The Oldest Paper Published in the Landed Interests.
LONDON, MAY 13, 1899.
TWO INTERESTING FUNCTIONS.
This week has witnessed two remarkably pleasant functions, the one being the annual dinner of the Surveyors’ Institution, and the other being a similar gathering in connection with the Auctioneers’ Institute. The former was this year even more than usually brilliant, as befits the eminence of the Institution’s removal into the new building. In addition to a very large gathering of Fellows and Associates, there were many distinguished guests, first among them being the Speakeb of the House of Commons. In the circumstances it would have been impossible that the speeches should have been other than of a complacent order. The Institution has, indeed, everything upon which to congratulate itself. From very small beginnings it has grown up to an exceedingly vigorous maturity, and has in a generation reached a position which most professional societies attain only after a very long and arduous probation. Mr. Vigers, the President, was fully justified in everything that he said on this topic in replying to the toast of the evening. An increase in membership from 200 to 8,000, and the migration from premises, which, although not exactly small, were utterly inadequate to the growing needs of the Institution—these are great things to have accomplished in a relatively short life. And the satisfaction which the members must feel is necessarily increased
