to him we tender our thanks. Public duty htl been performed on severnl occasions; al the races and at the sports-two days-and members have rendered effectual individual service un many occasions. The stretcher has been rccluisitionecl for the removal of sick persons several time . ome outdoor practice have been held, but it i' regretted that some member do not attend the practices in the summer months a much as would he d esired. At the competition our team did all that could be desired of them, hut were placed econd. till it is thought the competition had the effect of creating more interest in ambulance work. The annual outing wa held on 25th .Tune, about 30 driving to pring Hill Farm, where a most enjoyable time wa!;;;pent. In conclu.'ion, our be t thanks are due to the committee for the interest they hu,ye taken in the welfare of the Oorps and fir t aid work generally.

There are also special practises held for those who enter mto competitive work, antI there are now a number of squads prepared for entering the various competitions that are held annually by the various Corps and Divisions throughout the district. The lady nursing sisters are still indefatigabl e in their attendance at practices, WhICh are h eld on Wednesday evenings, and instruction is given in that great and noble art of t ending to the sick and suffering. The St. John Ambulance movement in N elson has prospered and flourished now for over sixteen years, and is r egarded as an institution of absolutely necessity to the borough. The work entail ed is carried on by the voluntary services of the members who are organized by a Centre Committee, elected by the members at the annual meeting, and " 'ho by their united effort, and the assistance of the public, have succeeded in making our local branch one that is honoured and esteemed by all. Justification for the continuation of this movement is shown by the work done by the ambulance carriage, this vehicle has for the pa t twelve months, been used for th e conveyance of the sick and the removal of accident case, on an average, twice a week. N umerons cases of a minor nature are treated daily by one oJ' another of our students. In conclusion, the Committee beg to extend to all who hnve in any way assisted, either by contribution or other" ise, its most sincere antI cordial thanks.

It is with plen,sure thl1t the committee present their twentieth annual report We regret to have to record the death of Sir Thomas alt, Vice-President of our ~ent~'e, whose support, as Chairm:1n of the North tafford Railway, was of mestlmalle value, and greatly contributed to sustain and increase the interest feltJ in K

126

ambulance work throughout the district. His generou and practical aid to this, as also to most of the other important efforts being made in the county for ~he welfare of all classes, ha always been much appl'ecia,tecl, and will now be sor~ly nussed. We also have to place on record our los in the death of :Mr. M. J . QUlrk, of Fenton, and of 1'Ir. VV. Downes, M .B . , of Kid gTOye. ~lr. Quirk wa a much yalued member of the committee, and 1\11'. Downes was an able in trllctor for many y~:1l'. The zeal of those organi ing and instructing our "uriou cla~ses has been. rCpal(~ !)y lar!{e and satisfactory attendance. A small decrea e of 16 111 the first n.ld cer~Ificat.cs. IS more than balanced by the increase in the students who were succes~ful 111 ga111mg medallions, the number of medallions being 76, which shows [l.n ll1crea 'e of 3·1. The local newspapers frequently report cuses where efficient first aiel has b en rendered by our students. At collieries an~l large. engi~eerin&, and .0~lIe~' works the value of ambulance knowledge is proyed 111 clealmg wIth mmor lllJune '. perh~ps every week. And in some of these case, tluite apart from th~ conslder:Lhon of more serious ones the undoubted result has been that the bread wmner ha ' "been enabled to keep on f~llowing his employment, and 'upporting thosc dependen.t upon his earnings. The Oounty Oouncil continue their kind grant, bymeal1s of wIuch the committee of the Oentre is enabled to hold mallY cIa e and meet the want of many places which would otherwise remain without provision. L est any mi ,take hould arise, we desire to repeat once more, that the ahle service of the medi(;ultaff are entirely gratuitous. ' Ve beg all who have 0 kindly lectured to accept. our heal't,Y thanks. .r ot only to them do we feel ind bted, but to the cla, ,' ecretanes and th '11' assistants; also to many owners and authorities who haye kindly granted th u e .of rooms; the auditor, the minuting clerk, and the torekeeper are once more heartily thanked. The amount of work which fall to the hon. ·ecretn.ry, and the nclmiral,le way in which it is performed, only few people have an opportunity uf kIlO\yin!j; l.ut those few bear emphatic testimony. And a.gain the committee eX]Jre~, their ell 'P gratitude to Mr. 'yclney W. Mallcin, feeling how mllch of the progre•. achieved is owing to his energy and organi ing powers. Many meeting' ll:l\'e bcul1 held in North Staffordshire during the session for the public di tribution of medallions and certificates, particularly fl.t Newcastle, Hilc1erstonc, Hanley, and Bic1clulph.

The bala,llee sheet has been audited as usual by Capta,in ~raile j it ':'ill be seen that the Centre is perfectly solvent, though our balance 1Il hand IS only £26 16s. 3.~d, as again. t £40 6s. 2~d. last year (this is maillly due to the fewer number attending clase , and to the expense of the East Kent Ambulance COlli petition which cost the Centre £12 18s. as against £1 s. 11 e1. last year). .r ~ ~houl~ be pointed out that the District Nurse FUllu, and the Towll Ambulance D lvls:on :,,111 need financial help during the coming year. It 18 with great regret that we have to reconl the depl1,rture from the tOWll of Dr. Courtney, who for the past eight y ears haR laboUl'eu zealou ly for the Centre both as L~ctur~r and as an Officer to the Brigade; our very gra,teful thanks are tendered to him with best wishes for his future happiness and su(;eess.

At the examinations held on behalf of the Central Executive 407 students passed the first examination 210 the first re-examination, and 139 the second or final re-examination. These fi~ures added to those of previou years, make a total of 13,819 passes since the fonllatio~ oftLe Centre, Although the above is a satisfactory record of work done durin a the past year the Committee note with regret that, both as regards the number of classes held and the me?-1~ership of the classes, the figures show.R. falling off as compared with recent yeal'S. Tius IS doubtless dne to the depressed condItion of trade, which has resulted in fewer classes. being h eld in CO!lllection with the large works in the neighbourhood. The CommIttee would agal\1 urge upon all employers of labour the desirability of encouraging the formation of first aid classes amongst their employees. The following members of the medical profession have kindly acted as lecturers I~

Ability to render first aid is undoubtedly an import..'tnt branch of k.nowledge. chool , above all, afford the best opportunity, at the age when impre::.. ~lOns al'{~ most deeply made, for learning what to do in cases of accident. As un mducement, the fee for school pupils ha,s been r educed to fiye shilling for a cour e of lecture on first aid, anda certiti ca.te is uwa.rded on pa sing an examination. . T~le Oouncil would u1so urge the holding of cIa ses in connection with mechanics' lllstltutes, schools of mine, technical colleges, Au tra1ian natives' association, young men's and women's associutions, girl's friendly societies, and kindred u" ociations that afford special facilities for orga.ni ing and holding cla es; also in connection with manufacturing companie .

Thi' examination acts as a, stimulus to the acquirement of n, more thorough knowleclge of how to render first aid to the injured as evidenced by the high percentn,ge of l1utrks ohtained and the excellence of the practicn,l work. The exn,mination thi" yen.r was held, l)y permis ion of his ' Vor-ship the Lord Mayor, in the ~I ,I bourne Town Hall on fiftturday, March :l6th, 1904.

In ol'del' that certificated memher:maYJ'l:mn.in 111 touch WIth the AssocmtlOn, and keep up the knowledge aC(luirecl so a: to be ready to render first aid efficiently, the Council a·r1tin desire to impress on all hOll.

St. John A mlndwlCe Association.

ANi'i'UAL REPORT. The Oouncil of the \Yest Am,tralitLll Oentre of the 'to .John Ambulance Association have much pleasure in pre::;enting their annual report to members ,mel subscribers for the year ending Ja,lluary :2 - th, 1901. Owing to the resigl1ation of our ecretary, the ,york of the Oentre 'ms not commenced until ~In.y of In.·t year thereby much vt.luable time was lost. H,)we"el', the work of the Oentre has been of <1, most useful kind, having embraced the subur1xUl and country fire brigade::;, the police, and large work hops of the city. The attention of this Centre W,\- again devoted to the formation of a branch of the Ambubnce Brigade, and we hope tha,t the initial portion of the work is now complete, and that the brigt1.de will be in existence in a few weeks. 'Ve haye already had trained lllen at the Hoytll _\.gricultural Show, where 4 out of 6 ca eS were treateLl by the 1n'igac1e, and at future mee meetings the brigade will be pres en t. DurinO' the time at the di posal of the Council the following classe' Were held and conducte"'d from the Oentre :-:2IIetter--llokins, GOYernment Prilltinb \York". ;)[etropolitan Fire Brigade, ordinary ::mcl special class :Fremantle t\llLl .'uhiaco :Fire Brigades, police and Oatholic youn ,; men, Fremantle, one ladie,; und one IlUl':;in 6 class, whilst at Boulder, under the local secretary, we had three cla~,.,(?:,. Tht: following number of students "'ere lectured to, allli the result is that we ha \"l,; li5 certificates and 13 medallions to preeut. O\l-ing to n. ,'hol'tage of tStol'e';, se\t~l'ttl classes have had to be held o,'er until thitS year :-Pel'th: . 'tuc1t;nb h:cturecl to, 10~ ; presented for examinUotion, 77 ; pa ed, 45. Bouldcr: 'tudent:;, 33 ; stice ·,.;",ful n. To encourage the work, and at the ame time make the numbel' of trained pupils as widely operative us po 'sihle, the Council decided to pn;sent annually fonr medals for competition among·t the Yt1l'iouti fire 1Jl'igltcle' of thl! ~ttl.te, the til':;t COIHpetition taking place at Geraldtou at Easter. ..:\.n endt:tlyuur Wtl· again llltl. II;; to connect the ambulance corps now controlled by the Railway Del'artment, antI "anou-points(were brought forward for decision by the Head Oentre. \Ye hope it wIll l'e possible for this efficient bodyof men to be brought under the control of the ,'to J uhn Ambulance Association at an early date. - \\Te again regret the little assistance giyen u hy the general pu1Jlic, and tru"t that the competition to be held at Ea tel' will be tht: means uf aCtluaintin!5 the" ·neral public with the good objects of this ~~ ociation, and thereby enli",t the ;;,rml'tlthy and practical aid of those for the ~~llevlation of \l'hose suffering in time of injury tlte Association exists. During the past year the folluwing Cll"e' hlt"e been treated hy the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, who control the ambulance ntn YolunbU'y, and hy the police at Roe-street, who also keep a \I'ell equipped litter. We understand that Perth i the only city in the Oommonwealth \I'here the :street fire alarms are allowed to be used in ca es of accident. Each hoe-cart and ste:uner being fully equipped with all nece::;sary first aid appliance'. Case' treated 11y brigade, 67; police, 26. Your Oouncil intend introducing to the YtU'ious head masters of schools the objects of the A sociation, ::md enlist their help ( uhject to the approval of the Government) so that cla ses may be formed throughout the ~ttlte (If of the senior scholars. Eyery scholar attending school should be tn,ught firsb aid treatment, and we feel that by imparting this knowledge many ,aluable lin:s may be sayed. The Oouncil entered upon its year with a credit balance of £60 9s. 4d. but owing to the few months in which classes could be held our retul'US are not l1.S largeas might be. Still, with a credit balance of £{4 17 . 10d. and £1 8s. d. ca 'h in hand, assets in stores to the yalue of £70, shows that the Oouncil have made good use of the little time at their disposal. During the last few weeks, at the request of the Metropolitan and uburban R ace Olubs, the chairman and secretary have yisited the yarious courses with a view of reporting on any requirements that may be needed to properly equip each with medical and surgical appliances. If the uggestions proposed are carried outwhich, we feel confident, will be-there will be no better prO\'ision made for attending any accident that may unfortunately occur than in this State. During the twelve years of the Association's existence in 'Vestern Australia we have lectured to 742 students (male and female) and issued 492 certificates. There are at present in Perth 20 members of the police force who have pa sed the necessary examination in rendering first aid. These include 2 officers, 3 non-commissioned officers, and 15 constables. Another class is being formed, and no doubt during the present year the majority of the police in Perth will have qualified in this

work. Early in the year the Oommissioner of Police was good enough to provide a hand ambulance wagon, thoroughly equipped \vith all the latest appliance, so that the effectiveness of this most important branch of police work has been greatly improved. During the year first aid has been rendered in 31 serious cases. These include broken thighs, legs, dislocation, &c. In most of these cases the patients were conveyed to hospital for further treatment. In addition to the above, numerous cases of a less serious nature were attended to. The number of cases attended to would haye been much greater were it not that the services of the fire brigade have been so often requisitioned. Possessing, as they do, a horse wagon with all the latest improvements, their ambulance can be on the scene of an accident Yery promptly. The uperintendent, Mr. Lapsley, very kindly placed the services of his men and ~1.mbulance at the disposal of the public in all cases of accidents, and the benefits resulting therefrom, both to the police and general public, cannot be overestimated.

Notable events have transpired during the past year, some of which bave tended to make the term 1lI1ller review the most uuiqne ill the histOly of the Centre. Prominent, ,y tt the presentation of an illuminated address to the Earl of Ranfnrly on the 22nd April, 1904, by the Mayor of vVellington. The address, which was signed on behalf of the Centres at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington, was an cxcellrnt specimen of artistic work . In retul'lling thanks, Lord Ranfurly gave an interesting historical sketch of the rise of the Order of 't. John of Jerusalem and aid that he would always take the greatest interest in its principal Department; the St. John Ambulance Association. Another feature of special importance during the year was the organisation of a bazaar, wbich " 'as opened by Lady Plunket, and resulted in the sum of £909 ] 7s. 2d. being netted in aid of the fund for nursina' the poor of W ellington by skilled St. John Ambulance district nurses. The succ~osful ISsue of the undlrtaking was largely attributable to Mrs. S. A. Rhodes (President of the St. John Ambulance Nursing Guilu), who was untiring in her efforts to promote the aim of the Committee by helping to secure large attendances of the general public, and inducing her personal fril'nds to liberally patronise the various stalls at the bazaar. The Committee has to nel,101'e the death of Mr. G. H. Bethune, who for

St. J ohn Ambulance Association.

many years took au active interest in the affairs of the Centre, and also record with regret the death of Mr. C. n. I zard . Both gentlemen noted the material mterests of the Centre which has benefitted by their bequests. H.E. The Governor, L ord Plunket, has accepted the Presidency of the Wellington Centre, rendered vaca1lt by the retirement of Lord Ranfllrly. The formatiou of classes for instruction in first aid, and home nursing during the year numbereu 21, of which 12 were for mcn and 9 for women, and the Committetl is again under grateful obligation to membel's of the medical profession for gratuitous services. I n terms of the regulations, Dr . H . D. PeITY and M. , Yo Ross have been recommended for life membership. D emands for. the HOlse Ambulance Transport Service have been frequent, as well as for the RerVlCes of the professional nurse engaged to minister to the sick poor. Although the expenditure in connection with the Centre has been heavy, it will 11e seen that the assets approximate two thousand pounds (£2,000) .

Th e President and 'ommittee have much pleasnre in announcing that two divifiions of men o f the t.

CC Th ere is one statement in the opening paragraph of the report w)1ich .was read by Mr. Justice Crowe, which I regret t? say is .ha,rdly cO~Tect. 1t IS saId that I shonlo. be acquainted with the. work of ~hls As~oclabon dUllng th e past year by the fact of my having been Yery kmdly furmshed WIth a copy of the rep?rt. . I reg.ret to sa.y that until the moment of entering this hall I have not had tllDe m ,yhlCh. t(} really peruse the repo rt. But, on th~ whole.' I am rather .pleased at not havll1g reao. it, for it has enabled me to come mto thIS great hall w?th a greater amount of pleasureabl~ surprise at see~ng it so well fil.1ed, and fil~eo. ,,?th.a num bel'. o~ peoJ?~e who are endently engaged m so many van~d .0cc~patIOn~ III lIfe. I ne' e1 aptlCIpated that I should have the. PI.~<ls~lfe of .dI~tnbl1tll1g frIzes t? so many ladles of India who have taken up tIns Fll'st AId work. Nor, agam, had I any knowled ere whatsoeyer that such a great number of the Police of the City of Bombay haJ. in former years qualified themselves and obtain~d certificates. When I see that large body of mell at the back .of t.he hall,. ~ thll1k v:e may fee~ proud. tllat the police have paid so much attentIOn III aC'IUll'lng profiCIency III th~s very Import~llt work. And I only regret not to have seen any come forward thIS year. to recelva certificate, because I should bave thought that " 'hen so many had qualIfied tben~ selvcs in the pn t, the recruit coming after them ,yould have also take~ up t.hlS branch of work, which must at times be of such enormou.s ~lse wben dlsc~arglDg their duties throughout the city. As the report tells us, thIS IS a matter whlC~ ~as hall warm eI!couracrement from H.R.H. the Dllkeof Connanght, who, when presIdll1g on a similar occasion in this hall, spoke words of a hopeful nature abont this great Association and according to the ficrures that have been read to us we know th at tho~e word~ of prophecy of his hav~ been fuHill ed by .results, as the ·work of this Association is growing and incrE'asillg throughout I ndIa. And no .wor~ ought to appeal 1110re ",al1nly to the he~rt of any man or ,,:oman. Il.lness m l?fe can ~o a certain extent be uuarded aeramst, but sudden arCldents whIch may mcapaCltate any (ue of u frombthe perfo;'lllallce of our duty, an~l, still wor e, depri,e us of our Ii H'S, are too often reClining, and COllle "'ith fnghtfuI suddenness. Therefore it i well that we can look for snrcour in the. e moments of distress to anyone of our tellow citizen to ('ive us first aid and save our lives, 01', at all eYents, perform SOlilC simple operatiollbwhich may prevent a long and serio.us.illness. I have seen, not nirectly counected with the t. John Amblllance AssoClatIon perhaps, the good of ambulance work in Queenslaml-in Brisbane. I used to attend the annual meetings of the ambulance corps there, as I considered . it met ~ ,,:ant which was universally felt throughout thc city, and I prentIDe t~1JS A?soClat:on l1 ere, really carries 011 the duties and work of wllat I may call a penpatetIc hospItal. "hatwe want is a sufficient number of people to bE'come proficient in the various branches of first aid, so as to ensure some one being on the spot to render a~sistance to any ol~e meetina with an accident and then the first work of the hospItal, so to speak, IS performed on the spot. And I am prouo. to think that Lady Lamington her~elf qualified when in Brisbane in 'First .A id.' I llad ~he ple~sl1re the? of presentl~1g her with the certificate, and a] 0 with the first pnze, havlllg obtallled that pllze above all others in the acquisition of that certificate .. I think that show~ we. al:e both of us interested in the work of the AssociatJOn. I do not thlllk It IS necessary for me to say anything more than to express the hope that there ,,·ill be a greater number of people year by year receiving certificates at the hands.of.whoever may have the privilege of bestowing them, and I believe that the "'ork willlllcrease, particularly when you have such an energetic Hon. Secretary as 1\11'. L~ll1~L 'When a man is willing to give so mllch devotion and energy to the "' ork It IS bound ~o sncceed, and I think that the encol1l'agement given by those pr~sent here thIS evening, and seein a how lllany haye interested themselves, not only III the past, but also thos'3 who ha;e come up and received certificates, is the best augury for the future developl1lent of the work of the Associat.ion . Tho honorary life membership of the Association has been conferred. by the Central Executive Committee upon Dr. B. H. N'anavatty, F.R.C.S . , Edm., and upon Dr. K. N. Gokbale, L.lIL & s.: for valuable services r endered to the Bombay Centre. The cordial thanks of the Committee are again dne to the honorary medical staff who devote so much of their valuable time to the work of the Centre, both as lecturers and examiners.

JabaZjllll', Idh Octobel', 190,1. ANNUAL REPORT. The t. John Ambulance A5sociatioll was started at Jabalpur in July, 1903, as the Oen tre for the Central Provinces, al1d a Oommittee \\'as formed, consisting of; The Hall. ~Ir. Hewett, Ohief 'olllllli siOller, Central Provinces, the Ri.ght Rev. the Lord Di hop of Xngpur, .fiI. Fox'trang\yay , Oommissioner, Lt. -OoL Johnston, R.A . :lLC., P.~I.O., Allahabad and ~ eJbudd a District, Lt. -Col. Pelham Burn, Officer Comdg., Oaptain J. Raper, G.LP. Ry. YoL, Rev. B.

Deightoll, Di trict llperintendent Police, R. l\IcGa"in Spence, uperintenclent, Goyernment Oollege, .fiIajor lcK. ·Williams, R.A.l\I.C., as Honorary 'ecre tary, Raghunath Rao Aba a.bib, Rao Bahadur Behari Lall Kazanchi, MUIlShi Mohammeden Hoain. The following \'ollln tee red as the Metlical 'taff; Lt. Col. -Quayle, I. M.S., Civil Surg. Major Faichnie, n.A.~r.c., Major l\lcK. ·W illiams, R.A.l\1.C., Lt. -Col. P. Oullen, lIl.D., I.~r. . . , retired, and Mi s Lungley, M.D . It is not known if bjor William5, who \\'a Hon. ecretary, submitted any report for the year 1902-3, hut from record it appears that four first aid and one nursing classes \\'ere heltl ill July, Augu ' t, and eptember, 1903, at which forty-nine candidate attended and obtained certificate, and or these nine ladies attended a nnrsing cla5s and obtained certificate. Then the uncertainties of an official station commenced . The Hon . .fill'. He\yett, Ohief Commissioner, went on leave, and was tran ferred to another appointment, being sncceeded by the Hon. Mr. LeI}'. The OOlllmissioner, MI'. IV. Fox Strang\\'ays, went on lea yeo L t . -OoL J ohnstoD, P. M. 0 . , 'was transferred, Lt.- Ool. Pelham Burn went on lea,-e. Mr. McGavin Spence went on leave, and Miss L ungl ey also . And later on Major vVilliams was suddenly transferred to England, and had not time to make oyer charge of the ambulance records properly to anyone, but left them with L t. Oonnil1gham, of the 33rd Punjabis, instead of with one of the members of the committee. L t. Oonningham, having no knowledge of ambulance work, and the members being ignorant of wlul.t had been done, the Centre virtually fell in abeyance, until Lt . -Co l. Yate, the Organising Commissioner, wrote to inquire what \,as being done . Then on the 27th August, 1904, a committee wa as embled of such members as remained. Dr. Cullen was elected H on . Secretary, and immediate steps were taken to revive the work of the Association, the result at present being that there are foUl' classes under instruction . T here is always a difficulty with the rail way staffs that their d u ties prevent them attending lectures r egularly, and a t present th ere are only three surgeon lect urers. Some lad ies h ave expressed a wish to attend a class, but h a ve to wait for a lecturer. N agpur h aving started a bran ch of the Association, t h e Ohief Oommissioner decided that as N agpur!is the h ea.d -q narters of the admini trat ion it ought to be the Oentre of the Association for the Oentral P rovinces; the tran sfer has been made, and J abalpur is n ow onl y a branch, and i t is presumed that the H on. the Ohief Oommissioner and the

170

L ord Bishop will tran fer their mem bel'<:>hip to that station. T here is nothing to show whether :JIajol' 'Williams submitted any Duancial statement last year, but the above abstract gives the state of the funu a ' he left them. T he G. 1. P . Railway class of last year, lectured to by :Major Fl'aichnie, and examined by Major Williams, diclremarkably well in the competition for the Railway hield, won it, and secmed determined to make a goot! fight to retain it at the forthcoming competition in .March next. It is hoped that the Christ 'chool cadets will make a good attempt to win the Association "' hielcl.

Arrangements have also been made for a seventh class consisting elltirely of natives. With a view to the formation of a Native Volunteer Am bulanee Reserve, II. H. The Mil' of Khairpur has decided to start first aid in tmction among his troops and in his I ndustrial School. Sardar Muhammad Yakub, C.LE., \\ azir of the Khairpur State, is acti vely interesting himself in the matter. With the Rail way and Police it has not been possible to make any progress dmillg the year. I t is hoped that dUl'ing the coming year the difficulties hitherto met with will be removed and progress made in those departments. I n the D istricts the Oollector have promised their assistance, and some progress may shortly be anticipated there also.

ANNUAL REPORT. '1'be introduction of the t. John Amunlance Association into the Orange River Oolony dates back a number of years, hut although occasional classes were held in Bloemfontein atHl proyiucial towns, no organi ed scheme was set on foot for the sy.tcmatic training of the inhabitants of the varions tOWJlS and villages throughout the olony until illarch, 190,1" when the A.ssociation, realizing the importance of a lmowledge of first aiel to tlte injured, more especially ill the ont districts where a medical man is uot alway immediately available, resolved on forming a Oentre for the pHrpo.'e of Ol'gllllizillg classes in all jlart~ of the Oolony where the size of the place warranted the forlllation of such .

St. John A rnbulance Brigade.

Report of the Chief Commissioner of the St. cJoh,n Ambulance 13rigade for the year 1904-190@. BRIGADE HEAD-QUARTER', ST. JOH

's GATE, October, 1904.

It CONSID~RABLE. ad.vance both in numbers and efficiency has been made the BrIgade wIthIn the past twelve months. The new District, No. VII., comprising 'Vales, Shropshire, Herefordshire, ano. Ionmouthshire, has alr~ady con~ribute~ nin~ Divisions, with every probability of a further Increase In the ImmedIate future. All the other Districts have shown renewed ~cti.vity, and as. the ,,:astage has not been so great as usual th~ n.et gam In numbers IS consIderable. The interest taken by the. publIc In ambulance. work ~as been shown by the readiness with whIch calls for financIal assIstance has been met. At Accrinaton a ~ery fine drill h~ll .has been erected by local subscription. Otber dnll halls are bUIldIng. In some towns prominent citizens have generously promised annual subscriptions to defray necessary expen es and as all money raised is expended locally the townspeople reap th~ be.n~~t not only. of t?e first aid assistance rendered by members of the DIVIsIons, but ltk.ewise of the money r~ised by subscriptioll. .The duty done In the ~tree~s and publIc open spaces in various localities wIll be found fully detaIled In the Report of the Deputy Commissioner of th.e Dist~icts in which such duty was performed. In each case the publIc reqUIremen.ts were fully met, and a large number of casualities of a more or less senou.s nature ~rea~ed, o.r conveyed to hospital or to their own . h~mes .. The Increase In InvalId transport, in connection with provIncIal umts, has been met by the purchase of ambulance waO'ons by qorps and pivis.ions, and by the appointment of men of the Brigade spe?Ially for I.nvahd transport duty. There is every reason to be~Iev~ th~t thIS new departure will meet all present requirements in thIS dIrectIOn. Hastings, ~exhill, Bristol, Towcester, York, Sunderland, Newcastle, Preston, Acr;rmgton.bave been visited. At TO'rvcester (No. III. District), a camp of Ins.tructIOn was held on gro~nd very kindly lent for the purpose by SIr Thomas H.esketh. . It. was a success in every way, a.nd ~ell supp~rted by BrIg~de. umts In the District. A camp was hkewI~e . held In No. V. Dlstnct. under the supervision of Deputy ~omm~s~lOner Wardell, and met WIth equal success. In both instances III addItIOn to th~ usual ca.mp routine a considerable amount of time was devoted to first aId to the Injured in the field, and removal by stretchers ~nd am?ul~nce wagon to field hospitals. The holding of camps of InstructIOn IS encouraged, a~d the:y are universally popular among the men, b~t the ~ant of S?ffiClent leIsure and the necessary expense in connectIOn WIth spendIng a week under canvas necessarily militates In

aO'ainst any very large percentage of officers and men availing themselves of these opportunities for special instruction. . The District Ohief Surgeons report favourably of the first aId knowledO'e exhibited by the men in their respective Districts, and the annual r~·examination of members has been satisfactory. The District Inspections held by the Deputy Commissioners have been well attended and favourably reported on by them. The occasion for a general assembly of Oorps and Divisions is almost invariably popular,. as may be recognized by the large number that attend. To quote one instance, over 1,000 paraded when Major-General Baden Powell opened the new Drill Hall at A~crington ~ J O. IV. District) . The competitions for the vanous trophIes open to all DIstncts of the Briaade continue to excite keen interest. The Dewar Shield was won by the Birminobam Corps, the Symolls Eccles Cup by the Metropolitan Oorps, and thbe A rgenta Cup, open to teams from Districts IV., V., ano. Yl., by the Preston Oorps. The Tunstall Iemorial Shield was competed for by teams from Di tricts IV. and Y., and was won by that from Kendal j Nelson being second. In addition to these there are numerous trophies, which are competed for by teams selected from within the district to which they belong. Th ~ following appointments in the Brigade have been sanctioned by His Royal Highness the Prince of "alE's, Grand Prior of the Order. :Major G. Lane Mullins, M.D., :M.A., Oommissioner for the Australian ommonwealth. Dr. J. ~'. Griffiths, Deputy Oommissioner, No. II. District. Lieut.-Col. G. F. Mc'Villiams, J'\J.B., Assistant Oommissioner, \Yest Australia District. Dr. C. B. Oourtney, Assistant Commissioner, (Acting,) No. II. District. Lt.-Col. Edward Oureton, V.D., J'\I.D., J.P., Assistant Oommissioner, No. VII. District. The Oommissioner for Special Services* informs me that the departments under his immediate charge are making satisfactory progress. The Branches of the Brigade in dominions beyond the SEas are arowinO' in strength, and there art) indications that in course of time ~thers ~vill be formed at new centres. The Branch in Australia has been placed unde!' the local charge of a Oommissioner for the Oommonwealth, Major G. L. Mullins, under whom the N.S. '\Vales District is controlled by a Deputy Oommissioner, and the newly-formed 'Vest Australia District is in charge of aB Assistant Oommissioner. A considerable increase of the strength of the Brigade in Australia may be confidently expected during the coming year. The New Zealand Branch, in charge of an Assistant Oommissioner, is making very rapid progress. In 'outh Africa, the Orange River Oolony District is in charge of Oaptain G. H. Goddard, R.A.M.O., who has been nominated for appointment as Assistant Commissioner, with head-quarters at

St. John Ambulance BTigade.

Bloemfontein, where a Oorps has lately been formed; other units are also being formed in various parts of the Oolouy. In Oape Oolony only one unit has been actually form ed, at East London, but it is expected that others will be shortly raised. In India, two Ambulance Divisions and a Nursing Division have been formed in Bombay (Town), ana a Division is being formed in the Khaipur tate. No reports have been recorded as to the present state of Divisions at Kingston and Barbadoes (West Indies). The Bearer Oompanies (St. J Ob11 Ambulance Brigade), organized for employment in Great Britain as Bearer Oompanies of' the Royal Army Medical Oorps in case of national emergency, have fully maintained their numbers and efficiency. A company (Bolton), B (Preston), 0 (Sheffield), D (Oldham), F (Bristol), aud G company (Leeds), attended special camps at military ho~pitals for instruction in nursing and camp duties, and were very favourably reported on by the Army Medical Officers in charge. Since the date of the last Annual Report two n ew companies have been formed, H (Brighouse and district) and I ( hipl ey and district). All the 8 companies have been inspected by the Principal Medical Officer of the military district in which they are severally situated, and the report in each case has heen highly satisfactory. It is very gratifying that most of the Oompanies are now under th command of officers (in all cases medical officers of the BriO'ade) who have been approved and duly regi. tered at the 'Val' O(fjc~ for employment as officers of the Bearer Oompanie in case of mobilization. Total strenuth of Bearer Oompanies, 9 officers and 464 rank and file. b The .Auxiliary R.N ..Si~k Bprth R eserve (. 't. J.A. Brigade) gradually grows III numbers, but It IS to be regretted that the O'reat advantaO'es of the se:vice and th~ very liberal treatment accorded by the Admir~ty to reserVIsts who avaIl themselves of the various courses of instruction specially provi~ed for them, do not induce more men to enrol. Up t~ the present time 268 men have joined the reserve, of whom 46 have attended the Advanced First Aiel and Nursing courses, 30 have been through a 7 days' course of trainil1O' in naval hospitals aBd 28 have had a week's training on boanl ~en of war at sea.'

11l accordance with your in tJ'uction , I have the honour to submit the RepOl t of the state and conuition of :To . I District. The toial strength cOl1lpareu with last year hows a decrease of 79 members. (51 All11mlallcc and 2 Nursing). This i owing to it being more generally lecogUlzcd that it is 1l0~ cle~il'able to continuc to carry non-etticients 011 the strength of a Division aftcr all eflorts to induce them to comply \",itb the regulations have failed. Ouc Division, "'0 . 34, has been di banued o\ying to decrease of membersl:il? ~nd ottel' cau eo' , the few remaining llIembcr', ho\\"eye1', transferrcd to another Dn'1SIJn , aud wcre uot th erefore lost to the District. A perllsal of the Duty Heport will show that tbe performance of Public Dnty has been well maintained. The Annual 11l~pection ,,-as, by kind permission of the Constable and C.hief Governor of ihe Towcr of London, held in the Tower Moat on 2nd July. EIght hundred aUl1 two of all ranks were on parade, and the result sho\yed a marked increase in general cfliciency. . The Cyclist Division, under 1 t Officer (now Superintendent) VIlven, \yon the " Yll10IlS Eccles" Challenge Cup. The" Efficipncy "Cup was WOI1 by the South Metropolitan Gas Compa:1Y Division, under Sergeant Keyse; aud the G. W.R. (PadJillgton) Division, undcr Oorporal Furber, won the "Massey-Mainwaring" Challenge Cup and" Osborn " Challengc Shield . The uperintendellt of tores, 1\11'. . 13. Piers, who continue to carry out the dnties of hi . office in his Llsnal self-denying and masterly manner, reports tbat the stores and eq uipm ent of the Di, trict are in good serviceable condition . Thanks are nue to the storemen actinO' nnder his uirection for the efficient manner in which they have carried out their volnntary duties on all occasions of pub1ic duty. I would specially mention Corpl. H. Bennett, of No.9 Division, who devotes almost weekly much time to the work of this department. It is a sourt:e of mnch satisfaction that upt. W. J. H. Pontin has accepted the appoiutment of District Superintendent Secretary. He has acted in this capa.city for tbe past tlll'ee years, and the manner in which he has carried out his self-Imposed dnties during that period are deserving of much praise.

T he Ambulance Station at the Royal Agricultural Society of England's show yard, Park Royal, was again placed in charge of the District. The station was open day and night during the continuation of the Society's show. The follo"'ing is an extract from a letter receiyed from the Society's secretary : " That the best thanks of the Society are due, and are hereby tendereu, to the "St. John Ambulance Association for the eflicieucy of the ambulance arrancre" meuts in the show yard during the Society's show at Patk Royal, hcld from 21::.t " to 25th June, 1904." The thanks of the District are due to the Rey. Canon Haig-Brown, l\In tel' of the Charterhouse, for his continuetl. kindness in granting the use of the Preacher's and Master's Courts for <-lrill.

The attendance at drill bas been satisfactory. Duty has been undertaken on all public occasions, and at Earl's Court Exhibition, while special attention has been paid to cycle race and athletic meetings at the Richmond and Putney tracks. The Division again had the honour of representing the Metropolitan Corps in the final competition for the Dllwar Shield, but was unfortunately defeated by the narrow margin of 7 points. Being thus placed second, they became holders of the SymonsEccles Oup for the ensuing year. The members have to regret the loss of their former Superintendent by the appointment of Mr. Pontin to the District Staff, and desire to place on record their appreciation of ~his indefatigable services on behalf of the Division, and their sincere wishes for his success as Superintendent Secretary of the Metropolitan Corps.

Charterllou e, on ,aturdays during the summer, the marches from and to Toynbee Hall and the drill showed marked improvement. Duty has been undertaken as usual at Bostal Heath on Bank Holidays, and the Division has also been well represented at the various streets and other public duties when called upon by headquarters. Valuable lectures have been delivered during the winter session by Dr. Robert Hutchison, Dr. Arthur Keith, Dr. . B. Atkinson, and our H on. Surgeon Dr. 'Y. Black Jones. Two of our oldest members, Pte. John Brine ancl Pte. Chas. Savage have left for the Colonies, and we hear contemplate forming the nucleus of a division overseas. 'Ve regret to record the death of Pte. R. Tomsett, an enthusiastic and €tticient member, who passed away in March last. The respect in which he was helel was evidenced by the attendance of the whole Division, as well as numerous repre entati ves of neigh boming divisions, at the funeral service at N unhead. T~le Millwall ection m~intains its high average attendance at drill and general effiClency, but we should lIke to see an increase of membership.

Resulting without doubt from the continued interest shown in the Division by the Chainn.'llI .awl Director' ?f the Company, the membership is still increasing, the total eflc(!tl\-etrcngth helllg Ifi aheacl of la t year. The Company has given for annual campditioll :tllll)ll~ t the ambulance members at their several works a beautiful work oI art 1'e1'1'l!. entingthe "Good amaritan." This is held for the year by the members at Rotherhithe. ,'il vel' medallions are presented by the Company to those who q \l:~l~ry .far. theJl~ ; a fortnighly drill i allowed in the Company's time, and every Ll(:I11ty 1 gl\'en Jor the member to rc pond to the duty calls from headquarter, with out deduction [or 10. of time. 'Yith such advantages and encouraaement it is not a matter for 11llH'ise that llew members are coming forward . .A la:::'ge nll~ber of ca'iCS have been treated when not ou public dnty-this year totalling 455-and se,'eral me sages of commellliation have been received from surgeons at the various h~~pital on the careful and skilful way in which sufferers have been handled.

The D.l\'l~lOn lS prol1ll of the dlstIncbon that the majority of volunteers from this dlstl'lct, who have enrolled in the Royal ~ayal Sick Berth Re erve come from it mnks. The mall average of men at the weekly drills is explained by the fact that as the work of the company is of a continuons natme a full mu tel' at one time is imp%sible. It is gratiryin~ to record that the Division holds the "Efficiency" Cup for the present year. ports are held in the recreation ground attached to the work', at which the Divi ion takes dllt.y, freC)uently with useful results.

The team entered for the De\\'ar Shield Competition was again beaten in the preliruinary round after a close struggle by the Cyclists, and likewise the Division has not been so successful as hitherto in the various District competitions. On the other hand the new members recruited during the year promise to appreciably strengthen the Division, and all ranks are earnest and conscientious in their first aid work. Dr. Brown has again devoted much time and trouble to the Division, his course of lectures being well attenl1ed and much appreciateu. The econd Annual display of the outh London Divisions was held on the Causton Athletic Club's Cricket Ground at Dulwich . Favourecl with one of th~ most perfect days of a perfect summer, it was not urprising that large crowds enjoyed the instruetive programme provided . T he Divi ion is indebted to the Headqu.arter's Staff and to the Cyclist Divi ion for valuable help in the organisation of t~lS gathering. The D ivision continues to render good service in the factories of Fhr Joseph Causton and Sons, L td., and on various public occasions . T he ambulance tent and fully equil)ped ambulance tation e tablish ed and manncd by the Division at Du~wich has been greatly appreciated by the innumerable cricket, football and athletIc clubs t h at have thoir grounds in the neighbourhood.

Public duty has been performed at Earl's Court Exhibition, St. Paul's Cathedral, an d on the occasion of the opening of Parliament by H.M. the Eing, at Peckham Rye on E aster Monday, Whit Monday, and Angust Bank Holiday. A great n umber of cases have been attended to by members when not on public duty . These h ave been chiefly accidents to men at work on the new Victoria Station improvements.

I n order to promote the efficiency of the Division, D r. Matthew Coates, ILX., presented a silver cup for annual competition . Private \'\alter Hunt \\'on it for the fir t year. Seven mem bel'S qualified for the medallion of the St. John Ambulallce Association on the 2 Lh March, 1904, RO that thirteen members now hold this eli tinction . Public service was rendered on muny occasions, the mo.t impor1.ant being at the Earl's Court Exhibition, the L ord Mayor's Proc e~ iOIl, the Opening of Parliament, the Chelsea and ,Yest L ondon Schools' Athletic, ports, t. Paul's Cathedral, the Alfresco Fetes in aid of the R.S . P . C.A., tbe Bolingbroke Ho pital, and the Dulwich Hamlet and Wingfield House Football Club's home matches. Ambulance stations were also equipped and manned at treat ham Common and Brockwell Park on Easter Monday, Whitsun Monday, and the August Bank Holiday. The equipment of the Division is in a satisfactory condition, the two-wheeled litter alld the marquee presented by ir Horace and La{ly Brooks Murhall respectiyely have proved of great utility. Owing to the ,,-ant of proper quarters, the appliances are still distributed in se,eral places. T he Divi ion met for instruction and practice at the t. Alban's parish room, by the kind permission of the Rev. . M. Ranson . T,yo courses of lectures to ladies, the OlJe in first aiel amI the other in nUl'siug and hygiene, were given in the early part of the year by the hon. surgeon ,yith a view of forming a nursing division of the H. John Ambulance Brigade in the district. Both courses were successful, but although Mrs. Cave-Bl'own-Caye, the local Hon . Secretary of the St. John Ambulance Association, and another lady who has had much expcrience in the work of the Brigade and of the Association cordially supported the movement, sufficient names ha\'e not been enrulled to justify the forming of a division . It is hoped, however, th at a dozen ladies at least will be found soon to co-opente with the amhulance division on Bank Holidays and other occasions. T he proposal to provide an ambulance station at the Fountain, treatham High Road, has been postponed, as it was announced that the London County Council was about to adopt a general scheme for the whole of London, and it was thought inadvisable to proceed with a local voluntary scheme which might be rendered futile in the near future.

Th e annual distribution of clothing, etc., to the poor of Clerkenwell, took place as in previous years in the crypt of St. John's Church, kindly placed at the disposal of the Division by the Rector, the Rev. T . W . Wood. A large number of articles were distributed, the majority of which were the result of the sewing meetings which are held fortnightly at head-quarters. The presence of the Mayor of Finsbury, the R ev. and Mrs. T . I V . Wood, Mr. Fincham and others, was much appreciated. It is

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COM II

The la~t eight stations were established and. are kept up by thc No.9 District. MetropolItan Centre of the St. John Ambulan ce As ociation, the COlllmitt('e of which issue a very handy little map of the Di trict hewing the stations .

IOKER.

SIlt I ha\'e the honour of submitting my Report for K u. II. Di trict for the year c1I llin g, epteniber 30th, 1904. Although by the formation of N o. I'l l. District the whole of 'onth ,Yales, Mon1l10uthsbire aUtI Herefonl. hire have been taken away from the di. trict there is no decrease in my duties, twelve llew Divisions ha,ing been fOl'llJecl "'hich more than compen ate for the loss in numbers. Nearly all the Divisions have been inspected during the year by myself or my District tan', and reports upon the " 'hol e may be considered satisfactory. Seyeral Diyi "ions uch as Heading, Oxford, and N ewton Abbot are increasing so rapidly in numbcrs and efficiency that it may be hoped they will soon develop into Corp, which i " ery desirable and would also encourage their most excellect Officers in charge. A large ]lumber of the F. Bearer Company were in Camp during the Summer on Salisbury Plain and reports speak well at their conduct. . The Auxiliary Royal Kaval 'ick Berth Heserye is increa ing both in llumbers and m populal ity in this district, 20 have pas ed the Ad yanced First Aid Course and several have already received a week's training at a Royal Naval Hospital. Yaluable Challenge hiellls and. Cups have been corupeted for, among them the extremely handsome bowl presented to the Oxford Division by its Hon. Surgeon, Dr. Freeborn . My "warmest thank are dne to my As istallt Commis ioners, Drs. Laurie and Courtney . District Chief uperintendent prawsol1, and District uperintendent Secretar;v Phillips who haye carried out their in tructions in a mo t efficient manner and who have all rendered valuable eryices outside their ordinary duties. To name other Offi cers would be to present a long list, but the m8jority of them may be congratulated upon their good scrvices and the healthy spirit posse ed by all ranks. Indeed, were it not for the difficulty of obtaining from certain officers, the various returns correctly filled np and with punctuality, I should have little to complain of. I have tI)e honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN S. GRIFF1THS. T o the Chief Commissioner, St. John Am buiance Brigade.

S. Griffiths also spoke. At the conclusion of the meeting a strona Finance Committee was formed including the heads of many of the large business °houses in the City, and the great advantage of this powerful assistance has already made itself felt. The Corps is greatly indebted to the self denying efforts of all its medical oilicers, without which it would be impossible for it to maintain the position it holds in the district to·day. Early in the year the whole Corps was entertained by Dr. C. ~a.rm~n, and on June 25th there was a march out to Henbury Court by the mVItatlOn of M:r. J. I. Lennard, who very kindly provided every means for the men to spend a most enjoyable evening, and on the following Sunday the 26th (being the Sunday nearest St. J Cihn's Day) the Corps attended Divine Service at the Cathedra1. The ambulance wagon which has bleH added to the equipment during the year has pr?ved mos~ usefl~l, a large num bel' of transport cases having been undertaken, the sktlful way 111 whIch the work was done by those in charge being greatly appreciated by the patients and their friends . In conclusion the Corps looks forward with great hope towards the future and anticipates considerable additions to the ranks of its various departments.

The division, although only formed in Febrnary of this ye~r, has made rapid strides in every way. The membership bas increased and the dnlls have been well attended, notwithstanding that 36 have been held in such a short time and that the drill hall is about a mile from the centre of the town. Pnhlic duty has been performed on several occasions, notably, the unveiling of the B~ltrs memorial by Lord Roberts, E:1st Kent Agricultural Show (2 days), and the cncket week, during the latter the ambulance tent was visited by large numbers of member' from the outlying divisions of East Kent, including several medical and am~ulal1ce officers. Among t the many advantages possessed by this division is the act~v~ support of the Mayor, Sir George Collard, Lady Collard (the latter was the reclplent .of two certificates from the association this year) and Oolonel Hickson c01.nm~ndlDg the depot here. Through his kindness we are permitted to hold our ?nlls m the Buf!s drill hall. The present Hon.

The inspection by the Assislant Commissioner in June has done a great deal of good and smartened the men up. I t is satisfactory that there was not a single absentee on this occasion. The attenuance at drills, &c., has been very good throughout the year. The most important turn-out for public duty was on the occasion of an address by the Corporation to their :Majesties when leaving Goodwood on the 30tb of July. It was all exceptionally hot day and there were many cases of illness in the crowd which were attended to in a way that attracted much favourable comment and which made the brigade very popular. Th ere seems a prospect of a larger number of recruit3 l1eiug obtained this winter from the first aid clas'esattheTechnical Institute. From financial considerations it was not considered advisable to put any more men into uniform during the past year.

O\yillg to the increased secretarial work, an office bas been renteu and has proved yery useful, monthly meetings of the officers being beld there. Hon.

20th Octulm', 1904. Ill,

I bll.\·e the honour to ,:uhmit the fullowing a my Annual Report for Xo. III. Vi:;trict for the year encling' 30th ::)clltember, 1904. Bl'i Hade work 1m:; been acti \'ely carried on during the year, the various Corps and Divis~m; in the clistri<;ts h<wing made continued and ati:;fnctory progrelil. There haR ]Jccn a cOllsiderable clecreao.;e in the numerical strength of some of the older established corps, such as Kettering, Ipswich, ' methwick and ,Vellingborough, prin(;ip<tlly caused by \\-eeding out non-efticiel1Ls, but the Assi:;tant-Commis ioner speak:; hopefully of re-forming' ,ome Di ,'i ,ion and pulling the numbers up again . ..:\.nother cause of the diminished total i:; the formation of the new 1'\0. VII. Di trict, by ,,11i(;h thi ' ditrict lo:;t the County of 'hropshire and upwards of 200 Officers and men. DUl'ill~ the year two new Di\-i:.;iom; haye been formed in the Birmingham Corps, one in the Lei(;e.ter Corp and one in the Xorthampton Corp, but the t . John's, Ip:;wich, 1Iul1tz\, "':methwick, and the Gayton and Duyentry Divisions, ha,e ceased to exi,t. The annual inspection have been carri d out in a atisfactory mfl.nner. I inRpectecl the Birmingham Corps on fleptember 3rd in the fine Volunteer Drill Hall, kindly lent by Culonel C. J. Hart and the Officers of the 1st V.B. Royal " Tarwick Hegiment. The total number of Officers and men on parade wa 104, all in the uniform of the Brigade. Including Chief Surgeon Nel'on and Chief uperintendent Gilbert. all the Corp ' Staff Officers were pre'ent; they pre ented a ,ery smart appearance, and frum the manner the day 's programme was carried out, all ranks seemed thoroughly keen on the work. I yentured to predict that there was a great future for this 'orpR, and that it wag likely to become the backbone of the No. III. District. Kearly eyery Corps and Di\'i ion in the di trict ha been in pected during the year, and in this important \\-ork I haye been ably a i ted by A Ri tantCommi :;ioner \Vool ton, Chief- urgeon Audland, and urgeon-Captain Brook. I "i, h to take this opportunity of thanking them for the valuable help they haye gi"en me in carrying out the variou Briga.de duties throughout the year. On Ma,y 6th the final stage in the ,. Dewar hield Competition, held in London, was won by the Birmingham orp team under 1st Officer C. H. Overbury. The \\'inning team had a gr at reception on their return to Birmingham, and at the Di trict Camp held at Towce tel' during ,Vhitsun week, the ... hield decorated the Officer' M e s Tent. The Annual amp of Instruction wa again held at , Vhit untide in Easton Neston Park by the kind permi sion of 11' Thoma H esketh, Bart. There wa a larger attendance in camp, and the value of the practical experience gained is being increasingly appreciated by all rank in the District. On May 25th the Chief Commi sioner inspect d the Camp, and subsequently held a review in the Park. The dutie of Camp Adjutant were again carried out by As i tant-Commissioner Wool ton, who was ahly assi ted by Captains Hughes and Goucher, who looked after the comfort of all under canvass. In concluding this report, I beg to draw the attention of Commanding Offir:ers of Corp and Division, to the neces ity of having the annual returns sem in earlier an II

It was with much regret that the members learn:'d that the Superintenllent, Mr. A. '1'. Dawson, had resicrlled, after ltohlillg the office for several years. At the annual inspection First Officer W. E. Hartland was appointed to the vacant office. A good number attended call1p, a 1111 a still greater number are looking forward to attending next year. At the annual inspection Assist. -Commissioner Woolston said he wa delighted with the progrcss made. It was the best inspection he had e'-er attcnded in Du(lley. He eom plimented the mcn 011 their smartness anti appearance. As usual, the members turned ont 011 all public occasions, and whil t on duty at the Horse Show on Ban k Holiday Monday attelJcled a yery scriolls acciden t. A hcavy horse got beyond control anti jumped amongst the spectators, which rcsultcd. in about a dozen person'> being rendcred unconscious with injuries of a seriolls nature. The Hon. Surgeon and members were in attendance at once, and the cool and efficient manner in which the cases were treated. brought forth ullstinted prai e from Press and puhlic. The Horse how Committee, in recognition of the serviccs rendered, sent a donation to the funds of the Corps. On eptember 23rd the members attend.ed. the unveiling of a memorial by General Lyttleton to the memory of Dudley heroes who fell in the South African War, and upon wbich is inscribed the name of Pte. S. H. T. Clarkson, one of the members of the Division. During the year three church parades have been attended; and three first aiel classes have been held, which resulted in a large increa e in thc mcmbcrsbip. Several competitions have been arrangerl to take place early in next year.

Since the Divi ion was formed in 1902 it has spent more than £70 in uniforms and materials; the whole of thi sum, with the exception of £27, has beeu pl'oyided by the members thcmselves. Twenty- even cases were treated on public duty, and some of them were serious injuries, while it is believed that many more \vere attended to privately than haye been returned, as members forget to mention them at the next drill they attend.

There appears to be a disposition on the part of large Corps to can.¥' on Bngaclo work by "centralizing" more. This, of course, l~ads to a cOlllractl~1l of Corl's un i ts.

It is quite unde:'stood by all cOI1?el'llec1 that faIlure .lo produce a complete Brigade record bars all mem bel'S of Lhe Bl'lgade from the Service .l\1 cdaI ; hence the great importance of fl11'nishing ar~nnal J'e~nrns. . . With one or t\Yo exceptions every U11lt was Inspected, t IllS duty beJl1g proportioned between the District. tnIT. From the reports submitted to me I have just reason for stating that the efficiency and interest taken in Brigade ambulance work developes each year. I place the greatest importanc:e on Annual I nspection , The at tendance at these parades for the year uncleI' review has in-::reased considerably, b u t t h er e is yet room for i mprovement. 'r he most important event during the yea r was the completion of the Drill lI all for the Accrington Corps. T his bnilding cost over £3,000 . O n llLh J une the H all was opened by Major-Generd l Ballen-Powell, C.B .

On the occasion of the Visit of Ilis !llajesty the Killg to L iverpool on Hlth July street dnty was llmlertaken . I fUl'1lished a "pecial report cOllceJ'lling this parade which went fully into the particulars of the work donc . . On the 9Lh July I inspected the ullits forming the North-East L ancashIre Corps and Divisions at Todmonlen. I was pelfectly satisfied with the parade which, ifl10t so large as usual, exhibitcd a smart al1l~ soldier.like appearance. ~ had the ~l~asl1re of. ubmitting a detailerlreport ('ollcerllll1g the lJ)SpectlOn and vanous competitIOns.

Derham expresse his satisfaction with all he saw on this occasioll, althouuh the number Oll parade did not reach the total of former years. I pl;ced ] Hon. urgeoll, 4 mell and 3 nurses at the dil;posal of the Co~mittee of the Royal Lancashire Agricultural, 'ociety for amuulance duty on the occaSlOn of the Annual how held at outhport, 29th and 30th July, 1st and 2nd August; a considerable llumuer of cases were attended to. The competitions for the" Crosfield "Shield, "Argenta" Cup, and" T unstill" Shielrl were all snccesHfully carried out. The fact of having these trophies has devcloped a keen nnd l'rai 'e\\'ol'thy desire to merit success on the part of the many teams which enter for these competitions, certainly the class of ambulance \york and chill exhibitell is of a high order and extremely smart. T hr. meeting of the Nursing Divisions to decide the Division which was to hold the Nursing Challenge Shield took lilace aL Rochdale on the 24th, 'eptember. The Lytham ladies won the Shield, Oldham being 2ncl and Preston 3rd . The Annual Di trict Conference a sembled at Darrow-in-Furne on the 10th rptelllher.

I greatly appreciate these 111eetings and [llll certainly of opinion that, in this District, the bouds of Brigade unionism are cemented and strengLhelled by tbem .

Aceom panymg m e was Distriut Chief Surgeon Thomson, M. D. Th.fl p.arade was. und er command ,o f District Superintendent Secretary Garnett, Dlstnct Snpel'lntendent of StOles

J>ooley being ill charge of the Nursing Di visiolls, and Di~tri ct Superintendent Treasurer Pim undertook the duties of .Adjutant. I was received with a general salute, and after illspecting the parade, the Corps and Divisions and Nursing Divisions marched past, the formation being colnmn of fours. On taking up their original gronnd an exhibition in bandaging was given, and afterIVarus a supposed railway accident was dealt with. I was greatly gratified by the appearance of the parade, which \\'as, in my opinion, clean and sllIart. Many of the units present have adopted the brown belt equipment; the old white belt is rapidly becoming a thillg of the past. The uniform ' of all ranks fitted better, and there was a general dis po. ition evident to put on the variollS items of the cquipment with uniformi ty and correetnes. The march past was well carried out, the bearing of all ranks exhibitillg much improvement. The exhibitions of bandaging and first aid to the injUl'efl was carefully and skilfully performed. The work done by the nursing sisters deserved special praise. The parulle state showed 13 Corps and Divisions, with a strength of 305; :five Police slluatls added 25 to this nnmber ; and eight Nursing Divisions produced 148 Kursing Oflicer' and Kl11'sing •'i tel's, giving a total of all ranks of 478. This I con ider a very satisfactory num bel', considering that Todm orden is on the outskirts of Ko. IY. District, and therefore the cost of travelling is a heavy drain on the resources of unit· ; in fact in many instances this expense is prohibitive. The usual competitions took place, and excited a cOllsiderable amount of hearty rivalry. In the Am1.mlance •'quarl test the order of merit was as follo\\'s :_ Oil'Ision I. -Brierfield 1st, Preston 2nd, 'W arrington 3rd . The judges were HOll.

Report of the Review and Inspection of the South-East Lancashire C01pS cmd Divisions. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S OFFICE, BLACKPO OL, 21st SelJtembc1', 1904. SIR,-I have to report that, upon your instruction, I inspected the Parade of the South-East Lancashire Corps and Divisions at Roy ton on Saturday, 17th ept., 1904. T here were 12 Corps and Divisions and 4 Nursing Divisions, giving a total parad\3 of 268 (as shown on parade state enclosed) as compared with 476 last year at H eywood, 473 in 1902 at T ottington, and 344 in 1901 at Hadcliffe. District Superin.tendent ~eer~tary Garnett was in command, Chief Superintendent Ogden, of Accnngton bemg III ehal'ge of the Nnrsing Divisions. On inspectin~ the l:anks I found all the Nursing SIsters, with two exceptions, wore the prescnbed umform, a marked improvement in this respect upon last year's parade. All the men wore the prescribed dress, but were not uniform, Radcliffe

289

and Castleton Divisions wearing the field service cap; Roy ton D ivision appeared in forage caps and field service caps; the remainder of the men on parade wearillg the forage cap; Edenfield and Roy ton Divisions did not carry havresacs. In future pa.rades uniformity in dress and accoutrements should, if practicable, be insisted upon. After tbe I nspection a march past in sections of fours was very well executed; the men marched steadily, maintaining their distance and dressing. The marching of the Nursing Divisions was also very creditable. Then commenced a competition for prizes to be awarded to the quads who, in the opinion of the Judges, excelled in the applicationofsplints and bandages. The display was very good, the members of the ursing Divisions particularly showing neatness and celerity in their work. Afterwards a number of men were distributed about the field , suffering from supposed injuries sustained in railway accident. On signal given stretcher parties went to each patient and attended to his injuries. The work done in this rebpect clearly demonstrated that the men had attained a high state of efficiency in tbe rendering of first aid to the injured. The prizes were then awarded as under ; Ambulance Corps and Divisions.-Norden, 71 points; Oldham, 68 points; Bmy and Rochdale tied with 60 point~ each. Nnrsing Divisions.-Oltlham, 102 points; ROl!bdale, 99; Bury, 87. The Judges were, for tho. Ambulance Corps and Divisions ;-Hon. Surgeon Clegg, of Accringtoll, and for the NLU'sing Divisions, Dr. Bentley, of Roy ton. The diminisheu numbers on parad« as compared with former years is stated to be the difficulty of access to Hoy ton, chiefly on account of the entire tramway system being su pended whilst undergoing recollstruction. The Corps and Divisions absent were Bolton, Ha.lmgden, Milmow and Newhey, Rawtenstall, Whitworth and Tottillgton. The Moses Gate Division arrived too late to be included in the Parade. Thanks are clue to Councillor John tansfield (Superintendent of the Roy ton Divi. ion), Chairman of the Urban District Council, who kindly placed the Council Office and Market Hall at our disposal in the event of the weather preventing the outdoor Parad e; to the Rev. J. H. Humphrey, M.A., Vicar of Roy ton, who pre ented the prizes to the winning quads, and afterwards entertained the District taff Officers a.nd J lldges; and also to ergean ts Tattersall and S. Fen ton, Hon. ecretaries, who were chieQy responsible for organising the Parade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, Jxo. C. DERHAM, Assistant-Oo?nmissione?', No. IV. District.

Oclobc?', 1904. IE,-

I have the honour of submitting my rcport for the year cnding "- cpt(;mhtr 30, 1£104. There are now in my District 51 Corps and Di\"i"io11t:; and 14 'ur"ing Divisions, with a total of 3,076 memberI"-, which i' fi, gratifying incrcage on In,,t year and shows the steady and increasing intcregt taken in Brigade ,,-ork. ix new DivIsions have been formed during the year and I continue to lune numerous enquiries from yarious parts for information for the fOlming of fr\:sh DiYigi(,n ~. I continue to impress on all Corps the importance of haying 'ursing DiYi~ions C011nected with them, for without them I do not con~ider allY complete. I am plt'a,ccl to report that my staff has been increased during the year by tlle appointment of Chief uperintendent Else, of heffield, as Di trict Chief 'uperintendent. and I hllYe again to thank not only him, but 0.1. 0 the other members, and my AS! j"ttmt-COlllIllib"iollL'l', :1\1r. :Malkin, for their yaluable help in carrying on the yery Ulduous dutie.· conn cted with the Brigade in such a competent manner. I cannot speak too highly of the valuable assistance of my District uperintendent .'ecretaI'Y, ~Ir. Hntcliff, without whose valuable a istance I could not carry out the clerical dutie' whieh are now \,(:I'Y hea'7. Most of the Corps and Divisions in my district have been inspe<.:ted durilJg' the yea!', either by myself or one of my staff, and the reports genernJly have b en mo"t satisfactory as to the efficiency and the way in which the record' have 1)Ce11 kept and the useful practical work done during the year. In July la t I made an in"pection of the Tibshelf, Birchwood, Mansfield, Ilkeston, and utton Corps with ullit, from several others, at which inspection we had the honour of the pre.. ence of 'urgeollGeneral Sir William Taylor, who expressed him elf as being mo:t pl· a.ed with the smartness and efficiency of the work done, while I cannot speak too highly of the smart appearance of the men on parade. The Beo.rer Company and a1:;o the Royal Kaval Sick Berth Reserve have increased and been mo t sati factory during the year. L ast Whitsuntide the first attempt at a district camp was made at Bare, and was attended by 217 Officers and men from the following Corps and Division., vi?.:Birchwood, Brighouse, Dewsbury, Elland, Reanor, Jlkeston, Rarpur lIill, lUan field, Sheffield, Shipley, Sutton, Tibshelf, and Reckmondwike, and proved mo t u efnl and instructive; so much was it appreciated that it was resoh"ed to hold another next ' Vhitsuntide at Blackpool, which gives promise of being still larger, if not the large ·t ever held by a district. The adoption of the authorised uniform continue to spread in a most satisfactory manner, and is now worn by nearly all the Corps and Divi ions in my district. Much useful public and private work has been done during the year, an account of which will be found in the various reports appended, and I have to thank the different Officers of the District for carrying out their arduous duties, and keeping up the high st::mdard of efficiency of the Corps and Diyisions under their command. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

A number of infl.uentialladie and gentleman gave thell' sernc.es, but much of the succe was due to the popularity of the Black Dyke :nand, wInch rendered e\'eral "ery plea ing selection ; whilst a similar degree of pral,e mu t be added for the Eastbrook Prize Choir Quartette. Our be t thanks are ~ue to ~Ir. F. l'IIacnaughton for the loan of the concert hall, and al 0 for the se~·vlCes. of ~Ir. },dward Harri on, his genial manager. An amount of £7 was rinsed 1ll. tIll' way for the u e of the corps, then much in debt. On April the 26th, a v.ery enjoyable dance wa held by members of the corps and their friends in the Drill Hall, Undercliffe (by kind I ermis ion of the D eputy-Commi sioner), and was well a~tended . Ol~ May 4th, the occa ion of the ,i it of their Royal Highnesses the Prmce and Prmce s of \Ya.le to the Cartwright Exhibition, pecial ambulance arnLngements were made in conjunction with the Chief Constn,ble.

There were also present Deputy-Commissioner ,tual't Wardell, and Major W est Symes, the District Chief u~geon . ~he day was hot, and it is estimated that in addition to three rather serIOUS aCCldents, l1en.rly 800 cn es of fainting were tr~ated . The following corps and division as'.isted. Leeds, hipley, Brighou e, Eccleshill and Brownroyd. The four local sectlOn haye a.lso taken weekly duty in the ambulance tent at Li tel' Park, throughout the perIod of the exhibition. Several serious cases of broken limb and scald, and a great variety of minor cases were attended to. Very efficient en;ce W~,:S. ~ltio rendered durinO' a severe outbreak of fire in the omali village at the Xhll)1tlOl1. The officers h:ve been very a siduous in the discharge of thei~ c~llties, a?d the success of the corps is largely due to the interest they have taken 111 It, especIally nt the public gala parades. Onr best thanks are also due to the lay~r and ?In.yores':;, Ald . and 11rs. D. , Vade, Mr. , V. C. L upton (the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Cartwright Exhibition), Councillor F.

Satisfa.ctory progress has been made in all Divisions of the corps during the year. Two new divisions have been sanctioned, viz., Ravensthorpe Division and lorley Nursing Division, this will bring up the strength of the corps to 2 0 strong. The good feeling and working of all the divisions has brought n,bout its continued succ:es. D uring the year the outh African ~Iedal of the Order of 't. John wa pre ented to the 29 men who served in the late war, hy Mr . '.V. J . Church 13m:;ier, who received a good Yorkshire welcome. The Dewsbury Division a.ttended the brigade camp at Morecambe, and were well satisfied with the in truction obtained-a much larger camp, however, would give greater satisfaction to all concerned. This Division has also gained many honours during the year in competition work. The Thorne's Cup Competition was a greater success this year, 17 teams competing. The winners were Huddersfield, 1st; aHord, London n,nd North-western Railway, 2nd; Brierfield, 3rd, The competition will be held next year (1905), on July 8th . The Batley Division also presented a silver cup for competition, the ,vinners this year being: 1st, Bradford Police; 2nd, Dewsbury; 3rd, Bradford Corps. The Annual Ambulance unday was held this year in Morley, when 300 members in uniform took part. We find the service and parade does a great deal to help forward the work of the Brigade. A field dn,y for all divisions was held in the grounds of Major '.Valker, the stations formed were fully It is the intention to hold one annually for training in transport equipped. and hospital duties . The whole of the corps and divisional officers and sergeants were entertained at dinner by the Chief Superintendent, the cross-table chat was very beneficial to all present. W . Runciman, Esq., JII .

Although the report shows a decrease of one member, It IS pleaslDg to obser\'e there is a marked improvement in the average attendance; al 0 that at both the annual r~. examination and at the inspection held in July, there was a good muster. It ~s gratifying to report that during the year a ladies' class hit been formed, and this promises to be mo t successful. The number of case attenc~ed as s~own on .report, does not represent anything like the work done, as a gret~t dIfficulty 1 found ll1 get. ting the men to report same. everal of the men ar~ railway emplo~ees, and four of them have since the last report, been presented with gold and '11\'er medals for services rendered to the injured .

Ib is gratifying to be able to state that this Corps is increasing in efficiency as a whole . T he Tewcastle-under-Lyme Division are doing good work, and under the exc~llent and efficient teaching of their uperintendent, Dr. Allardice, h'1."e been aga!-ll able to win the Challenge Cup at the annual competition. It is, howen:r, deSIrable that more men should be enrolled under this Officer. The Potteries Electric Traction Co. have increa ed in numbers and efficiency, and their drills are regular and good. It is a mOtit promising Division. The Burslem Division remains tilllall in numbers, but the work is well done and the rerfulations carried out. The Kor~h .'ta.fforchhireRailway Division w~rk pasmodicallyowing to the difficulty of gettmg the l1:en together, an~l though dnlls, etc., may be in orders very few attend, many rendenng themselves lutble to be struck off the roll of efficients. At one time they were a strong Di visi.on and ''lorked well, and it is to be regretted that such is not the case now. IIanley (N.S.R.) is lot smart Division, they are under the command of it 'e ~ge:mt, and work hard and de:;erve eyery prai e, they attend their drills, and get umful'm although without funds or subscribers. The Milton Division work under ~reat difficulties, but do their best under their pain:;taking Officer, Mr. ,V. Lowe. It IS to be regTetted that he is not better supported, or he would soon have a Diyisiun e<lual to It1ly in the C01})s. The Tun -tall Diyision which used to be one of the ~lll<trt~, t :tud best w?rke? .h~lS alm,ost f,tllen out, but it is gratifying to learn that there 1:; u. lIkehhood of thus Dnl.SlOn belllg re-formed. a report on the whole Corps, I am abl,e .to say thtl.t those now el,lrolled ,tre a smart lot of men, well up in their work and. ettiCl\~llt . . A '!l?all and efficlent Corps is undoubtedly better than a large one, bann~ many ll~e~Clents. The books of the se,'eml Divisions are not kept a they should he, but It IS hoped to be able next yea,r to report ~reat improyement in tIllS lll,ttter.

I t is the firm determination to try and do better next year A shght decrease 111 mcmbership is tu be obsen·ed. This is on account of the high stanclard of efficiency insisted upon hy the Officers. Ko non·effieients are allowed to remain in the Divi ion. Eleyen men of the Division attended the Camp at Morecambe during , Vhitsun-week, and spoke l110!'.t highly of the excellent management, and the great experience gained. The D '}Juty-Commissioner held his annual in,'pection in the Town IIall on February th, and distributed certificates for ambulance work, and sick nursing.

REPORT OF THE ASSI TANT COM:llII" IORER. 9, COLLEGE HILL,

URE'YSDl'l\Y,

No';ember 24th, 1904.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit the following as the first report of the newly formed No. VII. District. As at first form ed this District cOllsi ted of one Corps l1ud eleven Divisions. Since its formation the follo\ying units have lJeen added and dnly sanctioned :-Newport (Mon.), 1 Corps; Chil'k, 1 Division; Penrhi\\'ccibcr, 1 Division; Portmadoc, 1 Division; Blaina, 1 Division; Abergavenny, 1 Did ion; Treherbert, 1 Division. I nspections have been carried out by myself 111H1 m)' District tafr and the reports to hand are encouraging. I mportant ambulan ce Juty has been undertakcn by units of the District on the occasion of Ris lUaje ty the King's visit to Rhaya.d cr to 0]1(,11 the Birmingham Water Works; this duty being undertaken in conjunction with units supplied by the Birmingbam Corps of N' o. III. District. Puhlic duty of an equally important nature has been performed most eflicieu tly uy various Divisions as recorded in their annual reports . I am enconraged to hope that some of the Rail way systems in the District will ally theDlsel yes to the Brigade; as things are at present they are satisfied in an ambulance sense with holtling among themselves annual competitions for various shields and cups, which are, of COUl' e, only for the few; the remainder wbo do not compete, being left without further practice or instruction after having obtained a First Aid Certificate. These remarks apply equally to the City of Hereford where thcre exists a local Ambulance As ocia.tion limited to a five-mile area, bn t; a little patience and fmth er in formation of the paramount advantage of joining the Brigade, may haye the happy result of hringing all these into line. In any efforts made by me in furthering the best interests of the Brigade, I should fail, without the cordial and willing h elp aITordecl me by my District Staff to whom I accord my grateful thanks. I al 0 wish to place on record the devoted efforts to the cause, by those OfIicers and members of tl1e Brigade, who have spared nothing to help forwa.rd the philanthropic work which we haye in hand; and, I hope, to see more Nursing Divisions springing up in the district, and also that more opportunities may be given to all members of the Brigade, to obtain some knowledge of nursing. I have often seen many instances of the quiet good work done by ladies who have obtained the Nursing Certificate, and kept up their knowledge at the hands of the Bligade, and I gladly avail myself of this occasion to testify to the usefulness of the Nursing Divisions geIlerally. Subjoined is a tabulated abstract and seniority list of Corps and Divisions and Nursing Divisions, with a County Distribution of the same. I have the hononr to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, EDWAHD CURETON,

To the Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade.

From each Division the name of non-ellicients have been renlOved and by the strict compliance with the regulations whieh is required, and the re.taining ~!lly of those who take a real interest in the work, the status of the Corps WIll be raised and the regal'll for the Brigade enhanced. At the begilln~ng of the year efrorts ",.cre made to raise funds by means of a bazaar, and the Corps 111 general al1l~ the. l1UfSlOg Officers and si5ters in particular are to be cO~J gratt~lat~d on ~he rcsults o}. th?\l" ~f~orts . Public duty was undertaken on the occaSIon of HIS :MaJesty the hlllg s VISIt to Rhayader, when the members of the Corp~ present ll1e~ ~or th~ second time in l~is official capa,city the newly appointed ASSistant UOIllIlJIS~IOner In chargc of the ellstrict, who expressed himself as being gratitiell with the work and appe~ral1ce of th()~e on duty.

Janua)'y, 1905. SIR, I have the honour to present the econd Annual Report of the 1\t.,\\" South ·Wales District of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. During the year ending Septem her 30th, 190,*, Olle Corps, two Amlulance Diyi ions, and three ursing Divi~ions haye been formed in yclney, bringing the total up to one Corps, two Ambulance Divisions and foUl' Nursing Divisions, with a ~otal menther· ship of 314. Our numbers have therefore cloubled themsehes dUl'lllg the year. There is every prospect of a large increase in the near future, as t11e Brigade aud its work become known throughout the country districts. Early in the year the Civil Ambulance and Transport Brigade, an organization doillg splendid work in the public streets in Sydney and subUl'bs forl'veral ytalS, applied for admission as a Corps of the Brigade, and was duly formed as such on May 1st. The Civil Ambulance Brigade had always auoptecl the syl1abu~ of lectures and examinations of the St. John Ambulance Associatioll; in fact it lecturers and examiners were medicalmell who also acted in similar capacities uUller the S.J.A.A. This amalgamation has been a source of strengtb to the Brigade. Tbe annual re·examinations were carried out by the Depnty,C01l11l1i' sioner aml myself. Owing to the increase in the amount of work to be done, an enlargement of the D istrict Staff was necessary. Dr. S. Jamieson was appointed District Chief Snrgeon, Mr. Leonard Dobbin District Superintendent Secretary, and Mr. H. Priestley D istrict Superintendent Treasurer. Major J. A. Liebmann baving left the Commonwealth, the office of District Chief Superintendent became vacant on May 15th. The Roth Ambulance Challenge Shield. was won by the Glebe Ambulance D ivision after a very close contest with Mort's Dock, the previous holders. It is very probable that new districts ,yill be formed during the currcnt year in the States of Victoria and South Australia. Throughout the year I have been ably assisted by the Deputy.Commissioner, Dr. T. S . Dixson, who will now take charge of the New South ·Wales District owing to my having been appointed Commissioner for the Australian Commonwealth. The Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve has not as yet made much pro· gress, but with the assistance of Staff. Surgeon Robardt, R . N ., I hope to enrol a fail' num bel' of volunteers shortly.

I have plclsure in .'ubllliLting to you thi:-;, my first report, lIpon the :-:it. John Ambulancc Brigade ill the ()olony of .J.. ew Ze,dllnd. At tIle present time there are foul' AlllbulalH.:e Corps 01' Divisions in the Oolony, and tll'O _ msing Divisions. The fOJ'Incr are at Au(;klalHl, \Yelliuglon, Oallial'll, and DuneJin, while J.:Tul'.ing Divisions alt: in exi tence at \\Tellington and DUlJrdin. The reporls flll'1li.-hed by the varion' corps amI divi~iollS are of a scltisfactory natme, and point to a steady aJ"ance in the work undertakcn. The prospccts of an extcllsion of the operations of the St. John Alnlmluncc Brigade ill this Colony are lli tinctly favourable. Therc are a Humber of fair-si;~eu tOWIlS w!tcre clas:es ha\'e bcen held by the Associatioll, and where there lllll · t be a COll 'iderabIc Humber of certilicated members, and I am of the opiuion tlllLt it ollly rcclnires th,lt some persoll should take the initiative in oruer to bring into existence a unmber of new division'. I purpose taking action with a view to the forlllatiou of new uiyisiolls whcre I COll. ider that there is a pl'ospect of their continuancc, alH1 I hope that in my next report I .<;hall he able to chronicle the fOJ Illation of :-;evcml additional unit. OIl the th April I was pre ent at thc regular meeting of the Dunedin ~ursing Division, being accolllpanicu by urgeon-:i\Iajor Will, V.D., the Chairman, and JIr. .r. E. Done, the :Sccretary of the locul Centt·e. There was an excellent attendance of thc lIlembcr , and uncleI' thc directioll. of Dr. \Villiams, the actillg Hon. ul'geou, anu fIli ·s Hooper, thc Lady .~llperintendcllt, an admirably exccuteu programme of work was gone throug!.:. At thc conclusion of the meeting I took occasion to CXPI'f'SS n.y ::;ati radion at the proficicncy aud interest displayed by the lllemher::;. I inspcctcd the Dunedin Division of the Brigade on the 21st April, l:)lll'geon-}IajOI' \Yill, V.D., again accoll1j)'lnying mc. Tlte Di\'i ion was unner the command of uperiuLcnclcnt Bone, and wellt through OIlle illteresting work, including the treatment of accicleuts and stretcher drill. A considerable amount of intelligence was shown by the members prescnt, and the strctcher drill in particular, which incl~lcled th~ pa'Ssing of obstacles, was exceptionally well done, and deserving of speCIal mCll t1On. I alU uow about to direct the attention of the members of thc Ambulance division to the neces 'ity of extending their practice beyond thc nrt aid limits, auu to recommcnd thel? to include a cerlain amount . of nursing instruction during the year, so as to qualIry members to take up hospltal duty shoulll the neccs ity arise for thcir scrvices being rcq uired in such a capaci ty . In this direction I have b~en promiscd thc co-opcration (so f~r ~s Duned.in is co?ceroed) of Brigade Snrgeon Lleut.-Co1.
