His Royal Highness the Grand Prior and the ChapterGeneral have conveyed to the Chapter of the J ohanniter Orden the expression of their warlll sympathy at the lamented decease of their Grand laster, His Royal Highness Prince Albrecht of Prl1s 'ia, for lllany years past an Honorary Knight of Justice of the Engli ,h Order. A communication has been received fr0111 the> eCl'etary of the Bailiwick of Brandenbur o', stating that the member' accepted with true and wannest thanks the notification of the brotherly sympathy which was expressed by the Grand Priory of the English Order. The death of Lady Knul ford is most deeply deplored by the Order generally anc1 especially by the mem bel's of the Ambulance epar mcnl, of "which Lord r nutsford was for so long the Director and Chairman. Lady r nut 'ford ,vas always ready to attend meeting ' conn ctcd with ils oro'ani ation and development, and her valllaLle cryir (Iurin el' the outh African ,Varin the collection of ambulance maLerial and of comforts for the sick and wounded wi1110no' be gratefully remembered by the 1\Jembers of the Order and 1)] tho. e who so gre::ttly oenentted by her practical help and o'!'aci llS Yll1pathy with the afflicted and the di tre ~e d. The I iO'ht Rev. Lord lw)'nne Compton, a ub-Prelate of the OnIer, had offici::tted at the annual ommellloration services, and recently made a O'enerou benefaction to the funds of the 01' leI'. The Rev. 'ir Borrac1::tile ,'::tv ry was ::tt the time of hi death a selected mem bel' of the Council, and for sevcr::tl years previously had occupied the po t of Officiatin,_; h::tplain. He had long taken great interest in the affairs of Lhe Order, and while in office r::trely missed u,tLending it meetings. l\lu,jor-Generu,l 'ir ,Villiam :ratacre ,Vu,s admitLcc1 in recognition of the valuable work performed by him in the uppres ion of the plague epidemic in Bombay and elsewhere, and a melancholy interest i attached to his selcction, his death havin o' t::tken phce ill the Soudan before the official notification th reof could have reached him. The other Melllbers and As ociates deceased durin o' the J ear had chiefly shown their interest in special departmental work either connected with the t. John Ambulance Association, the

St. John Ambulance Brigade, or the British Ophthalmic Hospital. Mention must, however, be made of tho valuable services rendered by Viscount Hampden when Governor of New South ,Vales, and by Dr. George Thomson, a member of the J\Iedical Staff and afterwards Chairman of the Oldham Centre, whose efforts in the furtherance of ambulance work were unceasing in Lancashire and will be greatly missed by his conjTe1'es. Countess Howe ",vas admitted to the Order in recognition of services rendered during the South African ,Val', when she acted as Chairman of the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital COlllmittee. Her organising ability was only equalled by her elevation to the work, practical proof of which was nffordeel by the um of upwards of £140,000 being collected in a few month , while more than a thousand tons of hospital and other necessitie were sent out to South Africa for tbe benefit cf over 20,000 p:1tients treated wbile the Hospital was under the management of Lndy Howe and bel' Committee. The name of the Baroness Burdett-Ooutts was n ynonym for all that was humane and philanthropic in the charitable work of the country and the operations of the Order, e peci:111y in t.he relief of the sick, the needy, and the suffering, appealed to her warm-hearted sympathy. Reference must also be made to the lamented decease of Mr, John Dickson, for many years His Britannic Maje ty's Consul for Palestine, who was always ready to further with hi. advice and official assistance the work of the Order's Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, of which he was formerly the local President.

year. The Ohapter desires to express satisfaction at the continued progress and development of tho St. John Ambulance Association and of the it. John All.lbulance Brigade, and especially wishes to draw attention to the steps now being carefully considered, at the instance of the ,Val' Office, for the Ambulance Department to be of still grenter assi tance to the Military Authorities, should the country be engaged in hostilities of any magnitude.

The reports of the Ambulance Department and of the British Ophthalmic Hospital will be found in the Appendix. Much gratification will be experienced by the J\1:embers of the Order at the honour conferred npon the Ambulance Departlnent by the presentation by H.R.H. the Grand Prior at Itarsi on 17t.h February, 1906, of the silver Challenge Shield presented for competition among the Indian railways; and also of the presentation of a similar Shield, annually competed for by the railway companies of England and Wales, by H.R.H. Princess Henry of Battenberg at the Portman Rooms on 10th May of the same

The Cbnpter is deeply sensible of the honour conferred on the Order by the Bniliff of Egle, Field 11arshnl His Royal Highness the Duke of Connnuo'bt, K.G., hnving tnken the chair at a meetinO', helel by kind permission of the Chnncellor at his bou e in it . .James's 'quare, in furtherance of the objects of the Briti 'h Opbthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem. It sincerely trusts that the result will be a greater and much needed increase to its fund " to enable the Hospital to carryon tbe beneficent W rk for which there seems to be an ever-O'rowing need in the Holy City anel urrounc1ing country.

John' Day, 190;, to the same dnte in 1906, the Pm'ish Nurse attending the following cases:Medicn,l 22 ) Surgical ~ ( Total-114. Chronic Maternit.y f

The actual number of professional visits pa.id by the Nurse during the year was 2,038. The population of St. John's Parish is temporarily reduced, as certc.tin old streets have been pulled down by the London County Council, and the worku1en's dwellings to repbce them have not yet been built. The sick and convalescent poor have received, as usual, nourishing diets from the Almoner's Department when reconlmended by the Doctor, the Rector, or the N Ul'se. Milk has also been provided, which is particularly beneficinl in many cases of illness among children, who always form a large proportion of the cases under the Nurse's care. Lady Furley, Miss D alton, Miss Du Pre and Lady ,Vatson continue to visit, from time to time, the patients attended by the Nurse. Hospital letters for the admission of patients to the various hospitals in London have been kindly forwarded by 1\1rs. Pitt Draffen, Lady Murray and Sir Dyce Duckworth to the Abnoner and are gratefully acknowledged by him, they have materially helped to give much needed relief to those who would oLherwise be unable to obtain alleviation of their sufferings.

Three or four others,. to the memory of recently deceased Inembers of the Order, WIll be erected early in 1907. After considerable delay the London Uounty Council removed last autumn t~e dilapicl~tecl small houses adjoining the church O~l the south SIde, by whlCh the church wall is now exposed to VIew. The base. and about half-way up to the roof is the original wOl:k of. the I l1lghts of it., John when they erected the choir of th81r Pnory Church (c. 1170), and abovc this are the additions an I a~terations which were made by Prior Docwra, who extensIvely restored the Priory buildings in the reign ot' Iren~'y VII. In more recent times portions of the wall have been con.lderably damaged and afterwards patched up ,,,ith brick work, wIllI. t sevel'allal'o'e openinO', hollowed outin the thickne s of the wall are now to be se n, eyiclcnces of the lll-treatment to which thc building has been subjected. The Archdeacon of London a Chflllaln of the Order, has kindly inter0 'ted him elf about the reprt.irs nccc· ar~ t~ be done, and he hope to obtain a grant frolll the Eccle. la. tlCal ommis ioners to enable the work to be commcnced at an early date.

The last Report mentioned that ten memorials to deceased Members of the Order had been erected in the Chapel of it. John the Almoner, within the Crypt of St. J oh11's Church. During the year 1906 the following have been added to the memory of:SIR VI lOE IT H. B.

At the fooL of this HOpOl'L will be fOllnd the comparative SUl'gicnJ taListiCB for the YOftl" l DO ~ a,nd 1906 whore by it will be at once perceived that tho work lla been heavier than ever,

::md Dr. Cant, in one of his letters, writes "I send the accounts and tatistics for _April. It has been a tremendous lllOntb for work, and the ~1.mount that has presented itself h:1s been considerably beyond Olll' powers to meet-a, condition which will continue till harvest cOlnes." That this work is nppreciated on the spot is shown by the fact that the Patriarch of the Orthodox Greek Church h:1s sent his Arch-priest to the Hospital with :1 don:1tion of £16 to maintain a bed for one ye:1r. The Committee feel that such confidence in the skill of the staff cannot but be a SOLU'ce of satisfaction to all the supporters of the Hospit:1l. During the year that has p:1ssed the agreement with Dr. Bn tIer, the assistant Surgeon, expired, and his place has been tilled by the election of Dr. J. Strathearn. In bidding f:1rewell to Dr. Butler the Committee are glad to oe:1r emphatic testimony to the excellent manner in which his duties have been performed :1nd to the high degree of skill and knowledge he has displayed. It is gratifying to be able to report that during the la, t twelve months the Sublime Porte has granted exemption ()f taxation to the remaining piece of ground which ,vas not. in ·ludc(l in the former Exemption hade. The whole of the property of the Order in Jerusalem is now held tax-free. The tablet to perpetuate the memory :1nd bencfactions of the late Lady Lechmere has been duly erected on the iele wan of the inner court of the Hospital. Mr. A. A. Gordon h:1ving left Edinburgh he resigned the po t of Assistant Hon. Sec. for Scotland, :1ncl H.1\I. the King ha lleen pleased to approve of the appointment of 1\11'. J. Horne tevenson (Unicorn Pursuivant) in his stead. The Hospital continues to be managed on the same economical basis as heretofore, and despite t.be increase in patienLs the expenditure in Jerusalem shows only an increase of £4G-ofwhich £30 are attribu table to the salary of a housekeeper to assist Mrs. Cant now that her duties are so much more onerous than formerly. To the many ladies who have so kindly subscribed for or nlade garments for the patients in the Hospital the best thanks of the Committee are due.

The Committee de~ire to place on record their regret at the bmcnLecl decease of Mr. John Dickson' H .B. 1\iT' Consu 'I f'or. P l' 1.1.. . a cstme, w~lO for many years past had taken a zealous interest III the HospItal and its welfare.

The points gained by the other railway teams were as follows :-Cheshire Lines Committee, 225~; Great "Vestern, 218; North-Eastern, 208; Great Eastern, 201; South-Eastern and Chatham, 196; London and North-vVestern, 195; Alexandra Docks and Railway, I9I~; and Great Central, 182!, In. the Brigade Competition the Dewar shield was won by No. 1.

The points gained by the other competing teams were :-N orthampton district 214; Newport (Mon.), I97t; Nelson (Lancashire) I83! ; Newton Abbott, 173}; and Ilkeston, I70}. Many other competitions have been held during the year for the shields and other trophies which are now generously presented by employers of labour and others, with a view to encouraging not only the passes for certificates, but for keeping up the instruction once attained by frequent meetings for practices and exercises. Among these may be mentioned :-The Furness Railway Directors' shield, won by certificate holder from Barrow ; the annual competition for the Lanca hire [lnd Cumberland section challenge shield of the L. & N.\V.R., held at Morecambe, won by a team from Kendal; the challeno'e shield and prizes in connection with the Leicester Centre, the winners this year being the Edland Railway, \Vigston Division; the shield presented by the Right Hon. J. L. \Vhartol1, P.o., Chairman of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and a member of the Central Executive Committee, for competition alllong the employees of that company, won by a team from Leeds: the challenge shield presented by General Sir Charles arren, G.GM.G., K.GB., for competition among classes in the South Wales coal6.eld, the competition this year taking place at Pentre, in the Rhondda Valley, the shield being won by Ferndale: the shield presented by the Hon. E. L. Wood, of Temple New aIl1, for competition among teams from collieries in the Yorkshire Mines Inspection District, one of the conditions for qualification being, as usual in these competitions, the possession of the certificate or medallion of the Association ; the challenge shield presented by Colonel Sir 0. Wyndham Murray, C.B., the President of the local Centre, for competition among Bath classes; the

Argenta CL1P, one of the most valuable trophies for ambulance work in the kingdom, annually competed for at Blackpool among the ambulance corps in the north of England; this cup being won this year by the Kendal team; the Gala shield offered by the Amalgamated Friendly and Trade Societies of Gl'imsby, the winners being the Great Central Railway; the silver shield presented by Mr. R. D. Bain, Chief Inspector of lines for the Durham district., for competition among classes in the Durhaln coalfield' and the Dublin hallenge Cup, of ancient Irish design and of a pattern peculiar to Ireland, presented Ly Lord Iveagh, for competition among the Irish classes. The foregoing are but a few, selected as typical, among the large number of simila.r presentations. The value of these competitions cannot be over-estimated, as they not only give striking evidence of the importance of a kno'wledge of first aid to the injured, but encourage a healthy emulation and induce candidates for certi6.cates to come forwarcl in far greater numbers. Amono' the important meetinO' held durin o' the year for the pre entation of certificate, medallion, and label ', and for other plll'pO e' connected wlth the As ociation, may be mentioned tho e at (,he u ffolk Agricultural Show, Ipswich, that "Veteran and important l en tre, when the ambulance station Iya ,isited by Her Hio'hnc ~ Prince Loui 'e AuO'u ta of chleswig-Holu U stein; at Bil'lJlinO'ham Leed., 1Ianchestel', al'diff, and heffield, presided over hy the re pcctilTe Lord JIayors, and at Belfa t presided oyer by th Lady Mayore ; at underland, Port mouth, Ip 'wich and onthalupton, presided over by the ~layor re pectivoly ; at the ene1'al Post Ottice, London, ,,,hen the Po tilla terGeneru,l, the Right Hon. ydney Buxton, M.P., pre ented certificates and medallions to cla ses held amon o' the Po t Office employees; at the head-qual'ters of the Ho pital aturday Fund, Grn,y's Inn Road, the pre entation being ulade by Lady Agnes BL1rne, Iaj or-General 'IiI' Owen Burne, G. .I.E. , K.C. .1 ., in the chn.ir·, at Ha ·tino·s by IJll,cly Idina Bra e}T, the Hon.

Raglan, making the presentation; and at Rookesbury P ltrk, R ants, when .Mr. A. R . Lee; M.P., a former Civil Lord of the Admiralty 1 drew attention to the magnificent work done by the Brigade during the late war in South Africa. At the meeting at Portsmouth above referred to an interesting address was delivered by .Mr. Ba.ldwyn Fleming, an Inspector of the Local Government Board, who spoke with experience of the way in which the valuable work performed by the Association had been brought to the notice of himself and of many others connected with POOl' Law administration, especially as regards the training, given at Portsmouth and elsewhere, of the nursing staff connected with '\Vorkhouse Infirmaries. Other notable meetings have been at Reading, for presentations by Lady Carrington, and at Mardy, in the Rhondda Valley, eloquent tribute to the work of the Association being borne by Mr. ,\Villiaru Abraham, M.P. C' Mabon "). Mr, Abraham expressed his admiration of the humanitarian work performed by ambulance men, and stated that many times he and his fellow-agents and check-weighers had seen comrades lying crushed and maimed, bleeding slowly to death , yet while desiring to do something to alleviate their sufferings, had feared to do so owing to their want of knowledge of first aid. He was truly thankful that they had got beyond that sLage now. On the occasion of the visit of their Maj es ties the King and Queen to N ewcasLle-on-Tyne in July, the most satisfactory ambulance arrangements were made through the Deputy-Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the district. So excellent were the arrangements that it has been decided to print the local instructions as a specimen for general in£orn1ation of what can be done for the safety of the public by the Brigade on such occasions.

" Membel's of divisions and nurses will parade for duty on the 11th " July, 1906, at the Castle Square at the north end of the High Level " Bridge at 9 a.m. , "Medical officers must be equipped with surgical dressing cases, , haversac, and water bottle.

Large numbers of classes continue to be held for the benefit of the County Constabulary and Borough Police Forces, and the l\Ietropolitan Police of London. A London Coroner, Dr. F. J. 'Val do, lately remarked that in his experience invaluable service was rendered to the public by the police in the lDatter of first aid. In October, the Chief Constable of Leeds stated that 547 members of his Force were actually in possession of certificates or medallions, and 60 were undergoing training; at l\Ianche tel', the Chief Constable stated that with few exceptions all the members of his Force, apart from recruits, had either pas 'ed the t. John examination or were attending a course of instruction, ancl that nearly 3,000 cases of sudden illness or accident in the streets had received prompt and proper help at the hands of policemen during the year, the average number of persons requiring first aid in the streets of Manchester exceeding 2,000 a year for many years past. In a current report of the Comnlissioner for the City Police of London, it is statecl that the accidents caused by horses and vehicles in the city numbered 1,330, involving six deaths. In this Force the possession of the St. John certincate is a sine q1&a non for membership, and the following interesting case has been reported to the Central Executive Comlnittee by the Commissioner, Captain J. ,V. Nott Bower, who is one of its members.

"The House •'urgeon, Guy's Hospital, states that P. O. Tinkler " was brought in with simple fracture of shin. He slipped off the " kerb in Borough High • treet, breaking his leg, but called upon the (( bystanders for pieces of wood and handkerchiefs with which he applied "ji?'St (I i(l to himself; putting his leg in splint.', and then getting a " bystander to . ummon a .Jletropolitan Police litt r in which he was " carried to the hospital. The House . 'urgeon states the first aid was " skilfully applied and probably prevented a compound fracture."

Consequent on the enormous quantity of traffic in the :Metropolitan n.ron. the increase in the number of street accidents appears to be steadily progressive. As reported by the :Jletropolitan Police, these acccidents amounted in 1891 to 4,766. In 1901 they ren.ched 7,995, an increase of n. little over 42 per cent. in ten yen.rs. In 1903 they amounted to 10,363, an increase of over 26 pel' cent. in two years; and, of t.he 10,363, 154 were fatal. ome interesting figures were furnished by the Home Secretary, in roply to a question in the I-Iouse of lommons, as to the accident, 1,017, caused by vehicle in the month of October last in the street of London, inyolving per onal injury, 11 were caused by motor-omnibuses, 123 by motor car and motorcycle ', 13 - , by lllCchn.nically-propelled tramcars, 23 by hor edra,Yn tralllcn.rs, 44 by horse-c1rn.wn omnibuses, and 571 by other 1'ehicles. Of the 11 fn.tn.l accidents in the sanle month three "ere caused by motor-omnibuses, two by motor-car, one by a mechanically-propelled tramcar, one by a hoI' e-clrawn omnibu , and foul' by other horse-drawn vehicles. In N o1'e111bor there ,'-ere 42 n.ccic1ents invol1'ing per onal injury. Of these 1 were cau ed by motor-omnibuses, by lllotor-cars, 11 by mechanically-propelled tramcars, 15 by horso-drn.wn tralllcar , 43 by horse-drn.,yn omnilm os, and 407 by other vehiches. The fn.tal accidents numbered 23. Two were Cfmsed by motor-omnibu e , three by lllo~or-car , one by n. mechn.nically-propelled tramcar, and 17 by hoI' e-dra wn vehicles. These fio'ures show the n.bsolute necessity for the exten ion of the 8treet Ambulance ervice, and that every encouragement should be o'iven to the efforts of the member of the l\letropolitan Streets Ambulance Association n,nd others who for so long a time past hn.ve been porsistently moving in thi direction. The great increase in motor trn,ffic of n,ll kinds involves a C01'1'e ponding incren. e in the danger to which pedestrin.n arc liable; and

though it is true that first aid may frequen tly be rondered on the spot, it is admitted by the most competent judge, the H ospital physicians and surgeons of London, that there is great room for improvement in the mode of conveying the inj ured. Many communications to the press on this subject have been addrossed by the President of the above Association, 111'. Reginald Harrison, F.R.e.S., and though it is satisfactory to record that a praiseworthy beginning has been made in the City itself by the provision of an electric ambulance carriage of an excellent pattern, and the contemplated provision of some fifty fir ,t aiel boxes in various parts of the City area, much stillromains to be done in the other portions of the Metropolis, which are Dot under the control of the City Police Authorities. The Departmental Committee appointed by the Home Secretary to enquire into cc existing facilities" for dealing with the cases of accident and sudden illness in the streets has been non1inated none too oon. When it is remembered that the first individun,l into who e hands the injured person in the street is likely to fall i the Police Constable, and that in the lIetropoliLan area it i ,tated that from 250 to 300 Constables are so severely handled overy year that they have to be kept upon the sick list for more than a week, many of them receiving injuries of a permanent character, the importance of a knowledge of first aid to policemen is too obvious to require demonstration. A valuable article inreferenco thereto, pointing out that owing to the continuous endeavours of the St. John Ambulance Association nearly the whole of the Police Forces had receivecl instruction in rendering first aid to the injured, lately appeared in an issue of the Lancet.

" The Singleton chair was u sed on five occasions, and its use greatly "facilitated the removal of injured men when accidents occurred in " places difficult of egress on board the vessels. " There were fifty injuries to the head and face ~ seven of injuries to "the trunk; 109 of injuri s to the upper limbs; including one of "fractm'ed ann; three of fractured forearm, and four of fractured cc fingers; forty-eight of injuries to the lower limbs, including two of cc fracture of the thigh, two of fracture of the leg and one of a fractured "toe. rrhere were also tw lye cases of burns, but of the 228 cases thus " enumerated it is satisfactory to record that in only twenty-two of " th m wa,,' it npce sary to use the wheeled litter to convey them to the " hospital. cc In thl'e instances the injured men were in the employment of other firms having contracts in the Yard. " The total number of cases attended during the year amounted to cc 2:31, an increa.'e of 39 compared with the previou,' year.

In the railway world the same interest is displayed. in the progress and extension of ambulance classes, and ~he Dlfe.ctOl~ and high officials take every opportunity of ShOWll~g th81r Sll1cero interest in the training of the staff.

servants killed by accidents connected with the movement of railway vehicles has shown a downward movement during the past first years, yet the aggreo'ates for the whole of last year show that from all causes 1,100 persons were killed, and 6,4GO injured, as compared with 1,073 I1nd G, 89 respectively in 1904. The number of passengers killed in 1905 was 148,as against 115 in 1904, and 2,36 were injured in 1905, as compared with 2,669 in the previous year, a sufficien tly large proportion to prove that without a kno,dedo'e of what to do in the event of a railway catastrophe o-reat suftering aHd probable los of life would be the result . The appointment of a Royal Conllllis ion) under the preidency of Lord 1\lonks,Yell, to enquire into an 1 l' port on certain questions rebtin o' to the health and safety of miners and the administration of Lhe Mines Act, has called attention to the imperative nece sity of all colliers and miners recoiving instruction in 61' t aid Lo the injured, and this ha been emphasised by tho str ss which ha. been bid by mining authorities upon the ilUl) rtance of men who are eno'no'ed in thi ' dano'eron occnl)a" v Lion 1)ein o' competent not only to render fir t aid, but in being specially trained in what is now known a!:) " 1'0 cue work," and the 11 '0 of life aYino' apparatu '. This pecial Lrainino' had been advocatorl as far back as tho y ar 189 ,and at a mo ting of the 'outh "oral ' and 1\1 0 n1l1 uth hire Mining Education Board, II'. Dayid ayie.', M.P., the PI' id nt, stated thnt he had personally experienced the difticulty from the want of information necosf-iary for penotl'alin o' the working of' min niLer explo iOllS, e pecially when a manaO'er and hi sn bordinale officials had be n killed or il~ur d. There wa already, he tatcd, a lnro'e number of amuubnce cla es held in the coalfield, bl!t there wa a general opinion that there hould be an oro'ani ation of 11 nnmber of practical workmen andrepail'Ol" , TIrOllJen, oyermen, and manag l' 'rho had pa ' eel the 'to John Ambulance A ociation cour e, and hould be trained to know the plan of the yurion collierie . . , how to put up 'heet and timber, [lncl apply oxyo·en. 1\11'.

establishment of a trained unit of the St.. John Ambulance Brigade at every colliery in the coalfield there 'was an ea ily available means of carrying this object into practical effect amongst the workers employed in the mines, quanies, and other indu tries a ociated therewith. The outcome has been the formation of a league for the South ,Vales District similar to that already formed in Yorkshire, in both cases with the cordial cooperation of H.M, Inspectors of Mines. The question of a funher increase of these leagues has been under consideration of the National A sociation, and frequent attention has been called to the value both of the Association's training, and of the cnmpetitions to promote efficiency, in the Coal Mines inspection report ' fOl: the year 1905. It is stated that, owing to the hearty snpport gn'cll by the delegates representing every section of the coalfield, the progress made by the St, J oln Alnbulance Association in thi' direction would seem to hold much hope for the future, At au inquest held in the Durham Infirmary in Augu ,t last on the Lod:v of a miner, who had received injuries while workin c)' in a pit at Brandon, a letter was read from the manager of the pit, '1\'110 spoke of the practical benefit the ambulance lllOyement h8d been in the accident. There were six certificated allllmlance men on the scene without delay, and they improvised a Louruiquet with a stone and handkerchiefs, and by applying a 1l1uftier stopped the bleeding from the femoral artery. They made splints of brattice deals, and they tied up the leg with scarves and baitpokes, One of the men tore up his shirt to lllake a Lanc1age. Hot coffee from one of the men's bottles was given to the injured man, and what was left was kept in the bottle and applied to his body. Although he had to l:w carried on a stretcher a mile and a half to the bottom of the shaft, the patient reached hOlllG within an hour of the accident. The Coroner said they eoulcl not have a Inore striking illustration of the value of awbulance work amongst tbe miners. The LUVOUT Gazette, published by the Board of Trade, . tates that the number of deaths from industrial accidents reported ill 1905 was 4,375, a total gre~'\,Ler Ly GOO than that for 190-1, and by 121 than the mean yearly number taken over the five years 1901-1905.

It is gratifying to the Committee to have been the mea,ns, by the publica,tion of its text book on this most importa,nt subject for the benefit of members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and of the Ar.my at large, of calling attention to the nee.d of knOlvledge .of a, subject the neglect of which has indisputa,bly In most cn.mpa,lgns l~d to a terrible loss of life, and frequently to dea,ths frOl11 dlsea,se ,vhich might have been averted. The importance. of a, coglla,te subject, viz., the training i~ a. knowle.clge .of hyglene, has 10~0' been advocated by the AssocmtIOn, whlCh mtroduced a. specla,l syllabus on this subject several. years ago, a~d lS very desirous that the number of classes mstructed therem should be considerably increased. At the instance of some 111embers of the Cape Town Centre of the Associat~on, and w~t~ the a,pprova~ of the local branch of the British l\1edlCal AssocmtIOn, a resolutIOn advocating the inclusion of this subject in the curriculum of ~ll Government aided schools in the Colony was recently passed In the Honse of Assembly, and will, it is anticipated, be p~'oduc tive of very good effect. In Cana,da, with the exceptIO~l ~f two provinces, the teaching of hygiene is compl:lsory, :l,S It IS also in Australia, while in the United States of Amenca the teaching of the subject is even more strict.

by the Board of Education, for the teachinO' of hygiene and b temperance for the ::;cholars attending the public elementary schools, and sta,ted tha,t the ten.chers themselves might take up hygiene and temperance as a,n optional subject. - Having regnrd to the opinion expressed by these eminent authorities, it is grea,tly to be desired thnt the centres and branches of the Associa,tion will in future lllnke every effort to promote the formation of classes for instruction in the hygiene syllabus, for which course the Hea,d OfHce ha,s, it is to be regretted, issued less than 100 certiticates during the past year, not,vith ,tanding the fact tha,t it can now be ta,ken a::; part qualification for the III cbJlion.

Many long road journeys ,vere also made. Special attention has, as heretofore, been given to patients of small means. The horses and carriaO'es as far as the TranslJol't Servicfl permittod, have again h ' been used in connection with the more illlportant public dutios performed by No.1 District, St. John Ambulance Brigade, during the year.

It has been br?ught to the notice of the Committee by the Boarel of Trade that It ha,s under consideration the desirability of Officers in the "Mercantile Marine obtaining a knowledO'e of first aid to the inj.ured, and it ha~ been decided that this k~10wledge shrtll be reqmred of all candIdates going up for a certificate of competency as master 01' lnate £01' the first time. The 1st of January, 1908, is the date on which it is proposed t.hat this new requirement shall come into force, and the Committee is making fUTano-ements for the provision of this instruction on a more extended scale than has hitherto been possible, owing to the short time in which ships belonging to the Ierchant Service remain in port. In an address delivered by Mr. James Cantlie, F.R.C.S., one of the oldest members of the Medical Staff, at the Commemoration proceeding of the Livino'stone College, held at the London School of Tropical Jledicine, attention was drawn to tbe great -ralue of a knowl edge of til' t aid to the injured not only to Missionaries, but to all of tho e who are about to take up re idence, or to travel in the olonie or other 1 lace abroad, "where medical men are few anll1:al' hetween. The Jecturer stated that he "wished a law (;ould be pel 'ed that an embargo should be put upon every ship - 111 barkin()' a l\li sionar,)' who did not IJossess such knowledo'e o , and uch a remark i equally applicable to all travellers who ha\'e not been adequately train d in the ubjects "which are taught by the A. ociation. It i gratif)'ing to report that the ,york of the Ambulance Departmont i · carried on with continued and increa inn' vio'our in all parts of the Briti h Dominions beyond eftS, e. pecially in outh Africa, where the J ohanne burg Centre has been reformed, and in eylon, lately vi itecl by H.B.

DU~CAN MEMORIAL AMBULANCE STATION (,Vest India Dock).-

The total number of persons who received assistance at this station during the yea,r was 344, an increase of 63, making a grand total of ] ,696 ca,ses since the station was opened in its present position. ST. PAUL'S A~IBULAN CE STATIO~.-During the year 5 5 persons have been treated at this station, an increase on the previous year of 53, making a grand total to chte of 5,949. Members of No. 1 District, St. John Ambda,nce Brigade, have as usual been on duty at all the more ilnportant services held in the Cathedra,l and on each Sunday throughout the year. The Committee has to acknowledge with gratitude a testamentary bequest of £250 to the ~ orthampton Centre by the late Mr. William Rae, L.R. c.P., M.R.C.S., of N ol'thampton. Considering the large amount of benefit conferred on the public at large by the Association and the frequent need for funds on a, large scale to carryon the work of the Brigade, the Bearer Con1panies, and the Auxilia,ry Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve, it is much to be regretted such a good example is not more widely followed. There has been an increase ill the number of classos for seafaring men, especially through the agency of the Missions to Seamen, in the ports of London and tho Mersey, a,nd through the encouragement afforded by the Chairman and Directors of the Hoyal Mail Stel1m Packet Company at Southampton.

" "When, on the 1 th :JIarch, 1~01, a publi~ meeting was held, in the "Calcutta Town Hall, to inaugurate tbe Incha,n Branch o~ .the t.

"Viscount Kitchenel' at the same time accepted the po t of Pre,·ident. of " the Central Committee, and for the last two years has taken a,n actl\-e "and leading part in its work. "When Lord Curzon created a Central Committee, he elected ~he "Vice-Presidents and members of it with due I'egard for the yUle whIch ( they were expected to play: On that Comm~ttee aye represented a~ a « reference to the report ,vill how, the natIve prlllce of the In~lut1~ ( Empire the three areat sections, Hindu, :Jlohammedan, and ParI of "the population of °India, the H,ailways, the Volunteers, th l)olice, th ":JIilitaryand Civil "Medical f 'er,>J.ce', the Imperial 'erYlce troop ') t~le H Uhurch and the Mis ions, the Ci Yil 'ervice, and the Army. There I , "unfortunately, good reason to surmise tha,t, amid the pre 'sUl'e of "onerous official dutie ', the interests and needs of th f 'to ~ ohn " Ambulance Association have been overlooked by the repl' entatlves. « The Native f'tates, the chiefs and ofticial~ of which can, if they "choo e do more than anyone to make ambulance work of real value to « India 'are making little or no progress.

They were given the same opportunitie, at the "outset, but they have l:-Ot u ed them. Each railw~y in ~ndi.a should have "its own challenge ~hleld, and selld the team \YhICh \YlllS It to .T abalpul' " to compete for the shield presented by H.R.H. the Umncl.

A challenge shield for the Indian Police ha,' not ~Tet (( been provided, but once the Pro,incial competition ' m'e in titutecl I (( am confident that the shield for all India "will follow, if it i . considered (( desirable to have one. The knowledge and practice of fir,' t aiel should "surely foster discipline and humanene s among the native rankR of " the police.; and I think that all who know India well will agree tha,t (( these two qualities need to be fostered. " vVe hear nothing of first aid instruction among the Imp -rial f 'ervice (( troops, although they are maintained by the N ati ve I ' tate~ ; and it i~ to « the l' ati ve States that the St. J olm Ambulance As.'ocia,tion loob as one "of its finest field, of work.

At the "present moment the J aipur Tran 'port Corps embodies the be .. t irregular "ambulance contingent in India. If the other Native f'tates would (( follow the example set by :Jlajor Dhanpat TIai in J aipur, Indict would " ere long possess as fine an ambulance reserve as could be desired. (( I have appealed on several occasions to the C.l\I.8., the Y.:JI. i.A, and (( Y.W.C.A. to take up fir t aid and nursing instl'uction systematically, (( and to organise ambulance and nursing corps Gtnd di \'isions throughout

The various units not only in the United Kingdom, but also in His M[>"jesty's Dominions beyond Seas, are in a flourishing and efficient state, and those members of them who form the Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve and Bearer Companies of the Army are keeping in touch with the duties they ll1ay be called upon to perform in the case of national emergency. GratifYing reports of the progress of this Branch of the Ambulance Department are received from all sources, and it is satisfactory to place on record the fact that the praiEeworthy work done at home by the Brigade is being emulated and followed in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and it is hoped that in the neal' future the Army in the Empire of India may also have Reserves from the Brigade to rely upon should their ervices at any time be required.

the Oentral Executive not to place on record its sense of the aid afforded by the Honorary 'ecretaries and others connected with detached cln.sses, and not least by its co-adjutators in the Greater Britain beyond the eas, who are sparing no effort to make the ",;ark of the Association known and extended wherever the English language is spoken.

making a grand total to 30th September, 1906, of 6 7,449. The number of medallions issued to date has been 10.f.,3 G, and of labels 2,838. vVhen the institution of the bbel, only introduced last year, becomes more widely known this number must be very considerably increased, as all medallion holders are eligible on passing the necessary first aid examination. In conclusion the Oommittee desires to record its grateful thanks to the Committees of the many Centres established, especially to some of those who have been the longest registered, as for instance the Middlesborough and Cleveland Centre, which has now had 339 classes with a Inembership of 10,170, and the Dundee Centre, formed in 1884, which during the past session has held twenty-two classes with a membership of nearly GOO candidates, and many others, both at home and abroad, for their long continued and most greatly appreciated assistance, which, it is fully recognised, must have entailed considerable labour on the Executive and others of every grade. It would be ungrflclOus also for

~he .Oommittee desires once more to reiterate its deep sense of

obho'atlOn to the nlem bel'S of the Medical Profession for their freely rendered invaluable co-operation, without which the work of the As ociation for the benefit of suffering humanity could never have been carried to a successful issue, and which has frequently received, as it deserves, from H.R.H. the Grand Prior and the 'hapter-General the expression of a deep and lasting gratitude.

Interest in the ambulance movement in the Oentre area continues to be well maintained. Classes of I nstruction have been held as usual, also re-examination as indicated. A ne\v departure has been followed in a cour1:'e of Rome H) giene. Twenty add itional surgical havresacs have been distributed gratis to mills, etc., dnring the year, n~aking 122 of such articles now in use. They are maintained hy the Accrington Corps, S.J.A.B. Practically every mill and workshop in the entre's area have been so supplied within the last six years, and the distribution is much appreciated by workpeople.

The instruction by this Oent.re has been mainly the formation of a section at South Willes borough for women. One COUl'se o[ lectures for first aid and one for lllU'sing have been held, with the result that 11 gained first aid certificates, and 14 gaincd certificates. The Bricrade has ncrain Llone excellent work , 25 removals . 11111'Sillg b O O 11avlllg eell snccessfully 1111(lcrtakell. The great need of a propel' ambulance wagon [or the nse of the Oentre and 011t.lyi11g districts has long been felt, and teps are now being tnkpn to obtain the money necessary for the pUl'cilase ot' the same. .d. special cn,ll 1'01' funds will have to be made and it is hoped that the amount wia easily he forthcoming.

AKNUAL HEPORT.

This Oentre continues to make satisfactory progress. A men's class has l,een h eld durinO' the year and was well attended. The examination ,,-hich took place in D ~cen~ber la t was held by SUl'geon-:Jlajor Hutton, who aftel'\yards complimented the men upon their skill in attending to various supposed injuries. A large number of minor accidents in and around the collieries have been successfully treatcll during tbe year. New classes for both men and women are now being formed.

AN UAL REPORT. During the past year the Cen tre has sustained a loss by the death of the li:Lte Secretary, Mr. James Haw orth, who ball been acti vely engaged in ambulance work since the formation of the Centre in 1885. Since October last 102 men and women h ave compl eted a course of iu strllctiun ill either first aid or nursing with the result that 72 cprtificaies and 14. rnec!alliom; have been issned. The annual Review and Oompetition in connedion with the J ol'th East Lancashire Corps and Divisions of the Brigade was heltl in this town in JUlle and would, no doubt, have the effect of bringing the work of the Association and Brigade before the public.

'V. Bird, )LB., J. Hoyle, l\f.R.C.S., L.H.C.P., J. S. IVilson, l\f.B. ANNUAL REPORT. Th e Centre is still in a flourishing condition . During the past year, one male first aid and one male nnrsing class have been held with markell success. Practices continue to be well attended, the ladies being especially energetic in this l'espect. The competition for the Tunstall Memorial Challenge Shield was Leld in July, Crompton being the winners. The competition was however not a financial success, through (levoting so much time in working for a good resnlt from a competitor's point of view, we perhaps neglected the financial side of the aO'air. It is gratifying to report the fact that during the year our esteemed Chairman, Mr. I V. IVebstor has received the distinction of Honor!:Ll'Y Serving Brother of the Order of St. John of J ernsalem in recognition of his long and energetic service in connection with the ambulance movement. He has also, as Superintendent in tbe St. John Al1loubnce Brigade, rp.ceived the Service Medal for 15 years long and efficient service in the Brigade.

ANNUAL REPOHT. During the year little interest has been manifest.'d in ambulance ,,"ork, wllich is greatly to be regretted as the work is really philanthropic in its nature and a know ledge of it is of inestimable benefit to everyone. In order to induce the COllll1lUllitv to take greater iuterest in the "ork, it is propo"ed to hold a public m eet illft at which a special ~ectUl'er wil~ adv.ocate the claims o[ this work of mercy Oll the l~l1blic and the peculIar benefits It hnngs to them . Several cla ses \yere held dl1l'il1(f the year some of them were attendeLl uy a fail' number of students but few of the~e entered for the examination .

A "NU AL REPORT. Fi ve classes n-ere held during the session with an average attendance of 30 mem bel'S. The question of providing horse or motor ambulances for the eonyeyance of injured persons is under the consideration of the Oommittee. The terrible catastrophe at the Oourrieres Oollieries has directed atten tion to the question of rescne and life-saving apparatus. The subject has been before the Oommittee and, although nothing definite has been clone, there seems to be :J. consen us of opinion that the Oentre might very properly include in its cUl'ri(;ulum the training of members in the usc of such apparatus,

Lord Provost Longair 'a id that the "Dundee Centre" h:-\,(l now been in existence 22 years, and its usefulness and popularity seemed to increase 'with its years. During the rast session no fewer than 22 classes had been belli under the auspices of the" Centre," and that meant that in Dundee and Distriet between five and six hundred persons had been taught amlJulance \l'ork. It \\,:LS impossible to over estiulate on humane grounds and for practical purpo es tlle utility of such training, and in that cOllnection they felt greatly indebted to Drs. Lennox and Greig for their p1'ofes ional eryices a judges of the competition . The Town Council had yoted £25 per annum from the local Taxation Grant for this work, and he felt that there wa& not a penny better f;pellt than that £25. Mrs. Longair thereafter presented the hield and Badges to the winl1ing teams; nnd on the motion of Colonel Hill, Lord Provost Longair and Mrs. Longair \\'ere cordially than ked, a the proceedings terminated . At the Aminal Meeting of the Executive \lbCommittee, held on 1st J\fay, 1906, the annual report and accounts were read by the Secretary. Dr. Geo, Halley, the Chnirmnn, in mOl'ing the adoption of the rcport and accounts, thanked the doctors \\'ho had a sisted them during the past year; the Towl1 Council for £25 voted ont of the" Local Taxation Grant," 1904--5 ; the Tru 'tees of tile Drill Hall for the use of the Hall; and Mr. Emslie T o. t.

A TNUAL HEPORT. D uring the past year the work of the branch has co~tinued. to progress mo~t satisfactorily, and another very successful class was held III Ecklllgton . T here IS now a very large uumber of men capable of rendering first aid in cases of emergency. On several occasions lately, medical men and others concerned have borne testimony to the valnable work promptly tione by ambulance men who 11ave gone throucrh the cla:::ses, when accidents have occurred. The "'ork of the Association deser~es 1110re support from the public thau it receives. The Committee wishes to place on rc('oro it thanks and appreciation of the work of the Hon. Surgeon, Dr. ,Vest Jones, and of its Hon. ecretary, :Mr. Robert Dumbleton for their invaluable sen'iees for so many years. At the annual meeting, it was reluctantly felt neee. sary to secure another President ill the place of ir George R. Sit\\'el1, Bart., whose fl'clluent absences abroad ma(le it impossible for hil:1 to tak~ the act.ive intere t in the lwanch he used to do . The branch has been fortunate 111 secunng the services of J. H. Wells, Esch J.P., " 'ho ha manifested con::,icleralJle interest in the Centre for a louer lime. It was C(tually fortunate to secure the services of G. tCYCIl;;Oll, Esch ofthe Manor, Eckingtol1, us Chairman. He has always taken.a personal interest in the Cen tre, and has beeu a generous and &ympathetlC supporter.

AN KUAL REPORT . T he Centre has had an extremely useful and prosperous yenr. It has again had the honour of receiving royal congratulations. Its tent at the Sufl'olk Agricultural Show was honoured by a visit from Her Highness Princess Louise Augusta of Schleswig-Holstein. Her H ighness "'as pleased to express hcr be t wishes for the succe s of the Centre . One case was under the care of the medical staff and ambulance men for over four hours, and the man would prolJably have died but for the care taken of him. Eight classe have been helJ, many going through cIa ses in order to gain labels. About 80 have been gaineJ by the Centre this year. The two ambulance carriages have been in constant u e aud have moved 207 cases Lhis year as against 195 last year. The Transport nperintenrlent had to superintend a removal to lIIanche tel', and one of the carriages was takcn by train to orwich, to move a lady from house to house (about four miles) there being no ambulance service in that city. Besides this, the carriages have travelled hnnclred. of miles in an Ll rounel Ipswich, to move patients to hospitals or nursing homes. Men frolll three Divisions of the Ips\yich Corps, The First, Social Settlement and Orwell ,York, are unremitting in helping the transport work, which is the great feature of this Centre. Funds have come in well this year, and the debt on head-quarters has been diminished .

F.R.C.s.

' Ve desire ill the first place to Tecord with the dE'epest possible regret the death of Dr. J . IV. Dryland, one of the most de\'otedmcmlJers of onr medical and teaching staff, and for upwarLls of twenty years the strength and stay of the ambulance movement in the to\yn and district. The past year has been a time of quiet and <:!teady work . Ele\'en classes haye been held in the lO\Yll and locality-viz., for Illeu, four first aid and one nl1l'sing; for women, fonr first aid, two nursing classe. . The Oounty Education Committee ha ,e, for financial reasons, made such stringent rule .. with regard to grants towards am lmlauce classes that their num bel' will Le cOllsiclera 1)ly reduced in future. It is sati factory to feel that all possiLle advantage has been taken of these grants in past years, and that they lun'e been the means of firl1lly establishing the movement throughont the eli trict comprised in the Kettering Centr e. The Brigade and ~ ursing Division have been l1erioclically strengthencd ill a vcry gratifying way by men and \yomen who have pOl,scd through the cIa.' es. Tll!~ continued development of machinery in the factories of tbe town and <li hict involves a certain percentage of accidents-more or Ie . serious, and the services of' our Brigade men and nursing sisters are in frcf[ucnt requi 'ition, and highly appreciated. lYe should, however, welcome an inc!'ea:;e of financial help.

We baye aaain to record a gratifying increa e in th e number of classes, ~6 fir~t -aid and 6 mu? ing cIa es having been held. The prospects of al~1bulallcc work ll1 th e Colliery Districts in which this Centre has always taken al~ ~chve part, are very bright, an impetus having been giyen to the work by a com petltJon arranged for by the Inspector of Mines of the District. Although clll:s~es l~ave b e~ h~ld at many collieries during the 30 years thi Oentre has been ll1 eXIstence, It IS of course desirable that the train ed men hould be kept up to the mark by some means, and a competition should achieve this object, as \yell as imluce more men ~o t!lke up ~he work. The eyening schools have d?ne usef~11 work, a~lcl the ystematlc lU truc.tlO.n of the police and tramwaymell sitU contmues. ,"Vlth regal'll to the Jat~er It IS possible more might be clone, there are a l~rge numher of tramway employes but a small percentage only hold ambulance certificates. The thanks of the Celltr~ are again clue to Mcssrs. J. C. Kirk & on, chartered accountants, who ha,e kllldly audited the accounts.

The Com lIli ttee again reconl the ;-alna ble scnices rendered by the members of the illetlical Profe,,'ion in the in truction of the e cIa es, and their thanks arc al'o tellllerel1 to tho 'C ladies alHl gentlemen who haye been instrumental in the fOl'ffi'ltiOll amI working of the cla'ise', amI to tht! member of the Corp, both men and nursing 'i ·ter , who so readily gaye their as_i 'tance to the Lecturer in thc practical work. r1'he Centre ha .'l1taillcll a se\'cre 10. by the Jnmcnted Lleath of Mr. John Cooper (an Iloll.

bered . The Committee are plea ed to report that his son, 1111'. J Ohl1 Bruce Cooper, has kindly consented to accept the vacant Chairmanship. The death of 11'. vVm. Rae, who ,vas a subscriber to the funds of the Centre for many years, is also much regrettell. Mr. Rac has shown his interest in ambulance work by bequeat.hing a legacy of £250 to the Association for the u e of this Centre. This mark of approval from a medical practitioner who had many opportunities of obserYing the work of the Association and Corps is "ery encouraging and is much appreciated. The 'ommittee would again dnw attelltion to the useful work done by the Corps during the year, as appearing from its report. The Transport work in particular is ·teadily increasing and demands the expenditure of much time al1(l attention, and great praise is due to those Oflicers and men who so ungrudgingly devote their time (sometimes whole days) to this branch of the work. The large number of cases of first aid rcndered during the year is a further proof (if Olle were needed) of the value of ambulance work to the community. The Committee have again to thank Messrs. Hughes and C . for providing ollice accommodation and other assistance, the Govel'l1ol's of the Northampton General Hospital for the use of lhe Out-Pt1tiellts' Buildillg, Mr. F. H, Mardlin for another kind donation of £5 towards the tca givcn to the mellon the oc-casion of the Annual Cup Competition, and Mr. G. \V. Gordon for his services as Auditor.

REPORT,

It is with pleasul'e that t!:le Committee present their twenty-second annual report. 'rhe work of the Centre has been carried on stea(lily and with satisfactory result. I t seems tolerably certain that not many days ever paRS in this 110pnlon am1 bu y neighbourhood without first aid being rendered by some of our students to persons who have snstainerl injury either at their ellJploj'll1ent or at home. A a natural consequence the importance of am bulanee work is increasingly realised by the public. We have had few changes in our medical starr. We greatly value the services of those who kindly continue to act as honorary lecturers, and we offer them our cordial thanks. The duties, too, of the class secretaries have been well fulfilled and merit our gratitude. T o the Honorary Auditor Mr. F. 0een, C.A., we also tender sincere thanks. and the same are dne to many who have worked in various ways. Once more we record with much appreciation and gratitucle the aule and persevering work of Mr. Sydney ,V. Malkin, our H onorary ecrctul'Y, whose exertions are beyond all praise.

Wharf Street, hearing the shout, at once ran to the place, and (with assistance) was successful in rcaehing the lad, who was to all appearance dead-rigid, cold, and white. ,Yith commendab le zeal, hOlYe"e1', the constable determined to resort to artificial re. piration, aud alter some COIl iderable eITol't the boy showcd ::;igns of animation. By steadily perscvering in this task he had the satisraclion of seeing the lad fully recover his breathing powers. He was taken home, and immetliately afterwarns Dr. Adams was c:tllccl ill, \\'ho saill the lad undonbtedly owed his life to the praiseworthy cfi'orls of the police·oIllce!'. The Committee aga,in desire to express their gratitucle to the mcdical staff-Dr. Brown amI Dr. Fry-for their continued devotion and yall1aule services in instrucling the students. 'Vithollt their assistance certificates and medallions could not have been obtained . During the year the Committee 11al'e suffered the loss of Mr. Tolley as Secretary to the A~sociatioll . It was with great reluctance that they ac;cepted his resignation. He has rendered very nlllabJe as istflnce lIming a period of fhe years ill that office. We hope that though he has retired from active senice hc willl10t 10 e his interest in the am bnlallce w ork. The students and ufficers desired to show their apprcciation of his cffol ts by prc. euting to him a gold mounte(l walkilJg- tick, suital.dy inscriueel. Dl1l'ing the year we are plea ed to say a nursing corps and an ambulance brigalle have been formed and duly regi .. teret1, and we hope they will give a great stil1ltllus to the amuulallce cause in Sowerby Bridge. In conclusion, the Committee beg to tender their thanks to all subscribers and friend who have in any way helpet1 011 the work, a11el hope that the future classes may be as successful as those of the past.

AN JUAL REPORT. T~le Committee b::n~e pleasure iu presenting its allnual rellOlt of the work done durmg the past seSSlOU by the Sunderland Centre. The Oommittee regrets that there has been a slight falling off ill the number of students examined. It must not, 11Owever, be forgotten that several attend the cIa es who do not sit for the examinations. This is to be regretted, as credit is only given for those examined . Alt~gethel', 248 students ,"ere examined this year. Of these, 144 obtained first year cer~lfieates, 48 second year vonehers and 36 medallions. Probably owing to the eXCItement of tbe General Election, the number of teams entered [or the Addison Oh allenge Oompetition was much fewer than usual. The Final Tie was held in t h e Large Hall of the Y.M. O.A., kinuly lent by the Oommittee, a large number of

ANNUAL REPORT. So ver y marked has been the progress of the work of the Tew outh Wales Centre during the past year that the Executive Committee, in presenting to the members the Sixteenth Annual Report, fee l justified in adding that in their opinion the expansion of first aid knowledge amongst the public will, in the near future, necessitate special efforts bei ng made to place this Oentre as an organization on a permanent footing, with a home of its own, and in connection with that movement they feel sure that the nobility of the cause and aims of the St. John Ambulance Association will commend itself to the pu blic for liberal support. T he year just closed has been a busy and most successful one with this Centre and many encol1l'aging requests for in, trnction have reached the Committee from localities outside Jew South Wales. With increased revenue the Committee have been able to accept reduced fees in many instances, and, as a consequence, the average number of members enrolled in classe has lJeen much larger than hitherto. During the year 53 first aid and home nm ing classes have been held. 'l'his number represents an increa. e of] 6 cIa ses OYer the preceding twelve months. 10] 9 men and women ha,-e attended a full course of iUEtl'Uction in connection with these classes, making a total of 11,242 in trllctcd since the formation of the New , onth Wales Centre. Of the 11n111ber attending the classes dming the past year 725 have gained certificates, 59 re-examination vouchers, alld 42 qualified for the medallion. Most gratifying results ha\'e been accomplished in the dIrection of ell' Branches as will be seen from the following summary:SYD~EY HAltBOUH Tm;:-;T.-The Commis ioners of the Sydney Harbour T rust govern a large body of employees, many ofwhol11 are likely to be called upon at any time to render assistance in cases of accitlent on the water.

St. J ohn A ?nbulance Association.

The memters of the Staff of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, who man the ambulance van and are holders of St. John Ambulance Certificates, have rendered first aid and carefully transported two hundred and thirty-six ca es during the year. The citizens of Perth during the past year having made judicious .use of ~h.e street fire alarms it has been decided to still further allow them the umque prlVllege of using the~ for accidents, thereby obtaining a much quicker service than would be po sible otherwi e. . . The thanks of the citizens are due to the Fire Brigades' Board for stIll allow1l1g them the use of the horse and permitting the men to undertake this additional service. The attention of the public is drawn to what is being done in the furtherance of ambulance work in Perth. The larO'e number of citizens as well as members of the Police Force who have passel'through the Centre's classes and received certificates, the regular attendance of members of the Brigade at all Race Clubs and Sports' l\Ieetin a , the free use of 96 street fire alarms, and the excellent serVICe of 1569 exchanO'eb telephones, whereby the speedy assi tance of first a,idel's may be summoned i; case of accident, wlll all tend to show the 42,000 inhabitants of the City of Perth that they are fairly ahead of the times in this urn,nch of the cryice.

The Committee haye great ple:L ure in presenting the fourteenth annual report of the 'entre, which is a record of lIlO. t satisfactory work. The important feature of the pa. t year ha\'e been the collecting of funds for the purpose of lH'oeuring a new ambulance wagon and more Ashford litters; the inauguration of a BnilLling Fund fol' the Ccntre, aud the large aLtendance at the lecture. The ommittee decided to place the collect.ion of donations in the hanel' of Mr. E. W. Page, who carried it out most nece;; fully nnc1met with a very liberal re ponse, the sum of £175 13s. tid. having been contrihntel1. lIe report (1 that t.he puulic were fully alive to the excellent work done in Auckland 11y the A sociation. The Building Fund commenced with a donation of £~ from the Hight Rev. Dr. Neligan. The 01l1miUee decided to tran. for Lo it the sum of £20 from the genera] fund, and to open n.ll accounL in the Aucklnllll k(wings Bauk in the names of the Ohairman of Committee a11(l the, ccretal'Y (!\II'. W. Hnttr:1y). A donation of lOs. 6d. and !'is. fol' in1ere.'t make the amonnt now to t1lC credit of the Building Fuud£25 15s. 6el. lt is hoped that, 1)y the liherality of the frionds of the As ociation, the amount will S001l he sllbsbmLittlly inrreuRel1. During the past yetH' two A.·Mol'll Litters (lull. three Hampers haye been imported for our Oishol'lle branch, the fuulls hfwing been collected by Lhe energetic secretary, Mr. E. II. MeUlll; one litter for om newly-formed T nuranga brallch; one for NorLhc0te, for which the cost was collecLed by Mr .

one litter for Whanaurei paid for by l ocal donations collected by Mrs. E. Boult, who has done so much £;1' a~bulance work in that town; also for three [or the city and suburbs, paid for out of the funds collected by 1111'. Page. . . The lectl1l'es have been attende<l by no less than 37 pup1ls, the largest lJumber m anyone year, except the second year of the Centre's existence. . . The Committee would tender the sincere thanks of the members to the med1cal gentlemen for their goodness in lecturiug and examining, to all the Honorary ~ecre taries, an<l to Misses Bel,es, Mrs. Moore-Jones, the Devonport Borough ConnCll, the Thames County Council and the Oommittees of the Onehunga Presbyterian Church and the Tamaki ,Vest School, for granting the nsf, of the rooms [or the lectur~s. The Committee were much gratified to receive intimation that the Grand P ll ory of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem had, with the approval of U. R.H . the Prince of Wales, who is Grand Prior of the Order, awarded a bronze Medal to Porter Edward James McGinn, of our Railway Service. On the 3rd of July last when a train was approaching Pukekohe Station, an elderly man named Richardson CWrord was observed on the railway track on which the tram was. The Station Mastel' and others called out to him ,,;arning him of his dangel', but lie, being somewhat deaf, <lid not heal' them. McGinn, seeing the imminent peril in which Clifford was, ran to rescue him. Seizing him by his arms, he rolled over on the rough scoria of thc railway track just as the train came thundering down the line. So narrow was his escape that the engine actually struck Olifford's foot, fortunately without hl1l'ting him. What made McGinn's plucky action more meritorions was that he h,cd hardly recovered from the effects of a broken arm . The ,\Tench given to the inj merl lim b was so severe that he Wfl.S unable to work for some time afterwards. The Committee of the Centre sent an account of the occunence to His Exccllency the Goyernor, with a request that he would be so good as to bring the heroic aclioll of McGinn beforc the notice of the Graud Priory of the Order. This His Excellency kindly did, with the result t hat a bronze Medal was awarded to McGinn and was sent to the Goyernor who will presen t it at the Annual Meeting of the Centre. I n concluding their Heport, the Committee would again express the hope that the friends of the Association and the general public will accol'll them a libcral support in their endeavour to providc an efficient ambulance station for the city. Classes are now being formed in the city aml suburbs, and the lectures will ue commenced as soon as sufficient names are sent to the secretary.

The Cou~cil has the honour to present, herewith, the fifteenth anllual report. The CouncIl regret to have to report the followincr losses from tbe ranks of the Executive : Rev. A. P . Bendel', Messrs. Earp, Full~r, Heatlie, Jones and Smuts. T he Rev. ~1r . .Bender has bee~ Chairman since 1903. Mr. Earp has hall It seat 0]) the CouncIl SInce the formatlon of the Cen tre, and was the HonoraJ'Y Treasmer till last year. 1\Ir. Fuller has done yeOl1lilll service on behalf of the As oClation since it was established in the Eastern Province, ancl "'hen he was transferred to Capc Towl1 was a most valuable member of the COlllmittee. Amoncrst the chancres in the H onorary Medical taff, the Council report, with velY O'~eat regret th~ departure from Cape Town of Drs. Piers and Harris. Dr. Piers has baeen lecture;' auel (1Xamiller since the formation of the Centre, and his kiml and yaluable sen' ices will be much missed.. Dr. ~alTis was examiner for the greater part of the year, ,ince his deparhue, hIS appollltment has been taken over by Dr. Arenhold. In recorrniLion of his long a,nd In,eritorious services to the Association, H.l\I. tllC King, on the recommendatIon o~ the Chapter-General, was llieased to confer the decoration of H onorary ASSOCIate of the Order of the Hospital of st. J ol1n of J erusu,lem in Engl.and on Dr: Piers .. The Counci.l hoped to be alJle to prcsent the decoration publICly on tIns occaSIOn to Dr. Pwrs at the hands of thc Prcsident, but his unfortunate departure has pre,ented this being done. Col. Hartley, v.c., Dr. John Hewat, l\LL.A., a.nd. Dr. McGowan Kitching have been elected Honorary Life Members of the ASSOCIatIon. The medal for sa,vin u life conferred on Porter l\lanuel of t~e Cape Government ~ailways, for heroism at Roseb~nk Station, was presellted to ~~m at a volunteel: reV:lew ~t JohannesIJ1:rg, by II.R.H. the Duke of Connanght, BaIlIff of Egle. It IS WIth SIncere expressIOns of recrret that the Oouncil heard of the demise o~ Mr. 9. B. Drew, fo!' JI1u,ny years tYle Honorary ,ecrctary of the De Bee1:s 8ec~IOn (KImberley) of thIS Centre. For special meritorious services in c~nnec~IOn wI~h a~bulance work during the siege of Kimberley, the Order presented h~m WIth a~ Illum~nated vote of thanks. The Council and the Sectioll have lost in h1m a most Inde~atlgable ~orker, whose memory will long be kept green amongst the workers of the dIamond nnnes. The nUlllber of men and women who 11ave crone through fir~t aid and nursing courses since the last anllual report totals 1~30. Amon~st thIS number are 72 who have been examined, 28 who have obtained the medall!on, and 5 who hav~ qualified for the recently instituted label. The number of P~lPlls who. have b~en lllstr~1Cted this year is far in excess of that of any preceed.mg year smce the 1ll.auguratIOll of ambulance work in Cape Colony. Several old sectt~ns have ~een revIved and some ,new on£:s. formed, and it is a particularly pleasmg feature that ~he move~ent..l~ exte.u.d!-ng to the. up-country villages. A mongst the m?st promwent sectIOns It IS gratIfymg to mentlOn the re-establisheel one at ~ort. Ehzab~tb, where most excellent work is being rlone.

t h e sister colony of N atal, your Coullcil offered lhe services of men, nurses and siores to the Government of that Colony. T o all who so promptly resllollded to the call for duty on active service, the COllncil would tender their heartfelt thanks. It is most gratifying to know that in the hour of national need we possess a r.umber of trained first aiders and l1l11'ses who are willing to devote their services to the caUE'e of sufl'ering humanity. Thc question of teaching hygiene in schools, which elicited a most j~teresiing correspondcnce in the public press, and which was taken up by the professlOnal papers, resulted in a motion beir.g cal'l'ietl in Parliament, without a division, affirming the desirability of instructing the. chool children of the hicrber ~lasses in this most useful and necessary subject. The Council has carefully gone llltO the maLter amI, after due discussion, formulated a scheme ant! snbmitted it to the 8uperintend\3l1t-General of l£ducation for the purpose of carrying out the resoluLion of the nouse, Our Council desire to make it lmown, as widely as pos;;ible, that nothing is fmtber from thf::lr thoughts than to confine the lecturincr an<l examining to those members only who nre, at pref::ent, menJbers of the Hono~ wry reaical tall' of the Associalion. On tbe contrary, the Council hopes that Dr, Muir will approve of the scheme, the cost per head being exceedingly small, and tbat the members of the meuical profession throughout the Colony will assist in carrying ont what is really a national work of the utmost importance, for without their aid the scheme natura11y fans to the ground. ,Amongst the educational estahlishments in the Cape Peninsula \\'hich have taken up ambulance work, or contiuned it, must l)e specially mentioned 'to Agnes's Convent, '\Yoodstock, the Goorl Ilope eminary, and the, outh African College. The thauks of the Conncil are specially dne to ister M. J. 13erchnml1s anel to l\1iss Morton for their lively interest in the work and for their kind a.~ sisLallce. It is a 1l10St pleasing duty to tellder than ks to the varions mem llers of Lhe medical profcsion who ha,e so kindly placed their services at the disposal of the A ociaiion; to the Committees and Honorary 'ccretal'ies of , ections who arc the main sources of fostering the Association's \\'ork in the country eli trict , aud to the Pre's throughout the Colony for their ullya1'ying cot1l'te~y and for their great assistance in bearing Rloft the torch of ambulallcc etlnention. The fiualleial dcpression through which the Colony is pa sing has, lInfo1'tunately, not been witbout itt; elI'ect on this Centre. eyeral classes which it was intel1(lecl to form ha\'e ha,d to be abandoned o\ving to monetary consideraLiollR. The succe::;' of the past "'ill, it is sincerely to be hopeel, act as an incentivc to still further work, nIHI it is devoutly to be desirecl that the tillle may not be 1',\1' distant when e,rry to\\'n and village in this great Colony may Itave a pe1'111ane11 Uy esLRblishcd sec Lion of the 'L John Ambulance Association.

During the recent trouble in aLaI, a number of members of the St, John Ambulance Driaacle volunteered for active servi~e, but the N atal ~ove1'l11~ent had no ocr-asion fur their assistance, having sllffiClently augmented Its staff by drafts from the Transvaal .Medical Staff Oorps. Some £200 worth of stores has been reeeived from the London head·quarters 0(' the St. Joh.n Ambulance Assoeiation during the periorl under review. 'With the arants and the money o~ving by various units of the Brigade, and by classes in the eOlony for stores s~pphecl to them,. a sum of £150 CRU be made up, anJ as material is constantly Issued, there WIll be no difficulty in meeting the account of the Association.

REPORT.

The work of the Centre for the year ellfling 30th eptember, 11)06, indicales steady and aood progress. 174 males completed a course 01 instrllction iu first aid, of whom obtained certificates; 33 femalcs, of whom 26 qualiliecl. In llome Nursina out of 32 males Ii qmllified, and 13 females alJ (llH.lilied. In Homc Hygiene out of males 11 q nalifieLl. 25 males rlualilied for mcdallions. On 6th February H.E. the GOYel'llor, Lord Lall1ington, prescnted llIerlalliolls and certificates of tbe AssociatiolJ, when the G.LF. Hailway, B. V. Wiles, the Parsi Division of tbe Ambulance Brigade in cOllllection "ith the Oentle, anu the City Police paraded, and gave a LlislJlay of fir&t aid to the injured . His Excellency, in addressing the gathering, said:" I have on several previous oucasions bad the plcasure of adtlre 'sing the St. John "Ambulance AssociatlOn, but I think it is the first time I ha\'e had tIle privilege "of seeing anything of your metholls of work. I c:ertainly cndorse the remarks by "General Greenfipld as to the excellent way in which you performcd the duties of "first aid. To my inexpert eye there was nothing wanting in regard to the know"ledge of the men, and also for rapidity of action. I am very pleasell to think that "since two years ago tbe progress of the Association has beenmoro than sustained. I " am particularly please<l that a nnmher of the European Inspectors of Police have Ie qualifieJ themselves, and I havc had to-day the satisfaction of handillg them "their certificates of efficiency. I hope that he an encouragemcnt to many "others to acquire similar knowledge. The armed native Police have albo largely "taken up amuulance work. The ullarme!l Police, owillg to thcir heavy and " laborious duties, have not the same time to attend to the subject. All the Police "are a very hard-worked hody indeed in tbis grcat ciiy of Bombay, but considerable "numbers are receiving instruction in strctchel drill and the carrying of sufferers. " I congratulate them on what they have heen able to do. Then, again, there are " the G. 1. P. Volunteers and employees, and the BOIll hay Volunteer HiDes. I ]]lust also " refer to the Parsis. I extend to them my wannest eongratulatiolls. I thillk they "are a distinct example of what others in orllinal'Y civil life could do in this matter. " T hey, conjointly with the G.I. P. Volunteers, were largely instrumental in afI'ording

I daresay .J L IS very largely oWIng to their efforts that no "senous aCCIdent occulTed at that time. It is certainly I think a very great "achievement that Lhis city of Bombay should have snch a ~umbel' or'men who have "placed themselves at tbe disposal of instructors to learn these duties of first aid "and also of others in the way of llursing. I understand that many of them al'~ "quahfiod in ca.'e of warfar" to take their place amon(f&t those who ao to assist tLe :: wouuded. In th~ fighting line ollly tbe 'ery simple~t remedies ~re applied and the wounded s01c11el's are taken back to tIle base hospItal to be properly treated . "That is rcally the position of the Ambulance Association. The members save life :: at the Jil'~t outset, and thcn the patient ~s takcn to the hospital to he more carefully "lookpd ~ILer.

There are two essentials for those " who cngage ill tbi' work to po. sess. Tbe first is a certain al1lonnt 1)1' kill and the " other promptitude. I am yery glad to think that in this city of Bom1Jay so much "has heen donc to uring about thi ' very desirable instruction. I congratulatc those " gellLlelllcn who haVe speeially set themselves to undertake this training and also "those who arc iuterested in the 1L11mil1istratiou 0[ the Association.

No. IV. Dis tric t has to mourn the death of Distric L Chief Surgeon G. Thomson, M.D., an energetic and zealous Officer, ever ready when called upon to act in his responsible and onerous position as Ohief Medical Officer in the District. His loss will be keenly felt by all with whom he came in contact. The death of R. S. Stewart, M.D., who held the posiLion of Hon. Treasurer on the taff of No. VII. District, has likewise been repOI'Led. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior has sanctioned the following prmnotion :Assistant Oommissioner No. VII. District, ~urgeon olonel E. Oureton, V.D., M.D., J.P., to be Deputy Commissioner in the same District. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior presented the erVlee Medal to the following members of the Brigade :-

p::;'dressed the Officers and )}len on the subject of Sanitation as applied to Forces in the Field. On Tuesday the Chief Oommissioner paid a visit of in pection. TO. IV. and .r o. V. Districts each held a Camp of Instruction at Black pool, in close proximity but quite separate and disLinct. Both of these were inspected by Lhe <hief Commissioner. Camps of Instruction are of very great advantage to the members of the Brigade, and they supply a great want in the matter of collective training. It is the expense incurred by each individual which prevenLs Lhem being very much more largely attended, all the cost being defrayed by the members. The new Drill Hall, presented by Colonel C. 1. and Mrs. Royds to Lhe I oehdale Corp", was opened on 'aLurday, October 21st, 1905, by olono1 <. 1\1. Hoyds, C.B.; Irs. Hoyd ', 'ir Herbert Perrott, the Ohief Commissioner, and a very large contingent of Lhe 10rps were pres nt. The following pIa 'es have Leen visited on duty in connection with Brigade requirelllent, viz. :-Preston, Rochdale, Bristol ( twice), Birmingham, Newport (Ion.), Kettering, ]3lackpool, and 'hcili Id. The onllni ,·ioner for 'peeial 'ervices'if informs me that the 1010nial nits of the Brigade nUInber 60, viz.: 26 Divisions in New Zenland, 1 G in Australia, 7 in 'ape Colony, (j in the Orange River 'o lony, 1 in Lhv Transyaal, and 4 in Bombay. 'everal Divisions are also in process of formation in the Transvaal. The eight Dearer 100upnnie' (St. John Ambulance Brigade) lllainLn,in their e. LalJlishlllent, and all attended the annual camps at York, 'alisbury PIn,in, Alder hot, or ,Yoolwieh during the year. The repolts of the l.rmy l\Ieclieal Officers who COllducted the camp <1ncl annual in peetions f the 'ompanies were in all ca es lIla L sati ·factory. Total sLrength of the Bearer OOllll anies, ] 5 oHicm' anI ..J:.G4 rank and file. The sLl'eucrth of tl1e Hoyal 1 aval Auxiliary 'ick Berth Reserve is now 593 in England and J reland, an inc rea e of ~20 during the year. The number of men who tD,ke a Ivantage of the courses of in 'LrucLion plovided at local head-quarters, on board ships of war, and in naval hospitals ashore continues to increas~, and t~e reports on the efficiency and conduct of Lhe reserVI t whIle under instruction are highly creditable to them and to the Briga Ie. It will be seen from thi Report that the work done ~y members of the Brigade lUl'in o' the year has exceede.d that 111 any similar period, and reflects the greaLest credIt on all concerned. The thanks o[ Lhe hief Comll1is ioner a.re gratefully ten lered to all [or work 0 choerfully undertaken and sacrifice of time, recreation and money so willingly borne.

The presentation took place at Marlborough House on July 23rd, 1906. The number of transport vehicles, the property of units, is largely on the increase. To Ineet the requirements of this l)ranch of ambulance work it has been found desirable to appoint officers with special training to carry out this dULy. Great benefit to the public results as well as to members of the Brigade, ,vith whom the Transport ~ervice is very popular. Three Oalnps of Instruction were held during vVhi tsuntide. By kind permission of the Duke of Buccleugh the members of No. III. District held their Camp in Broughton Park, near Rette.ring, which was visited by His Grace on Whit Monday, who Inspected the arrangements and complimented the men. On the same day Colonel E. M.

The strength of the District is well maintained four new ambulauce di vi~ions having been formed during the period Llnuer review: The publj~ duty carried ?ll~ is shown in thc attacheJ Duty Report, the nUlll ber of separate ~Lltles perfornI eclIS III excess of the average. All ranks havc responded well to the vanous calls, and the manner in which the duties bave beell carricd out leave~ nothing ~o be d~sireLl, and sho,,'s that an ranks continue to take a pride iJ; carrymg out tblS very unportant part of our ,York. The annual inspection was again l)y kind permission of the Oonstablc ancl Ohief Gover~or of the Tower o~ Loudon, held in the Tower Moat, on the 26th l\Iay, a total of .821 of all ranks belllg upon parade.

T he total membership is n ot so good as last year, but this is compcnsated for by the increased efficiency, which in a great measure is due to the spirit of competition engendered by the annual contest for the Harubro Efficiency Oup. The Division has undertaken duty locally on many occa&ions, and also in the street of the :Metropolis whenever ordered by headquarters. A strongmllster of members also took part in the annual march -out of the corps.

DurinCt the past year the Di.vision has with great regret lost the services of Hon. -Surgeon,::>Dr. B. E. Myers, and desire to put on record their appreciation of his efforts during the six years' he devoted to first aid work. The vi vision has been exceptionally fortunate in securing the services of Dr. M. Blok as Hon. urgeon, whose devotion to the work, most interesting and instructive lectures, and readiness to assist in all directions, make for the greater efficiency of the Division in every respect. I A very handsome silver Ohallenge Oup pre ented by Sergeant Selinger, for annual competition amongst the members of the Division was competed for, for the first time, in June last, Assistant-Oommissioner Morgan and Dr. Blok kindly offici~1ted as judges. The Oup was won by Private A. de Meza. The general effici.encyof the Division has been fully maintained, the number of duties undertaken have been over the average, and the attendance at same satisfactory. Th e number of cases attended to when not on public duty are known to be far in excess of the figures given, many members objecting to publicity after treating cases.

This Division continues to do us~flll work in the factories of Sir Joseph Oauston & Sons, Ltcl., ~nd ~1sew.here. The lllgh standard of efficiency attained in former yeare has been mallltal~ed m .spite of th.e absence of the Hon. Surgeon (Dr. J. Brown R. N.) whose contlllued lll-healt!J IS much regretted by all ranks. Public duty has been. und~rtaken on many occaSlOns, and the weekly service of the Division in con· neetlOn wIth. t.he ~oo~ball and cricket c:1nbs using the spacious playing fields in the North. I?~lwl~h chstnct has been much appreciated: The annual display given by the DlvlslOn m the grounds of the Oaustoll AthletlC Olub was a great success, and attracted !nl.'g.e crowds of spectator::;. Va~uable help was contributed by other outh London ?I VISIOn~, and the wOI:k proved Interesting and insLru ctive. The year just closed "tll remal11 memorable lD the annals of the division, owinCt to its success in t!le Dewar ~hield Competitioll . In the letropolitan district cOJ,gpetition the Divisl.on has. tWice been fi~st, and twice second in th e six years of its existence, and the vlCtO:y III the final thIS year was the reward of !:iustained hard work. It may be pel'l1lltted to pnt 011 record here the names of the team who received the Dewar Shield from the hands of H.H.H. tbe Princess Hemy of Battenherg. They were S.ergeant Galsworthy, Oorporal Ferris, Ptes. Bott, Stowe, and ·White. Th e promobon of , ergeant Gadsworthy to be a 1 t class ,'ergeant, is a thl)rouCthly deserved ho~our.

'IR,

I bn,Ye tIl· honour to su IJlnit the following a my annual report for No. III. Dit:;trict for the year endin s 30th :::\eptember 1906. l'rigade work ha.· been a(;tively carried on during the year: and the various Corps and Di vi iuns in the eli tl'iet l!n,\e ImLde cOIl~it1erable and satisfactory progre~. L a ·t year there wa~ a slight falling- off in the numerical :-;trength of hoth ambulance and nursing di \isions, lJUt I am ulad to state that during the year under review, there ha' been n, substanti,Ll i11cren e, lUore particularly in'ome of the larger 'orp'. During the year eight new Di \'jsiOl1 . have been formed: viz. , three in the Birmingham Curp., n, Midland Hail\\'·ty Division in the Kettering COI1)S, the Coyentry Ceutml Diyi 'ion, the "tmtford-upun- .Ayon DiviioD, the Lei(;e tel' Corporation TramWtLYS DiYlsion, ll.l1d the Kyno(;h ),fursing Di\'ision. The anl1lml inspe(;tiolls have he n carried out in <"\, sati factory manner, and I belien: c\ery unit wa inspected durillg the yelLI'. In this il1lportn,nt work I haye heen ably assisted by Assi ·tant- 'ol1lmis, ionel' \VOOlstOll, Chief urgeon Auc11and, and 'urgeon-Oaptain Brooks. There was a large muster of tbe N ortllall1pton Corp ' at the ann nal inspection in Delallre P'LI'k. At the clo e of the proceeding, the ambulan e and nursing division ' were ho. pita,hly entertained in two Inrg Ianluees by J. Cooper, Esq., J.P., who was uPllorted by the Jar(l uis of K orthampton, the Di , triot "taff, and everal yisiting Officers from Leice::>ter, Birl1lin rr ham, \Yellingborough, and Kettering. The death of Mr. Cooper n, few \V eks after the in 'pection "rill prove ,10 great los ' to the Northampton Corp::>, as for many years he htl.d been a munificent upporter of it fund!';, and h!l.d c\lwcl.y taken a deep in terest in its welfare and efticieney. The annual inspectiolls of the Hirmino'hmll, \ \Tellingborout('h, ,md Kettering Corps were sucee fully carried out, at the bttcl', fifteen members of the Kettering Division pamd d, who belonged to the Royal Naynl ick Berth Reserve. They had ju t returned from their :1l1l1ual training, t1011d spoke in high term of thc \my they were treated by the Admiralty Officials.

On Whit Monday the Oamp and Briga.de were inspectcd by bis Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, wbo was [\.Ccom} a.nied by Earl DaJkeitb, Oolonel , Vilson, O.B., D.S.O., R.A . M. O., and others. Hi Grace subsequently add res. ed the men, and expressed his pleatlure, at seeing so many well-drilled B.nd disciplined ambulance men enca.mped in his Park. The feature of this year's Oamp was the lecture on Oamp Sanitation delivered by Oolonel "Wilson, it initiated a course of instrllction on thi important subjcct which will be carried out d nring the winter session. On Tue day, the Ohief Oommissioner inspected the Oamp, and sub equently witnessed bearer company practice and field movements in the Park. The Oompetition for the Markham Oup was carried out on Wednesday, and was again won by a Birmingham team. In concluding this report I mu t again thank A si tant Oommissioner 'V oolston, Ohief Surgeon Audland, Surgeon Oaptain Brooks, and the Di trict Staff for the valuable help they have given me in carrying out the various Brigade duties throughout thc year. I have the honour to be, 11', Your obedient servant, GEOllG[!;

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY OO:ThnIr

IONER.

L OUTlI HOUSE, BAMBER BItIDGE, NEAR PRE. TO T. 30th i:JeptembeT, 1906.

SIJ:, I have the honom to submit my alillual repOlt as Deputy Commissioner fo!' l' o. II'. Di trict, t. John All! bulance Brigade, and in doing i,0 it affords me thevery greate t plea nre to notify for your information a substantial increase in number. nlHl general efficiency throughout the area under my charge. At the close of the year there were 9 001'pS (comprising 28 ambulance divisions) and 10 nUl'.ing divisi'Hls), 70 ambulance divi ions and 33 nur"ing divisions, altogether III uuits a· again t 134 units in the preceding year. The strength is constituted a fo11o\\'s :-6 Ohief urgeol1s, 3 hie!' uperintendents, 140 Ron. Surgeons, 56 'uperintenclents, 5 Ambulance Offiuers, 130 Sergeauts, 133 Oorporals, 2,630 Privates, yielding a Lot.al of 3,156. The nuring uivi5ions con ist of 30 Lady upel'in tendell t ·, 25 N Ul'sing Offiucrs; 827 ursing isters, in all 2. Including a Di trict tali' of 7, t.he tigures give a grand tolal for the whole district of 4,045, being a net illerene on last year' figmes of 301. New amhulance units have been formed a under :-Wigan, Oity of Dublin, 'hafte umy (Bdfa t), Levellshulme (Manche ·ter), ,Yaterloo, POlt 'nnlight, ale and A ·hton-on-lIlersey, We thoughton (Bolton). :rew nlll':sillg divi ions have been forllled as under :-Edenfield, ,Yarrin gtOlJ , BootIe, Wha.ley Bridge, Victoria Hall, (Bolton). 'l'he after-named units with a strength 011 paper of 11 haYe been strllek off, and are not includetl in the above figures :-Aska1l1-in-Fllrne s, Littleborough, Millom, Penrith, Uherstoll, AskHm-in-Ful'lle s Nursing, Orav,shawl>ooth Nursing, Ulvel'ston :rut'ing, IVha.lley Nl1l' in,!?;. The Oldham Oorps has again been subdivided into 4 ambulance and 1 nUl'sing divisions, and the l\Iilnro\\' anll "'ew lIey Division of the H.ochdale Oorps bas withdrawn from the Oorps and is now a separate unit. Thi action was taken on the grounds that :r ew Hey \\'as some considerable distance from the headquarter of the Rochdale Oorps, rendering it excessively difficult for the Milnrow anti ell' Bey men to cDmply wiLh Brigade regulations. lIaving regard to the withdrawal of the 9 units before enumerated in the strellgth of District, I should like partiuularly to point out tbat in each instance, for some years past, there appeared a great slackness and want of interest in Brigade ambulance work, and after doing all in my power through Illy Brigade StlliI'tO keep these Divisions alive I have been reluctantly obliged to now strike them off. Although this action has been takE-lJ, there is no necessity why at some future date some, or even all, of these defunct units should not again be reconstituted and re-enroll etl .

St. John A??1bulclJ'nce BT·igacle.

I have the very sad duty placed upon m e to record the o.eath of Dr. George Thomson, who had a . hort time prior to his demise resigned through ill-health t.he position of District Ohief Surgeon. It " 'ould ill become me to allow this opportulli ty to pass without endeavouring to testify to the very able services rendered by Dr. Thomson to Brigade ambulance work in No. IV. District. H e was a man cndowed with the utmost tact; he was a capital organiseI', and he inherited tbe secret of managing men. '1.' h e loss of a man endow ed with these capabilities can be ,yell under tOO<l, deplored, and univ ersally regretted. Hi s funeral was attended uy a member of my sta lf, who represented the District on this occasion. Th e very flue drill-hall presented to the Rochdale Oorps by Colonel O. M. and Mrs. Royds was opelled on Saturday, October 21st, 1905, by Oolonel O. M. Royd s, C.B., ill. P. Accompallying Colonel Boyds \\'ere Sir Herbert Perrott, 0.13., yourself as Ohief Oommissioner of the BrigaJe, Mrs. Royds, ano. the members of the ,Di trict staff. The Rochdale Corps was on parade and pre ented a very smart appearance. After Oolonel Royd had unlocked and opened the door of the drill-hall, Oolouel Sir H. Perrott ullveiled the donor's tablet in the entranee hall, and the opE'ning was afterwards com pleted by Oolonel Royd 3. J list before the function closed a yory interesting presentation was made by Mrs. Royds to Chief nrgeon anel Ohief nperintendent R . B. Sellers, consisting of a piece of plate and an illuminated ado.ress. This token of respect was to record the llutiring interest disl11ayell by Dr .• ' 11ers in ambulance work in Rochthtle. On December 9th, 1905, the Earl of Lathom unveiled a memorial tablet fixed above a bed at the Preston and County of L ancaster Queen Victoria B.oyallnfirlllaJ'Y· Thi3 bed was presentQd to the infirmary by the friends of the men belonging to the t. John A.mbulance Brigade from Preston and Di trict wh o 10 t their lives in the South African War, and was dedieated to their memory. Sir '.Ym. Tomlinson, Bart., the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Preston, together with a large and influential gathering ,yere present. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve still continues to be Yery popular and attracts a large number of men for emOllllellt, the total number at present serving hom thi. area being 95. On all sides the men speak in the highest terms of the treatment meted ont to them by the Admiralty. The three Hearer Oompanies organised in this District appear to lIe up to their strength and in a most efficient condition . The illtroduction of the khaki uniform has given much satisfaction to the men serving iu these companie.· . The following trophies outside those introduced by the North-cast and 'outll-east Lancashire Oorps anll Divisions were competed for during the year:Nursing Shield, held at Preston May 5th, won by Blackpool Nursing Di\'i ion. Argenta Cup, helo. at Blackpool June 16th, won uy Kendal Division. Tunstill Shield, held at Brierfield July 2Bth, won by Orompton Divisiou. Orosnelcl Shield, held at Warrington Sept. 2211U, won by Orompton Divi. ion. The first District Oamp was formed on aturday, June 2nd, 1906, at outh. lore. Black pool. A total of 1 4 officers and Jllell were present in camp, and a very interesting and instruetive week was spent, although the details of camp life au (1 managemcnt were new to all concerned. The Oamp was under the command of A.ssistant-Oommissiuncr Whittaker, District Obief Superintendent Garnett occupying the position of Adjutant, which be carried ont in a l!I(1st tactful and efficient manner. The dutics of Oamp Quartermaster devol ve(l llpon District SupcrintenJent Secretary W ooucock, and from the testimony of all concerned the camp catering and management proved highly satisfaetory . The pitching and /leneral conduct of thE' camp were excellently carried out and in every way satisfactory. On June Bth you, • iI', as the Ohief Oommissioner, inspected the camp, and you were good enough to express satisfaction witb all you llad seen. This was most encQuraging and will materially help us in our seconJ annual encam pm ent, which it is proposed to hold at Knott End, near Fleetwood, in August, 1907. Th e North-ea<;t Lancashire Corps and Divisions H.eview was held on June 23rc1 at Blackuul'l1. A complete report on this inspection was furnished by 11Ie to you. Sir Harry Hornhy, Bart., very hospitably entertained to luncheon the officers who carriecl ~ut the organisation of this review . There were present the Mayor of mackburn.

The A Bearer Company is now at full strength with 3 medical officers. This year's encampment at York was a great success. The R. N. A. S. B. Re!;erve continues popular, nearly 100 men are enrolled in the Reserve, and most encouraging reports are to hand on the work of the large number who have been on board H.M. ships or at the naval hospitals. Th e Corps paraded to receive Major-General Baden Powell on his vi. it to Bolton, and he warm ly commended the work of the organisation . All the Divisions have now secured most suitable head-quarters.

RATOLIFF, Moorlands, tapleford, Notts. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER. DOE HILL HOUSE, NEAR ALFRETON, DERBY. HIRE, October, 1906.

SIR,I have the honour of submitting my report for the year ending 30th eptember, 1906. I am glad to be able to report that the interest in tbe work of tbe Brigade continues to grow year by year, wbich is shown by the fresb Oorps and Divi ions formed since last year, and the much higbet' state of efficiency of the members. The total number of ruen and nurses in my di trict shows some sligb t decrease from that of last year, but tbat does not denote any falling off in the interest taken, but ratber points to the fact tbat tbere are very few men or nurses but wbat are efficient and bona .fide members of the Brigade, and not merely paper members, if I may so call them, as many were before the system of yearly inspections and returns were not 0 stringent as now. New and important Cmps and Divisions have been formed at Sowerby Bridge, Spalding, Bradford Midland Railway, Scissett, Rockingham Oolliery. Shipley Midland Railway, and Duffield, in some ca es with I ursing Divisions attached, and others are still in course of formati on. Most useful work wa done by units from my District on the occasion of the Royal Agricultural Show and King's visit at Derby. The ambulance arrangements at the Show were controlled by Assistant-Oommissioner Morgan from Brigade Head-quarters, H on. urgeon Cassidi, of the Derby Division, being in medical charge, and were excellently carried out, the ambulance station in the Show Yard being very well arranged. The men were supplied by the Derby Division, and the nursing sisters by the Tibshelf Jursing Division. On the day of the King's visit, I had under my charge for street duty 300 Officers and men from the different Oorps and Divisions in my District, who had many cases to treat of different kinds during the day. The day was very wet, and I cannob say too much for the admirable manner in which they stuck to their duties, under somewhat trying conditions. The Oamp at Blackpool during Whit-vVeek was again well attended, nearly 300 men being under canvas, and was a pronounced success. The arrangements were entirely carried out by District Ohief Superintentendent Else, District Superintendent Secretary Ratcliff, and Superintendent Chambers, of Rotherbam, and were exceedingly well done. The Oamp being quite up to any I have seen in the service, and the conduct of the men without reproach. The value of a week's training cannot be over-estimated, and I hope to have another and still larger camp this year. My Assistant-Oommissioner, Mr. Malkin, and Staff, have again been most assiduous in their duties, and my thanks are due to one and all of them for the efficient manner in which they have discharged them. These duties necessitate a

St. John Ambulance B'i'igade.

eonsiderable amount of work and time in inspecting the different Oorps and Divisions nearly all of who~ have bee,n insp~cted duri,ng the year. There are also many complaint~ to attend to, whICh neceSSItate time, patlence, and tact in dealing with. I should especially J?en tion t~e most effici,en t ,way in which my District-Superin tenden t Secretary, ~r, Rat?hff, does hIS wO,rk, which IS :nost arduous, and continually growing, causing hIm to gIve up almost dally some consIderable portIOn of his valuable time to the work of the Brigade. Some little misunderstanding took place at Bradford during the year, but I am glad to report that has been got over, and the Divisions there are now in good. w~rking or~er: I propo,se, with your sanction, to further, increase my Staff by appomtmg a DIstrICt Supermtendent of Stores, and a DIstrict-Superintendent Treasurer. This will still further reduce the distances the different members of my staff ~av~ to take for inspections, and will conduce to the more efficient working of my Dlstnct. I am glad to be able to report that the standard of the Brigade Officer is much improved, and my thanks are due to both officers and men for the zeal with ~vhich th~y carry out the arduous and voluntary duties, often at great expense and mconvemence to themselves. I append a list of Oorps and Divisions with order of seniority and distribution of same. ' I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, TUART C. "IV ARDELL, Knight oj Gmce of the Order oj St. J ohn, Deputy-Oommissione?', No. V. Dist?·ict. The Ohief Oommissioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT OOMUISSIONEB . TYNE

DOCK

SOUTH SHIELDS,

Septcmbc1' 30th, 1906.

SIR,

I have the honour of submitting my annuu.l report for year ending Septemb r 30th, 1906. The year has been full of changes, and event of great interest in Jo. VI. district. I regret to haye to report the loss of my District, Llperilltendent Secretary, Ot'Lptain George Ogilvie, whose death took place somewhat Kudclcnly in the early pa.rt of the year, and the resignu.tion of my Di trict ",uperintendent of Stores, W. G. M orant, whose office of Chief Oonstable of the Oounty of Durham , pre\'ented his gi'v"lng that amount of attention to his duties as he should haye wished. Their places have been filled by three well-known workers in first aid in the Jorth, Drs. Sutherland and Modlin, Hon. Associates of the Order, and O. B. Palmer, .T. P., of Wardley Hall, son of ir Oharles 1\1. Pn.lmer, Bu.rt. The visit of their Majesties, the King and Queen, to N ewcastle-on-Tyne, brought together 300 men and 100 nursing sisters, who took duty in the Oity and l'Lttended to some 700 cases, and for which work they were personally complimented by a mes age from Queen Alexandra for their devotion, and their kind attention to the wants of the populace, on a day that will ever be remembered in the annals of Northern Oounty events, by its terrible downpour of rain, and the creation of the Borough as a Royal city. I take thlli opportunity of thanking the Right Hon. the Lord Uayur, , 'ir Joseph Baxter Ellis, Ohief Oonstable J. B. Wright, LL.B., and those who 0 kindly placed their houses, shops, and yards at the disposal of the Brigade as "d ressing stations;" Messrs. Bovril & 00. for a good ly supply of nourishment; and all H on. Surgeons, Superintendents, and members of Divisions for their kindly assistance, and generally for the order and discipline on this memorable occasion. Thanks is also due to the Ohairman u.nd Directors of the H. & B. Ru.ilway 00., Hull, for granting their men leave and passes to attend the Royal '"lRit, and to District Superintendent Palmer ~Ll1d 1\1rs. Claude Palmer, of 'Vardley llall, Pelaw, for so very hospitably entertaining the members of outlying units from Hull and elsewhere in our first ambulance camp in the North, which was 0 well organized under their direction, and so perfect in its commis ariat as to win the eulogy of Sir Leslie Rundle, K.O.B., &c., commanding the Torthern Division of troolJs on his surprise visit to Wardley Hall Oamp during his tour through the district n,t that time. The divisions have maintained their strength and efficiency throughouL the y'[\'r. N --:v divisions have been formed at Dudley Oolliery, Felling, ,Vhitburn, Addison, Gl'l1;kle, and Blaydon Burn Oollieries, and nursing divisions at ewcastle-on-Tyne, 'Yhltburn and Hull (,Vestern); with a total of 162 officers and men, and .[0 nursing slsters.

REPORT OF THE COMl\IIS lONER. 183, LIVEllPOOL TllEET, HYDE PARK, SYDNEY, N. '. 'V. 31st J anucl?'Y, 1907.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the annual report of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Australia for the year ending 30th September, 1906. So far the Brig'1cle has been formed in only two States of the Commonwen.lLh-New outh ' Vales and '\Vest Australia but I believe that during this year outh AustralitL will fOl111 a third district. 'The work done by the St. J olm Ambulance Association in Queensland and Tasmania, leads me to hope that before long the Brigade will be establi. 'hcel in those States. In New South Wales the work is proceeding satisfactorily. 1 have pcrsollally visited the country Divisions, and many of the metropolita.n ones. The allllual examinations have been carried out by the Brigade Officers. In '\Vest Australia the Brigade does not make much headway, but the ssistantCommissioner informs me that he intends forming Divisions in the l<1l'ge inland Centres this year. A feature of the work of the year was the Brigade Camp which was held at Ln. Pel'onse in September. Th e D eputy-Commissioner was in charge, but I exercised a. general supervision. It is hoped that the Brigade uniform will be worn by the members within the 11 E'X t few months. The Royal Kaval Auxiliary Sick Berth R eserve has made no progress during the year, and I fear is not so popular as it should be. The report of the D eputyCommissioner for New South Wales is attached. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, G. L ANE MULLINS, M.D., Major A.A.l\LO .

I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the 'to .John Ambulance Brigade in New outh ,\Vales for the year ending 30th September, 1906. All the Divisions have been inspected either by the Commissioller or by myself, and sometimes by both. Th e annual examinations h,"w e lJeen carried out by the Brigade.

For marquces a.nd other camp etluipmcnts we owe a deht of gmtitude to Brigadier Geneml Gordon, C.B., tate COll1m;tncltl.nt. Although only twenty-five Officers and men were uncleI' can vas, there is every rca on to believe that _thel:e will be n.n increased number next year. The sitlH1,tion chosen wa the hlstonc one of La Perouse, and in the forest and scrub nea.r by, very good improvised stretcher work was executed. I

L ectures by Major Mullins (the Commissioner), Major Morgan Martin (District Ohief Superintendent), myself and others upon various subjects were followed with interest. The camp lasted three days, The discipline throughout the timc wns excellent. The whole of the Oity Press gave great prominence to this movement, new in Australia, and their general co-opern,tion has been of the greatest assista,nce to the Brigade by making its purpose known <1,11 over the State. A visit to the Inspector-General of Police by the Oommissioner, the acting District Superintendent Secretary (Mr. Boles R Rainsford), and myself, to bring before him the desirability of the formation of Police Divisions throughout the State, was received very sympa,thetically, His prompt actioll in communicating 'with the members of the large service under his control has had already valua,ble results. The District Superintendent Secretary (1\11'. Lconard Dobbin) ha,ving through press of other duties been compelled most reluctantly to resign, Mr, Boles R . Rainsford, who has been for three or four years Secretary of the As ociation, was appointed to the post. Mr. Rainsford has for many years been an enthusiastic worker in connection with the As ociation III various phases of its work, and for some time was acting Honorary Treasurer of the Oiyil .Ambulance and Tran port Oorps, as well as for some months our Acting District Superintendent ecretary during the absence of Mr. L eonard Dobbin on leave. The characteristic sympathy, skill, and energy, wllich he ha shown in matters concerning the Association, ha,e already produced "aluable results since his entry on permanent work in the Brigade.

REPORT OF 'l'HE ASSISTANT OOMMISSIONER. R OSEBANK, NEAR OAPE TOWN, 30th September, 1906. IR, I have the honour to present, herewith, the first annual report for the Oape Oolouy Di. trict. The Brigade, here, consists of seven Divisions, of which six are in Cape Town and one iu East Lonuon, comprising :-10 Officers, 4 sergeants, 8 co rporals and 97 l)riYates, making a total of 120. . The work of the year has bee n, geuerally speaking, most satisfactory and the drIlls have been well attended. Opportunities for public duty are few and far between, but wheu the Brigade ha been called out, the response has been hearty and the ,york done excellent. The number of cases treated and removed by the members of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, a list of whi~h is appended, proves (were it needed) the utility of the work auu the great interest taken in it by .the members. . Being uuuble, personally, to vi it East London, partly OWlllg to the long rall,:ay journey (over 1700 miles), I requ e~ted Major Brownlee, D.S.O., Oommandlllg " A " 00., C. M. O. (V) to be good enough to uuuertake the inspection on my behalf. His report reads as follows : TEMBA TI, ALEXANDRA ROAD, KING WILLIAM' TOWN, 22nd Octobt7', 1906. "OD the evening of Saturday, the 20th October, 1906, I made an inspection of "the Railway Diyi ion of the t. John Ambulance Brigade at East Loudon. There "were present: Hon. Surgeon Dr. W. B. kinner in command, 4 sergeants and "corporals and 15 men. The division presented a YBry smart appearance onrarade. " After inspection they were put through variolls movements by the serge~nt a.nd " corporals, including marching past (under the ~onorary llrge~n); n:arcblllg w.Ith " closed and open tretchers; preparing and ClOSlllg stretcher ; first ald banuaglllg Land liftinO' wounded and the restoration of the apparently drowned. All these <. exercises ~ere performed in a highly sati factory manner. The equipm~n~, books, " etc., were in order. May I be permitted to add that the greatest ~redIt 1S due to "Dr. Skinner for the efficiency to which he has brought his men, nnalded as he bas « beeu by any drill iustructor or out ide help."

I should like to avail myself of this opportunity of cordially thanking Major Brownlee for his very kind assistance in taking this in5pection which proved so satisfactory to him. The great financial depression through which the colony is passing accounts for the number of changes in the rank and file, men are continually leaving the sea port towns in order to try and seek better prospects np-country. I n my next report, I hope to be able to make mention of at least two nursing divisions, one in Oape Town and one at 'Woodstock, enquiries have already heen received respecting their formation. I haye the honour to be, Sir, Yom obedient Servant, J . A. LTEBJ\IANN, Major.

men transferred to out-station, but it is gratifyi ng to h ear that their interest has not diminished, and that steps are being taken to form other Divisions in the colony. Great zeal and enthusiasm has been shown by the Divi ion during the short time it ha been established. Attendances at drills, etc., have been good, and a keen interest has been taken in Brigade matters generally. During the year a first aid class bas been held, the lecturer being Dr. T. D. Tomory, fiLO.H . , which class helped to strengthen the D ivision, and fill up gaps made by transfers, etc. The Division has been greatly encouraged by the continued interest taken in its progress by :Major A. A . C. 1 elson, D irector of Prisons, O.R.C., and by his generosity in offering prizes for a Divisional Competition held in June last. The annual inspection W:1S held in September, the District Chief uperintendent, Capt. C. T. Urquhart,1\[. D., being the inspecting officer. A S(lUad from this Divi ion had the honour of being first in the annual District Competition held in the Town I-L.ll on 29th September. Cbief uperintendent Lieut. H. .paclmmn , R. A. M. c., has recently introduced the drill of the Royal Life ayjng ociety. Two quads hrwe been selected to take part in the display to take place at the Ramblers' Ground for the edification of the outh African ;'Iedical Congress. The Division clos s the year with a balance of £3 17s. 3d. in its favour .

A tluad on pecial duty has attended four race meetings in Bloemfontein in uniform, and fully elluipped for any emergency. At the fir t annual Di trict Competition tbe first team of this Dirision came in fourth, but it is hoped a better account ,\ill be given next year, a thi year wa a first attempt, and in consequence con idern.ble nel'Yousne" pre,ailed. During the year a picnic and three promenade concerts were held, which, if not succe ' ful financially, were all that could be de 'ired socially, and in bringing the ambulance movement before the public.
