    The Committee wish to thank the Clergy and others for the Church Collections and gifts of Fruit, Flowers, and Vegetables, &c., from the Harvest Festivals ; the Proprietors of Hotels, Clubs and Employees at Factories, and those who have had collecting boxes; to the Editor of the Wiltshire Gazette for publishing the Weekly Returns, free of charge ; to Mrs. Garnett for kindly supplying the Daily Mail ; to the Editor of the Daily Telegraph for supplying that newspaper free of charge; and to Members of the Wiltshire Constabulary Amateur Athletic Club for its handsome donation of £21 ; and to the gentlemen who arranged the Chippenham League Football Matches for the Hospital Cup, which benefited the Funds to the extent of £27. The Committee again express their grateful thanks to the Honorary Consulting Staff, the Honorary Medical and Dental Staffs, who have given so much of their time and skill most willingly to the work of the Hospital. Also to Mr. A. I. Post for his services as Honorary Auditor. An important change in the Staff had to be made in consequence of the resignation of Miss Godwin as Matron, her successor Miss Jones came with excellent credentials, and during the nine months she has held the position she has done so with conspicuous success. Several minor changes in management have been put into practice, which have added to the comfort and welfare of the patients. During the past year a further Appeal for funds for the extension of the Hospital has been made, and a sum of £255 has been promised or given under that Appeal, bringing the total promised or given towards the Extension Fund to date to £1138 16s. 7d. Details will be published later. In memory of the late Capt. J. E. Spicer, a generous contributor to our funds, the Lady Margaret Spicer has given a Sun-Ray apparatus to the Hospital, and the Committee wish to record their grateful thanks for her kindly thought. This apparatus will be of great benefit to the patients.
