SAILORS' HOME SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Sailors' Home Society was held this morning at the room of the Chamber of Commerce at 10 o'clock, Hon. C. R. Bishop in the chair. After reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting, the treasurer submitted his annual report which shows a balance in hand of $381.29. The term of six trustees expiring on the 31st of December, 1888, the following gentlemen were unanimously re-elected to serve for a further term of three years, ending Dec. 31, 1891: Hon. Chas. R. Bishop, Capt. W. Babcock, Mr. J. T. Waterhouse Jr., Hon. J. B. Atherton, Mr. P. C. Jones, Capt. A. Fuller. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Hon. S. G. Wilder, Mr. Thos. R. Walker was duly elected a Trustee to serve until December 31, 1889.

A lengthy discussion then took place in regard to the prospects of constructing a new building to serve as a Sailors Home under the existing agreement with the government which proved the continued interest taken in the object which the Society represents, although the discussion led to no immediate results. The committee appointed to devise ways and means for raising funds towards this object were granted further time to report.

The Society then adjourned and the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees was called to order by the President, Hon. Chas. R. Bishop.

The election of officers was proceeded with, resulting in the re-election of the following gentlemen by unanimous vote:

Hon. Chas. R. Bishop, President; Mr. F. A. Schaefer, Secretary; Mr. J. H. Paty, Treasurer. Executive Committee: Hon. S. M. Damon, Chairman; Hon. J. B. Atherton, Mr. C. M. Cooke.

The Treasurer was instructed to invest $350 of the funds in hand in the Hawaiian Postal Savings bank.

The meeting then adjourned.
