Abstract
THE annual spring meeting of the Institution of Naval Architects was held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week, the President, the Earl of Ravensworth, occupying the chair during the whole of the sittings excepting that of Thursday evening, when Admiral Sir John Hay presided. The programme was not quite so long as usual, the Council of the Institution having come to the conclusion—wisely, we think—that it would be more desirable to have fewer papers and devote more time to their respective consideration. As it is now settled that the Institution is always to hold two meetings in the year, there is a chance of relief to what was always a congested programme when the business of the whole year was crowded into a single session. Where the summer meeting is to be held this year is not yet settled, but it is to be hoped that some place in the provinces will be selected, as it is right that the great ship-building centres of the Kingdom, of which London is not one, should be visited by the leading shipbuilding institution.
