THE LUNCHEON.

The luncheon was servod up in the large room of the Farmer's Club. Every Mac lean, Esq., President of tho Club, occupied the chair, and Captain Runciman the vice chair. The royal and patnotio toasts wero given from the chair. Mr William Martyn proposed the army and navy which elicited responses from Colonel Lyons and Ciptaiu Ruuciman.

" The Judges," from the chair, was responded to by Mr Waiuwright. He said it was his third year judging in the cattle clas*. Tho quality was there, but not quantity. He regretted tho sruhll number of exhibits. If tho Waikato dis tricts would lay aside their prejudices and combine, shows could be held second to none in the colony. (Cheers.) Mr Macgregor was astonished, though happy, to find himself a judge at the Cam bridge Show. He had seeu animals, the like of which he had not seeu in 'Auckluud before, and nothing like them in Otago. Mr Runcimau was grieved at the poor character of the show. He regretted the absence of Messrs Maclean's stock. 1 "1

Mr Robertson, oE JVlaugere, was sorry"to be called on as he could not praise them. Ho was disappointed with them. There was a screw loose somewhere. He had been to Mahuraugi Shows and they were inlinitely better than the present Cambridge Show. He was that day astonished at the paltry show of butter—some ot it scarcely lit for tho market. [A voice : " That's the fault of the weather.] Mr Robertson continued : You are in a cold climate. Ho might say something to hurt their feeling* [Chairman: " Give it them, Kobertsou.] When the butter was cut it shed a tear (laughter). That butter was churned this morning. It should have been a day old. What were tho Wai kato farmers doing compared with, others ? Only showing four lots iv one class 1 There was a screw loose. He supposed Waikato farmers were above milking cows (laughter). He condemned the bacon and ham exhibi ted. It was gone bad in the heart. One man showed two cheeses, and they were not worth a prize. Mr Major, a merchant, had lots of cheese passed through hi-j hands. He (Mr Robertson) thought it was a shame and a disgrace for Waikato people to send such goods either to market or the show. Mr Kobertson criticised the dairy cow class, contending tliatlJuckland's or Hunter's Bale-yards would, any auction day, enable a man to pick out better stock. A mongrel cow would give more milk than the high-bred one. If breeders would com bine beef and milk together it wojild be better. The style ot dairy cow is .that which gives SOO gallons of milk in the year, but the dairy cows they used to get arc " all kilt and awa." Mr Robertson turned round to the President and was advising him how and what to breed, wheu he was called to order, and collapsed.

Mr Hicks, Vice-Pre3ident of the Club, lamented the poor muster of live stuck, nml regretted that local breeders had tailed to exhibit. Three reasons were given for not exhibiting—the first was pleuro-pneu monia, the second was that breeders pro fessed to be averse to compete with,these who bought off them. lie did not agree with this sentiment. A man, by seeing various herds exhibited Bide by side, could learn more. If gentlemen kept their renowned herds at home how were they or the public to know how they were progress ing. A third reason given was that- the breeders were afraid of each other. (Mr Maclean laughed) When these big breeders go into the , world's market, and at great expense bring out stock, they do not like to run the risk of being beaten. He proposed " The Suc cessful Competitors." Mr E. H. D. Fer guason responded : He was not pleased to respond to such a toast, as he blushed with the honour conferred {voice: "Oh.") He merely replied because he was told to do so. The show was a downright disgrace to. the country. People would not for some reasons show their stock. The time was not far distant when the show would go from Cambridge, and quite right it should if it was not better supported. He proposed the health of the " Unsuccessful Competi tors."

Mr Seddon responded : He was sorry, to hear the three reasons given for the uoa succes3 of the Show as they were not true. (Question.) Did pleuro drive away the horses ? After criticising the reasons adduced, he said the cause was,want of sympathy. He would like Waikuto to be united.

Mr Every Maclean said he had been a jndgein Auckland thirtyyears ago. Ho had been for twenty-nine years an exhibitor and had never failed to win prizes. He had not that to fear, but since their business had merged into a firm it was thought un dignified to drive their cattle "into shows aDd take prizes away. They had. 500 shorthorn cows and a hundred bulls. They nould put fifteen into a class and how could they be afraid of taking prizes. When at former dinners he had to Bit and listen to the prizes read our, he hung his head hearing so much praias sounded. They had imported fitly shorthorn cows and bulls from England, some of them won prizes at the Royal Show. He might say lie was not going to exhibit at Auckland, but if a metropolitan show was held at Wellington he would go there—lt was now no credit for them to take prizes. Their business was to sell stock foe.others to exhibit. A gentleman took his own choice out of their herd, and then, was beaten by another out of the same 'herd; Mr Fantham had one of their .young,- stock which would hold his ground in any show. Mr Fantham proposed "The Press." The Cambridge Band was next given with flattering testimony ss to its worth, and; the great service it had rendered Cambridge. The company then rose to see the"/ horse jumping. Fortunately the weather was hne during the latter part of the day. A number of gentlemen connected with the Farmers Club worked vigorously at the pens and in laying off the ground previous to show day, chief among whom were Captain Runcinian, Messrs R. Reynolds, John Fisher, Francis Hicks, and J. Allwill, while Mr Clarke, who could not come,-con siderately sent a man as a substitute. More than a word is also due to the un tiring zeal and ability of the secretary, Mr Walter Scott, who was unremitting in his attention to his important duties. Host Baynes went to considerable expense to make visitors comfortable, and prepared a substantial cold collation at a moderate charge. -''• ■ " ' ,i 1

THE OFFENDING SIGNBOARD.

The great .agitation over Mr Wells's sign board his ceased. Mr Solicitor Bealo was appointed arbitrator—his decision to be final. This he gave decidedly in favor of Mr Wells, and the aggravating sign-board, on the grounds that tho lease of the ground next the hall w&s not attended with any restriction, which prohibited him from erecting a sign-board over his machinery. Sergeant Brennan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the result, and leaving his post of sentry, went to look at the prize bulls.

The Diocesan Synod.

The Synod met yesterday in tho li nary, Bishop's Court,—the Right llcv. the Bishop of tiie Diocese presiding. There was a large attendance of clorgv and laity. Clergy: Yon. Archdeacon MautiHcU, Yen Arch deacon Prir.t, Kev'S.

PANMURK

Mr Ireland moved the suspension of thfi .Standing Order No. 13, in order to bring before the Synod this resolution :—" That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the reason why the diocesan trustees liuve not given effect to the recommenda tions of the Dioc'san Synod, passed on the 30th of October, 1879—viz., 'That, as the Synod is of opinion that the aite of the pre sent Church of England school-house at Pnnmuro was by a mistake transferred to religious, chmitablc, and oducatioiml pur poses generally, and not for tho settlement of Panmure, the diocesan trustees be re quested to apply to the General Synod to transfer that site to its original destina tion ;' and also, why they have nut, in accordance with ttta resolution of tho Gcu eral Synod, giviug eilect to such resolution, viz. : 'That in acco'rdauco with clause 2 of instructions to trustees, the General Synod do hereby direct tho Trust Board of tlie Diocese of Auckland, as rccommcudcd by tho Synod of tliat diocese, to apply the Panmure school-honsc property, and any income derived there from, to the exclusive benefit-of Panmure, so long as the some shall bo required for the Church purposes of that district, 1SSO'"; to report to tho standing committee. The motion |was agreed to, and the fol lowing Select Committee appointed :—The Rev. ~Mr Gould, Messrs Kice, Upton, Speight, and Ireland. RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN PUBLIC 4j, ; n T i / schools. ;.:» The Rev. F. Gould moved, " That this Synod expresses ita satisfaction with the present system of secular instruction in the public schools, and does not desire any return to the denominational school system formerly in existence.", He felt assured that the resolution would not fail to com mend itself to tho judgment of those who retained a remembrance |of things educa tional as they were under the old denomina tional system. That system he did not wish altogether to decry, for iv large centres of population it might be made to answer very well, but to the requirements of this country it wa3 quite unsuitable. Tho im provement effected in rural districts by the I secular system over that which it hud sup pfaatcd was fully ono hundred per ceut, and by the same proportion tho bona lido school attendance had iucrea*cd. Eiiilca tion had now reached all classes of the community. As ministers of religion, they would find it prudent to accept a system which, as far as it had gone, was producing | the best results, and in any case it was better to have half-a-lotif than no bread.

X)r Pnrchtta considered that all must I agree? that it were bettor to leave the secular uytftein to produce its intended result, viz , that of alfordini; sound practical public in strnction to, the youth of the <;ountry. The, State bad taken the question of public in struction into its hands, and reasoning tint j they were ia duty bound to prevent a whole nation growing up ia ignorance, they natur-, ally held that it was not for them to provide "religious" instruction. This devolved upon the Church. The inlluence of the Chnrch would bo more elfectual when oper ating upon minds which had received some training in knowledges than on minds wholly dark and empty, and hence it should endeavour to make the present, system accessory to the imparting of roli "ioua instruction. He was clad to thiuk that the experiment wlifch had been made in New South- Wales might solve a very difficult problem. Mr S. Luke said ho could give an em phatic and un<iuali(ied support to tho reso lution, for from actual observation ho knew the good tho present admirable system of education was accomplishing. He remom' bered many years ago, wheu the population of Otahuhu was very much larger than at present, that he once paid a vifit to the focal school and found there only sixteen children. He had visited the village school quite recently, and found there 110 children. Hut what was the general result? On the rolls io June, 18S0, there wero no less than 14.54S children, and there was an average attendance of 11,444 children, at 20G schools in this provincial district. The present sys tem was aoiqga ereat public work, and clergymen would'find'that in the generality of cases the child who attcuded the public schools-was mora ; amenable to religious, in struction than '(be'child who' did not' 'It was said that the secular system promoted "larrikinism,"'but he conld give the state ment an absolute denial He. had recently been in a local Magistrate's Court where a number of larrikins were being charged, and everyone of them that went to school at all went to a denominational school.— (Laughter and applause.) At thU stage a number of verbal amend mendments were- put to. the Synod and negatived. ' : The Rev. T. Dudley felt considerable diffidence in approaching a subject like that under ...consideration, when so many abler and more experienced men held opinions contraVy-to his own. Ho readily acknow legcled thatagresit wotk had been achieved, but i?still-Jt was far from complete..'He would admit himself to be a denomi nationalist to a very considerable extent. It was true it might not be the best for small country districts, being more applic able to large centers of population. He protested against the common supposition that he desired to overthrow the present system, of education or instruction. All he wanted was a recognition of the Holy Scriptures in the schools, and a recog nition oi the providence of Almighty God. He would like some passage from Holy Scripture to be agreed upon to be read in the school. In the second place he would as lc namely, that provision be made for a limited number of denominational schools in large centres ot population, these schools to have a conscience clause, and to be subject to Government inspection. He would move as an amendment on the motion '(That this Synod, while expressing satis faction at the results that have been 'ob tained by the present system of secular instruction, would, at the same time, ; be glad to see that system modified, as soon as practicable, by provision being made for reading aloud by the teachers before the scholars, at the opeaing of the school each day, a carefully selected extract from Holy Scripture, and tho recital of the Lord's Prayer." After some farther discussion it was agreed, on the proposition of the Key. Mr Nelson, to divide the resolution into two parts, and to put them soparately. '■ The question was put, " That the Synod expresses its satisfaction with the present system of secular education :— Clergy : Ayes,, 9; . Noes, 12. laity: Ayes, 21; I tioes.S. It is therefore lost. The division list is as follows :— Clergy.—Ayes, 0 : Yen. Archdeacon Pritt, Revs. Baker, Cubitt, Davies, Gould, Haselden, Mnlgan, Purchae, and Walsh. Noes, 12; Yen. Archdeacon Maunaell, Keys. Bree, Calder, Dudley, Hall, Hitch cock, Lambert, Long, Nelson, Phillips, Tcbbs, and Willis. LArrr.—Aye*, 21; Batger, Cochrane, Crispe, Dargaville, Daonin, Gosset, Ham mond, Hughe3, Ireland, Jackson, Kilgour, Kirkbride, Luke, D. H. Lusk, Nolan, Pierce, Speight; Vickers, Williams, Wool lams, Yonge. "Noes, 8; Burnside, Clayton, Haultain,. Kensington^ Mitford, Mumford, Upton;'Willcocks.' The names were, entered on the minutes, upon the motion of Mr Hughes. Question put: " That the Synod does not desire any return to the denominational system as it formerly existed."—This was carried. • The Rev. Mr Gould then moved his second resolution: "For this reason this Synod cannot endorse the recommendations of the General Synod ' That grants in aid may be made to schools set on foot by any religions denomination provided the attendance and secular instruction in such schools shall come up to the required standard, and satisfy She Government Inspectors.'" - The president said that while he agreed with Mr Gould's first resolution, with the second he did not agree, because they were not called upon to endorse the resolution of the General Synod. He thought it would be an exceedingly bad precedent to declare a determination that they did not endorse

a resolution of the General Synod, seeing that It did not como strictly within their Erovince. He hoped Mr Gould would see is way to withdraw it. The Rev Mr Gould substituted " does not agree with " for " cannot endorse." Mr W. J. Speight spoke vigorously in support of the motion. He had the utmost confidence in declaring that the laity of the church were opposed to any return to denom iuationalism, and with all possible defer ence to the clergy he would say that they could not impart religious education in the schools without the assistance of the

laity. With regard to the proposition re tho Now South Wales Act it struck him very forcibly that the disposition of the clergy was to saddle tho responsi bility of religious instruction upon the teachers. Ir had been said that larrikiuism . was the direct result of a secular system of education but he challenged the state ment. It was an indisputable fact that the communion whoso spiritual education was most carefully attended to iv this colony—the Roman Catholics—was the one which contributed tho largest proportion of our criminals. This was a sulh'cient refutation of tho aspersion cast upon secular education. He hoped that the motions \yonld be pressed to a division, for it was time that they should see who'w who, and what's what. Archdeacon Maunsell disclaimed any intention on the part of the Synod to over turn the present .system of education, and to return to doiiomiualioualisrn. Neither the Church nov the clergy had any such desire. Still they felt it to be a disgrace to stand at the door of a public school and say : " There is no Bible here —it is the only pro scribed book heio." Ilis friend, Mr Speight, had raised falso issue?. Tho true issue was—yhall tho State place ita stigma upon tho word of God ? The Rev. C. M. Nelson wished it known (hut he sailed iv tho same boat us the last speaker. For tho same reasons as he had suited he would not as an Englishman, us a Christian, and us a Churchman, allow ho much dishonour to bo done the word of God as to proscribe it from the public schools. Tho Rev. Lush detailed some of his ex periences iv iinpuitiiijj religious instruction to public M'luml children fit the Thames. Tho Hey. Philip Walsh wished it stated that so far as he had been able to see there was no antagonism botweon the clerey and laity. They worked very amicably together. Mr John Batgcr wished to make asimilar assurance on the pait of the laity. Mr Speight had used a great deal of exagger ation. Tho President remarked that some of the highest public educational institutions in England wero conducted by clcr^ymon, The Rev. W. ('alder said that it was ouly because tho Bishop had relinquished the chance of returning homo to England that he had relinquished tho idea of slaughtering Mr Speight for ua hour and a-balf. (Loud laughter.) Mr Speight remarked that the feat could hardly occupy such a length of time. The Key. Mr Dudley expressed Ills firm conviction that as tho population became more numerous and wealthier denomina tional schools would increase and multiply. The two systems nhonld work well side by side, for they did so in tho Old Country. lie was aho assured that Government inspection of all schools was a thing to be desired. The Rev. W. N. de L. Willis spoke in »up. poit of the amendment. He hoped that tho names of those on cither side would be taken down. Mr Hughes held that the question raised a distinct issue, blink it as they might, and that issue w&< denominationolism or secularism. Now he fully admitted that denominational schools were a very good in stitution, but ho strongly objected to their maintenance; from State funds. Mr Doouin said that while he endorsed some of the principles euuuciatcd by Arch deacon Maunsell he was thoroughly and absolutely opposed to tho opinions advo cated by the Key. Mr Dudley. He was sure that every member of Iho Syuod' i would approve of tho intro duction of the Bible into the schools, as a clasH book, for it was the t-tai • dard under which Englishmen had won their freedom, but thoy would not tolerate the support of denominational schools from public funds. Ilr G. P. Pierce narrated some instances of the kind of abuses which were fostered and which throve under the old denomina tional system, and thcu said that this was the system which they were urged to hark back to — a aystcni of shams. Mr llcywood Crispp, as a country mem ber, hoped that the Synod would place an emphatic veto upon any attempt to injure the present excellent system of educa tion. Tho Key. W. Calder, aa the unfortunate man who had seconded the amendment, felt inclined to say a few words. It seemed to him that his friend Mr Pierce was some what of a drum. Mr Speight: And you ate the drumstick, I suppose. (Laughter.) MrCalder : Exactly. He was the drum stick to beat the drum. (Renewed laugh ter,) After some remarks upon the prac tical benefits accruing from private educational effort?, the rev. gentle man concluded by saying that it seemed a manifest advantage for the country to have two schools, where now it had only ouey and that, he submitted, would be the result of the establishment of the two systems side by side. Mr S. Luke: Which means that where we have the means of paying for an ellicieut teacher now, wo shall then be obliged to put up with two inferior ones. The Rev. Mr Dudley moved and the Rev. Mr Calder seconded, "That provision shall be made for limited assistance >o denom inational schools in certain specified centres of population contingent upon their coming up to Government standard in attendance, efficiency, and secular attainments." Thi Synod divided with the following result: — •, Clergy Ayes, 8 Noes, 13 Laity ... ... Ayeaj 1 Noes, 28 Ayes, 9 Noe?, 41 It was. therefore lost. The rcsolutiou was also lost, the division being:— ■ Clergy ... Ayes, 9 Noes, 13 Laity Ayes, 26 . Noes, 6 Ayes, 35 Noes, 19 A majority of each order is required to carry a motion. . ■- • •, The Rev. F. Gould then moved his third resolution, viz.: This Synod believes that all necessary facilities for imparting reli gions instruction in the public schools may be obtained by the adoption of the law now inforce in New South Wales, andaccordingly strongly recommends such an amendment of the Education Act as may bring it into accordance with the same. Tho Rev. Mr Hall seconded.

Dr. Kilgour moved as an amendment : " That all the words in the motion after '■publicschools,1 shall be struck ont, and in lieu thereof shall be introduced the follow ing :/" are already provided for in the education now in force iv New Zealand," and also that the word " practicable " be inserted for " necessary." He denied that the State had tbc slightest concern with religious instruction, and be was assured that no National system of education other than a secular one would prove satisfactory or even workable. He also challenged the statements oE those who-urged that secular education led to immoral, results.. On the contrary,-it had resulted in a diminution of crime. Victoria was a notable illustra tion of the fact, and the recent re ductions in our police force shewed that the same thing was taking place here. (Cries of " Question.") He behoved that but for the present educational system such reductions would not have been practicable. The Yen Archdeacon Maunsell seconded the amendment' 'pro form A,"and in a vigorous speech ho characterised the proscription of the Bible from the public schools as an insult to God.

The amendment was put, with tho fol lowing result : — Clergy ... ... Ayes, 0 Noes, 23 Laity Aye?, 7 Noes, 24 Ayes, 7 Noes, 47 The Rev B. T. Dudley then moved as an amendment and it was seconded: " This Synod will bo glad to see such facilities for imparting religious instruction as are given by the Education Act now in force in New South Wales, afforded by the Government of this country in the public schools of this country." Mr Gould withdrew his reso lution in favour of this amendment. The result of the division was as follows:— Clergy Ayes, 22 Noes, 0 Laity Ayes, 20 Noes, 8 Ayes, 42 Noes, 8 EPISCOPAL SELF-DENIAL. , Colonel Haultain moved the following resolution: "The Synod having learned, with great satisfaction, that His Lordship the Biahop, though pressed to return to England, has refused to relinquish his charge of this diocese, desire to record their sense of the high motives which prompted him to forego considerable personal advan tages rather than forsake his post in the colony." He considered that His Lord ship's decision must have the effect of en dearing him to his clergy, and the members of the Church besides being an example of devotion to work, which would have the best results. (Applause.)

I Dr. Maunsoll remarked that the Church I had been prosperous under two men of con ciliation and peace, Dr. Selwyn and the present Bishop. Mr Pierce thought the resolution of the Bishop ought to move the Church to im prove his position, which was one of the greatest responsibility, coupled with hard work and a small stipend. The President briefly expressed his obli gations to the gentlemen who had spoken of him in such flattering terms. After nar rating how he came to accept the charge of the Auckland dioceae, tie concluded thusly : —I came to New Zealand as 1 thought for ten years, fora man must break down some time. These ten years have passed, aud I am still able to work. 1 think every man ought to stand by his duty until by some very strong reason he is obliged to retire from it. Mrs Cowic and myself have deter mined to remain hero until some urgout rea son compels us to leave. I thank tho mem bers of the Synod again foV the kindness they have shown me. (Loud applause.) The Synod rose at 13.15.

James Williamson, Esq., M.L.C., Preei-; dent of Directors, in moving the report aud balance-sheet, said :— The result of the post half-year's opera tions as embodied iv the report and balance sheet, which you have just heard read is uot so good as I had hoped. AVlieu on last addressing you from this chair, I called attention to the handsoino balauce wo carried forward, aud expressed a hope that at this period wo would be able to make a substantial addition to the reserve fulid—still it affords ample ground for con gratulation, us we have baeu.able to main tain our dividend out of the legitimate pro fits of the half-year, without treuching on the balance held over from the previous period. Shareholder* will, no doubt, have been paying some attention to the repotta of other colonial banks during tho past six months, which all bear testimony to the general depression in business still prevail ing throughout the colonies, and this, com bined with the difficulty of finding tempor ary outlet for the large resoures at our com mand, and the Jhigh rates which, till re cently, have ruled for deposits, sufficiently account for the limitation of our profit!l. You will, however, understand that I do not consider fifteen per cent, on a capital of a million or an annual return to shareholders of one hundred and fifty thou sand pounds leaves room for any apology. We sco no difficulty iv continuing to pay it; and as trade revives and opportunity occurs to make more active and profitable use of the resources at our command wo will no doubt, be able in addition to increase the already handsome reserve fund, which surplus pro fits of past years have} built up, and which now so materially adds to the dividend-earn-, ing power of the Bank. Shareholders resi dent in this Provincial District, which hoi been comparatively tree from the result ot over-speculation, cannot well realise the effect of the over-inflation of the past two years in other parts of the colony. 'With such a large proportion of tho business of tho colony, it could not be expected that we could avoid, nor do we wish in any way to blink the fact Of our having had consider able losses, but it is a satisfaction to bo able to assure you that we have been able to provide for them out of profits, and we have now the more cheering prospects ot reviving trade and increased success in all the staple industries of the colouy. The prospects of agriculturists hare rarely been brighter than at the present time, and pas toral interests also appear to have a bright future before them. In the general pros perity which these prospect* foroshadow, this institution must participate.and when I have the privilege of again addressing you from this chair 1 have no doubt I will be1 able to congratulate you on increasingly favourable results. The figures in tho balance-sheet require little comment at this time, as practically they remain as they were at the last balancing period. It will bo seen that our resources in London are maintained at a very high point, that beinp the ouly market in which we can command temporary employment for surplus funds ; but I trust the growing requirements of business in the colony will ere long enable us to use our funds locally, and to better advantage than the existing low price of money in London has enabled us to do. It will be noticed that a considerable increase has been made to the item of Bank premises duriug the half-year, which is due to our having paid for the handsome building pur chased in Sydney, and to partial payment of premises in course of erection iv Dunedin, It may, however, be satisfactory to share holders to know that a re-valuation of the Bank's properties would amply provide more than sufficient to pay a full dividend, but our policy has been and will contiuiio to be to write down this item far below value. With these remarks, I beg to move the adoption of the report and balance sheet as read.

Mr J. C. Firth :Mr President and gentle men, the statement that has been read, and the comments made upon it by the Presi dent, as to the nature and extent of the operations of this bank during the past half year, leave hardly anything more to bo said. Iv fact I am sure that they do not need any comment from me at all. The operations of the bank during the past year have been eminently satisfactory, as you will havo observed; and such being the case in the last half-year, which was a very difficult period, I see no reason to doubt that in the now period—a period which will, it is to be hoped, of more prosperous thin that which has just closed—the affairs of the bank will shew a less prosperous state than |We have experienced in the past. I have great pleasure in seconding the motion for the adoption of the report. The President put the motion, which was carried unanimously. The President: Gentlemen, If there are any questions that you wish to ,put to the

Board we shall be glad to answer them to the best of ont ability. No questions being asked, ho proceeded : —If not, we will proceed to the next busi ness, which is the election of two directors —one in room oi Mr G. B. Owen, who re tires by rotation, and the other to iill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Alfred Cox, early in the past half-year, to which vacancy the lion F. Whitaker had boon temporarily nomiuated by the Board, and now retiresiu tennsof the deed of settle ment, but is eligible for election.. John Logan Campbell, Esq., and Honourable l'\ Whitaker being the only candidates, I de clare them duly elected—the former to succeed Mr G. B. Owen, and the latter to complete Mr Cox's teun. The lion F. Whitaker : I should like to take the opportunity of thanking the share holders for electing me so unanimously, at all events without opposition to tho honor able position in which 1 am placed. Six months ago tho Directors of tho Bauk, ■when a vacancy occurred, asked me to accept a seat on the Board. I felt Mattered and honoured by tho oiler, inasmuch as they had opportunities of judging of tho valuo of my efforts on behalf of the Bank, having been one of those who assisted at it's institution, and having taken a very active part in its affairs since. Now that you have elected mo to the position of a Director I fcul honoured by it, because I look upon this institution as one ot the most valuablo in tho colony, valuable because of the dividends which it roturns to tho shareholders, and important because of the advantages it confer.) on tho couutry whose resources it has developed, to :i very great extent. Under such circum stances 1 would not bo doing justice to the position in which you have placed me were I not to acknowledge tho honor. Mr P. Comisky proposed and Mr T. Hill seconded that Messrs A. K. Taylor and G, B. Owon be appointed auditors. —Carried unanimously. liuv. Shirley W. Baker : I have groat pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to tho Uireoiors and ollkcrs of this bank. I am Buro wo aro all tuuch pleated at tho report which has been presonted to us, and with what wo have heard. 1 only hopo tho bauk will bo as successful in tho future as it has becu in the past, 1 have very great plea sure in .noving a vote of thanks to tho Directors and oiHccrs for their cllicient services during the past year. ■:'■ Mr Joseph Ilowardsaid : " Mr President, I have much plcasuro in seconding thu wcll oiirioil coi dial aodhearty vote ot thanks to ttic Directors, General Manager, and officers of tho Bauk, to which they arc entitled after tho most satisfactory statement sub mitted to-day, and the clear policy indicated in your address." Tho motion was carried unanimously. The President : Iv acknowledging the vote of thanks I may say that 1 feel very much gratified at tho frequent repetitions wo have had of this vote of confidence. There is nothingtbat I have beencouuected with in Now Zealand in which I have taken a greater iutcrost than in the progress of this institution. I might quote whnt has been quoted before, that I have rocked it in its cradle, but I do not wish to go auy further in that quotation and say that 1 shall follow it to its grave. I hopo it will bo a very long time before that will take place. All I can say that having been placed by tho proprietors in tho position of Directors of this institution we havo used our greatest efforts to encour age and promote its best interests, and my endeavour will be to make it pay the best dividends that can bo carried under thu present circumstances of the couutry. I have to thauk you very much for the vole you have passed. The General Manager Raid : 1 have much pleasure in rcturniug thanks on behalf of the staff tor tho vote which the shareholders have juat passed. As the chairman re niarkod, it is truly gratifying that such vot*s are so uuiformly passed at our half-yearly meetings, and I can assure you the rcpiti tiou of it now will bo duly appreciated by tho stall', who I doubt not will use every exertion to bring about the results fore shadowod in tho chairman's speech. I bee ogiiiu to thank you for your vote. Tho rough minutes having been signed the proceedings ended.
