    We must all lament that the voice which advocated this town as your place of annual meeting will be heard no more. The energy and fervour of Mr. Clayton’s manner, his singular con¬ versance with the affairs of the Association, and his judicious advice in its management, will be missed by the active mem¬ bers ; whilst we, his intimate fellow-workers, regret the loss of one possessed of great perceptive and executive ability, and endeared to us by many estimable personal characteristics. Other hands, however, will be extended in friendship and brotherhood ; other voices will proclaim our hearty apprecia¬ tion of your visit. As the representative of the Birmingham and Midland Coun¬ ties Branch of the Association, and in the name of the whole profession of the district, I say to all our visitors—Welcome! welcome ! thrice welcome !
