PRESENTATION TO DR. PHILSON.

TaE presentation of a complimentary testimonial to Dr. Philsoa, on the occasion his retirement from the charge of the Auckland Hospital, took place at noon to day in the New Zealand Insurance Build ing. There were 50 or GO leading citizens present, and J. M. Clark, Fsq„ Mayor, presided. Dr. Philson, on entering the hall and taking a seat on the platform be side the Mayor, was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. The Major said that he had been reque-t ted by the Citnmittce on behalf of tlie people of Auckland, to present to Dr. Phil, son an address aud tbe accompanying pre sents as a token of the feelings of coufi-. deuce and respect ente;tainel for him. He had complied with much pleasure, both because he thought that euch a pre-cnta tion ought to bs made by the Mayor, and because Df. Philson waa such a veiy old ■rjecd of his own. Ho would now read tha ddress.

Ihe Mayor then read the acldiess which wa s as follows ;-

Tn Thomas Monro Phl-'aon, ICEq, M P., M K.0.f.. Kdlnbawb, Oor'iicrfor the Pro vincial W.Btdui ot Aucfc.'avi, aod Kto frc vinoial Burgeon of the Froviuola' Dlstriot ot Anokland,

Daarßlr.-A number of tho real icntu ot tho Provincial Dietrktot Auckland, many or you* fnilow colonists tot tho last 40 yeara, take tuu o D oortnnltyofycnrr«tt;ini?fromiho Auck'nud Soißlta', ot which} ou havo hud tho principal rn-ilicßlandaurgloalcoiriJO during tho la-t 21 ™rs. to express tht It appreciation ot Jhß skin and faithfulness which son havo manifested in that position, dls rMardliig all personal and family con sideration, and even whilo suffering yoursclt voa have ever been at your post. The holpless have always received your lirst care, and you havo beon an example to all under you. We cannot allow you to retiro without availing our selves of-the opportunity to oxpress our sym nathy for you, suffering as you arc from an accident, consequent upon the discharge cf your lato duties. Your skill as a surgeon, devotion to your professional duties, unrelenting atten tion, and almost paternal solicitude for the suf ferers under your care, aro univorsolly ac knowledged, and your noble self-saorillco when tho smallpox was flrst introduced hero' will over ba gratofnUy remenibaied by ns ail. In tha natre of C(i7 eubjorlbew, and aa an ex pression ot taelraiTeoUonato reinojiibrano?, we tat to band you tee accompanying purse, and trnflt that your valnibie nio may be long spared to enjoy thit repose you havo eu nobly earned."

[The address was signed by the chairman of the committie, Mr F. Larkins, Mr Bwington, hon. secretary, His Worship the Mayor, and the members of the committee ]

He did not thiuk he had much to add (o the address. He had known Or Pbilson for 33 year?, and could testify that tta people of -.uckland respected him, not only as a professional man, but also a3 a n-an and a citizen. (Applause) The Mayor then handed the Doctor a handsome gold chronometer and chain, a morocco-bound volume of names of the sub scribers to the testimonial a puree of sovereigns, and a silver cird-caie for Mrs Philson. In making the lost pre sentation, he said he dirt it with much pleasure, as no lady in Auckland was bo greatly respected as Mrs Philson. She had been active ia every good work, and abundant in chanty, and had tot only given her means, but also her time on works of mercy, sho hart given much of her time to the Old Women's Refuge and to' the Ladies' Bonevolent Society, In conclusion, he wished Or, and Mrs Philson long life aud piosperity. Dr, Philson said: May it please Your Worship, I occupy a position this day at ooce trying and gratifying; trying because I feel out of place when I am called to ! appear in public, and truly I would have shrunk from the ordeal but that I could not so ill-requite your great kindoes?, as to allow myself to be influenced by natural sensitiveness on so impoitmt an occasion as the present. It is matter of sincere gratification to ma to receive from my fellow colonists among whom I have lived nearly 40 years, so flattering a testimonial as has now been presented to me, and which amply repajs mo for my humble endeavours to do my duty in tho position it pleased God to place me. I rejoice that my good intentions have been appreciated and rewarded by a discerning community. I regard the pre sent demonstration as tho outcome of your anxiety fer my welfare at a time when 1 thought I was lying at tbo gates of death, and 1 desire to take this opportunity of publicly thanking you, and professing that tbe feeling then given expression to would have been quite enough to satisfy my most sanguine expectations. But I am now called upon to thank you for much more, and am at i loss for words to thank those warm friends who have augmented this movement at great personal trouble and expense This valuable watch I shall wear with pardon able piide. It will remind me ot my obli gation to continued perseverance in well doing and of your utparalelled generosity. On behalf of my wife I beg to return thanks for your kind thoughtfulness of her, and to assure you that she, equally with me, appreciates your sympathy and muniicence. The money accompanying these presents I propose, with your con currence to devote to the formation of the nucleus of a medical library tor the use of the medical school, which, I hope will soon be inaugurated in connection with the Auckland Hospital. (4pplause.) Thus, I think, I shall best consult my own honour, I again beg yon, my esteemed friends, to accept my warmest thanks and best wishes. (Applause.)

The Mayor said he had to thank Dr. Philson for his noble gift. It was another evidence of his unselfish disposition. Dr, Philson said he had to be thankful to his triends for giving him an opooitu nlty of being liberal at so small a personal cost.

Mr J. B, Russell suggested that, with the Doctor's concurrence, the library should be called "the Philson Library," (Applause.) Dr. Philson said a few words, which were understood to.be an objection. Mr Russell said that the founders of most libraries only gave the nucleus. Dr. Philson had planted the seed, and the tree should be called after him,

The proceedings then terminated, Messrs Sbalders and Hill being appointed auditors to wind up the fund, The address presented to Dr Philson was mo3t tastefully illuminated. The lettering was by Mr Palmer, and the decorations by Mr Watkin. The border was a' New Zealand Forest wene, excellent pictures of the kauri, nlkau, and other New Zealand trees assist ing in the offect. At the top of tho addre:s was a picture of the Auckland Hospital. The chronometer is valued at over £100, ard has a suitable inscription. Tho purse contained 270 sovereigns.

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, stated that tho assets of the company amounted to £91,000, and the liabilities to £36.557, and as 8000 shares had been issued, if tho liabilities were deducted from the assets, and the balance divided by the good shares, this would make each of ihom of the value of £7 ss. Then sgaiu, to take another cal culation, if the standing timber wero valued at 3d per 100 feet, the shares should stand at £10 7s Bd, while it the valuation were Gd, the shams would be £12 12s, The property it held was aa follows :— Land belonging to tho New Zeaiand Timber Company (Limited), situated at Whanga poua :-Freehold : Otaugaru, 4,200 actes; Opou, 291 acres; Owerj, 5,000 acres j Opitonui, 8,837 acres; Waitekauri. 4,783 acres; Bikitawntawa, 1,650 acres i Paiaea, 88 acres; ,To Bangi, 467 acres ; mill sites at MauDgatapu and Operu, 94 acres; total: 25,410 acres. Leasehold: 553 acres at Herougaherchere for 99 years, at a rental of £1 per annum if demanded. Grand total, 25,943 acres. Gold too had beeu found upon this land, and part of it was arable. The publio seemed to-be quite unaware of the value of the company, and this, was partly due to the fact that this was the first year in which a dividend had been paid, and partly to the tenacity with which the shares had been held, especially by membets of his his own family, tha business had largely incieased, and there were now 23 machines and 5 smaller enea at work, and in a few days the 23 large machines would be in creased to 25, as a Scotchman and a Yankee had just been imported. The oompany also employed at its Auck laud mill 7S men .and 21 bojs, while tee total number of hands in Auck> land and Whangapoua was 200, anditfre« quently ran up to 400, Mt Harris *6n< eluded by attributing the company's success in great measure to the zeal and activity ol Mr Jagger and the manager at Whanga poua. Mr D. B. McKenzie seconded the motion, which "was then put and carried.

Mr J. M. Shera, in ;a. complimentary manner, proposed a vote of thanks to the directors and officers of the Company. The motion was seconded by Mr H. B:ett, and passed unanimously. Mr George Harper returned thanks on behalf of the directors, and Mr Jagger responded for the officers of the Company. Mr Masefield being the only candidate for the vacancy in the directorate was re elected, and Mr T. L. Whits was te appointed auditor. The meeting was then resolved into an extraordinary one, whereupon tho Chair man moved, " That the capital of the Co, be increased from £30,000 to £65,000, by the issue of 5000 new sbaros of £5 each, and that 2500 shares ot the above issue shall be offered at par to the present shareholders in proportion to the ex'sting sharea now held by them." He said that the directors in tended to mako two issues of 2500 shares, half of each issue to be offered tp the share holders and half to the public, Mr D. H. McKenzie seconded the motion, and in doing so pointed out the benefits that would result from the proposed enlargment of capital. In answer to Mr Devore the chairman said that the payments for the new shares by shftreholners would have to be cash, and that with respect to those offered to the pub lic, the directors would not be justifiett in accepting less than a considerable pre mium.

Mr Devore said Ihat it was rather remarkable to propose only an in crease of shares from 40,000 to 65,000 if, as stated, upon a . calcu lation of 6d for standing timber 12 guineas would be a low value for the shares, es. pecially seeing that that was just double their market price. He thought that a proposal to double tho capital should be made, and he therefore moved nn amend ment to that effect.

Mr Masefield opposed the amendment, as the effect of doubling the capital would be to depreciate the value of the shares held by present shareholders. Besides I - would not be advisable to put so many shares in the market.

Mr Davis eeconded Mr Devore'a amend ment. He did not see why the shareholders should run the risk of losing part of their money by having the shares in the market as at present, quoted at half their actual value, An en deavour should be mado to retain the shares among the present shareholders. Mr Brett advocated the issuing of the shares to the present sharo. they should have any benefit resulting from the enlargement of the capital. The;cbairman expressed himself in favour of admitting moro of the public into the concerniiu preference to assisting to increase the number of big shareholders. Mr Biett replied that the result would be detrimental to the interests of the small shareholders, who, in order to increase their stock, would have to go into the market and buy at an enhanced value. After some further discussion, the amend ment was put and carried num. con., and it was agreed that the whole of the 8000 new shares should be offered to the shareholders at par., and that the balance which re. mained after they had exercised their choice, should be offered to the public in such lo's as the directors shall hereafter The meeting terminated with a vote of : thanks to the Chairman,
