    The following members of the Board of Management retire in accordance with Rule io, viz: Miss Hibbert, Mr. J. Baxendale, Mr. W. Ashton, Mr. J. Fletcher, Junr., Mr. J. J. Kirkman, Mr. W. Harper. To Philanthropic Friends, No gift to the Hospital is more valuable than the endowment of a bed or cot, as the money is permanently invested and the income applied in perpetuity for the maintenance of the desired object. Better means cannot be chosen to commemorate, for all time, the memory of a relative or friend. The following Rule is deserving of serious consideration by philanthropic friends as forming a suitable way to permanently commemorate the loss of a relative or friend, and at the same time do something for the relief of human suffering. Rule.—Every donor of One Thousand Pounds to the Endowment Fund of the Hospital shall have the right to have his or her name affixed to one of the Beds in perpetuity ; and every donor of Five Hundred Pounds shall have the right to have his or her name affixed to one of the Children’s Cots in perpetuity. Three Beds and three Cots have been named on account of donations or bequests :— “ The John Lawrence Brindle Bed.” “ The Lieut-Col. R. Hindle Bed.’’ “ The Joseph Sumner Bed.” “ The James Richmond Cot.” “ The Ian Eastwood Ashton Cot,” “ The John Berry Cot.” In conclusion, the Board wish to thank all those who in any way have contributed to a successful year, financially or by service. JOHN W. RIGBY, Chairman. W. H. HASLAM, Hon. Secretary.
