At this season of the year, and׳ throughout the summer, the somewhat old-fashioned and quaint little Surrey town of Dorking is thronged with cyclists and other visitors. Few towns have grown more of late in the estimation of the holiday-seeker, mainly, we presume, because it is in the very heart of the loveliest scenery of a county famous for its scenery. One of the best-known inns here, the Red Lion, is to be offered by Messrs. Knight and Brangwin to auction, at Masons’ Hall Tavern, E.C., on Tuesday next, May 16.

man of the !South Wales and׳ Monmouthshire Branch.
Mr. Alexander remarked that he would have very great pleasure in conveying to the members of his branch their kind expression. He felt perfectly sure that they would appreciate most highly the kind manner in which the toast was received. The South Wales and Monmouthshire branch was established only last year, and he was happy to say they had between 50 and 60 members. The President, in mentioning this ait the annual meeting that afternoon, had stated that successful as they in South Wales had been in regard to their branch, they in Yorkshire were determinted to be one better (laughter). All he could say in reply was that if that was going to be the case, it was only natural to expect that the progress of both branches from now onward would be extremely rapid, for if Yorkshire were going to be one better, South Wales would endeavour !to be one better still (laughter, and applause). They in South Wales were very particular in regard to the membership of their branch ; they never asked anybody to become members—applications were purely voluntary, and they were in the first place submitted to headquarters for consideration before they were accepted. He believed the provincial branches to be the very essence of their strength. The practice in the various districts was different, and therefore it followed that it was only local practitioners who were able to deal efficiently and satisfactorily with local matters. He desired to take that opportunity of saying how much he was indebted to the parent institution for their kindly consideration of every matter which he had submitted to !them.
Mr. W. Roland Peck (Vice-President) gave “ The Visitors,” remarking that the visitors had accepted their hospitality that evening, because they believed that their Institute was founded cn broad and solid principles, and that whilst it was fulfilling its duty in raising the status of the profession, it was also doing a public benefit by seeing that none but qualified and efficient auctioneers were allowed to. enter their ranks (applause). He coupled with the toast the name of Mr. T. Milvain, M.P., Recorder of Bradford.
Mr. Milvain having briefly responded, the proceedings terminated, and the company dispersed.
The dinner was served in a manner which reflected the greatest credit upon the management.
FORMATION OF A WESTERN COUNTIES’ BRANCH.
A meeting of the members of the Institute resident in the West of England was held at Exeter last week, when Mr. W. W. Cox, of Torquay, and Mr. W. J. Villar, of Taunton, reported that they had interviewed the Council of the Institute, who were willing that a Western Counties’ Branch should be formed. The following signified their desire to join the branch : —■Messrs. W. W. Cox (Torquay), T. Martin (Exeter), W. J. Villar (Taunton), A. Bromley Sanders (Exeter), W. S. P. Force (Exeter), E. C. Rowe (Exeter), E. Ellis (Plymouth), W. J. Lamb (Devonport), A. Park-house (Plymouth), C. J. Hannaford (Ohulm-leigh), J. Ivittow (Launceston), D. Lloyd (Wells), W. Tapper (Teignmouth), F. Frost (Teignmouth), .1. S. Lucas (Exeter), H. Braund (Ilfracombe), Cock (Bideford), W. Bailey (Camborne), and A. E. R. Brett (Exeter).
Mr. W. Wilkinson Cox (Torquay) was elected Chairman, and Messrs. Martin (Exeter) and Villar (Taunton), Vice-Chairmen. The following were chosen to act on the Committee: — Messrs. A. Parkhouse (Plymouth), W. J. Lamb (Devonport), F. Ellis (Plymouth), W. Bailey (Camborne), J. Kittow (Launceston), W. Tapper (Teignmouth), Cock (Bideford), D. Lloyd (Wells), Braund (Ilfracombe). For Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer, Mr. A. Bromley Sanders (Exeter) was elected, Mr. W. S. P. Force, of Exeter, being elected Hon. Auditor. The formation of the branch has aroused considerable enthusiasm among members of the Institute in the west, and a strong effort will be made to reach the high position that Yorkshire and Kent have attained to.
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
At a meeting, of the Council held in the Lecture Hall of the Institute, yesterday (Friday), Mr. Edward Dobson in the chair, Mr. W. Roland Peck, F.S.I., of the firm of Hampton and Sons, Cockspur-street, Pall Mall, S.W., was unanimously elected President for the ensuing year.
Sale of the Beattfobt Estates. — The Monmouthshire estates of the Marquis of Worcester (now the Duke of Beaufort) were offered to auction, at the Town Hall, IJsk, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, by Messrs. Drivei and Co., of Pall Mall. There׳ was a very large attendance. The most interesting lot, comprising the ruins of Usk Castle with the Castle House and grounds, was sold to Mr. A. Adams Williams, of Llangibby Castle, for £18,370. The sporting estate of Monkswood, 1,116 acres, was sold to the Marquis of Bute who bought several other properties. Lord Raglan also purchased several lots. Details of the sale will appear in our next issue.

a necessary evil rather than an unmitigated blessing. ׳However, the statute hook was really the protection of liberty, and there was very little doubt that those who administered the law did a very great deal towards promoting the prosperity of the country (applause). Mr. Ren-toul, probably anticipating the time when he would take part in the deliberations of that sleepy assembly (laughter! had defended the House of Lords with great ability. They had heard him apologise■ for the House of Commons. He was not going to follow suit and apologise for the legal profession (laughter); the members of which were underpaid and overworked (oh, oh, and laughter). He would not say that they were always in Court to attend to a case, or that when they ׳were prevented by any accident from attending to a case they all of them returned their fees, but he would say emphatically that, in his opinion, no reform, such as had been recently proposed by a• leading member of the Bar — Sir Edward Clarke — was necessary.
Mr. J. B. Margetts also responded. He said the connection between the auctioneers and solicitors, particularly in regard to real property sales, was very close indeed, and together they performed duties which ^eiy conduced to the benefit of the public.
Mr. Ernest Flower, M.P., in proposing “ The Auctioneers’ Institute׳ of the United Kingdom,” said that amongst those who were engaged in the same occupation there invariably existed a spirit of comradeship and good-fellowship, and it was easy to perceive why that spirit should lead to a desire for professional honour. The standard of each and every occupation which engaged the thoughts and the iiands of man was to be gauged and to he reckoned by that which they themselves placed upon■ it, and unless they had a sincere desire to promote not only the commercial, but the higher, interests of each individual calling, an association such as theirs was certain to fall behind, and would fail to take its place amongst those institutions —those captains of industry—to whose collective actions the country owed so much. The speaker proceeded to eulogise the work performed by the members of the Institute. The auctioneer was a poet—such as Mr. Robins was, and he hoped the race would be perpetuated amongst the members of the Instituie. He trusted that professional honour would long continue to actuate the auctioneers of the country. That they were increasing in numbers was only natural, and he heartily wished them prosperity ■in the future (applause).
The President, upon rising to respond, was most enthusiastically received, the cheering being loud and continued. He said that was the last occasion upon; which he would have an opportunity of addressing the members as sheir President, and he must say at once that he was extremely proud of the position he had occupied (applause). A great deal had been said about the objects of the Institute. One of its principal objects was to do something for the public as well as for themselves (applause). During the past month more had been done for the public by the Institute than had probably been done for many years. Their progress had simply been remarkable. During the past yeai he was glad to say that 60 young men had submitted themselves ■for the examinations which the Institute had organised for their benefit (applause). He well remembered a time when they did not dare to call theirs a profession, but happily they now enjoyed the entire confidence of the public (applause), and were determined to stand high amongst the professions of she country (applause). Already ■they had 1,200 members scattered throughout the three portions of the kingdom, and during his year of office he ■had been brought in contact with auctioneers in far distant parts of the country with results of the happiest nature. He would like to express publicly his personal thanks to the members of the Council, all of whom had been of very great assistance to him, and had combined׳ to make his year of office the happiest that it was possible for any president to .׳?pend (applause). His love for his profession was greater to-day than ever it was, and he would continue ■to do his very utmost to further the interests of the Institute, and give unstinted support to his successors in the chair (applause).
Mr. James F. Field (Past President) gave “ The Provincial Branches.” He said the company had been told what the objects of the Institute were; without the provincial branches he was perfectly certain that it would be quite impossible to carry those objects out. It ought to be a well-known fact that that Institute was not established solely for the benefit of its members, but for the benefit of the public at large. There was one little detail wbich could not be dealt with from headquarters, but which they hoped could be efficiently dealt with by the branches; he referred to the regulation of fees. Mr. Field mentioned the newly-formed South Wales branch as having already formulated a scale of charges which might or might not be satisfactory to the public, but which was entirely satisfactory to themselves (laughter). He coupled with die toast the name of Mr. D. T. Alexander, Ghair-
