The New Zealand.

These medical officers ivill leave for New Zealand on August 17 on the Tonic. At the I'aranald Hospital and Charitable Aid lioard meeting yesterday morning. the chairman. Mr. F.C. J. Beilringer, referred to ithe death of Mr. G. Tisch, the Mayor of- -New Plymouth, and for some years a member and afterwards chairman of this Board. The late Mr. Tisch was a gentleman, he said, who had been associated with hospital and charitable aid board work and benevolent worfc generally for a number of years, and who had taken a more than ordinary interest in ' nueli matters. Even after having .severed his official connection wth the Board he had always been ready to give the Board's members and officers the benefit of his experience. The Board mem|bers would agree with him in deeply regretting that death had claimed Mr. Tisch, and that a man had been removed from our midst whom we could so ill afford to lose. All would join in sympathy with Mrs. Tisch in the irreparable loss which they had sustained. Mr. Beilringer said that he and other members had represented the Board at the funeral, and had also forwarded a wreath. He moved that a letter of condolence and 1 sympathy be forwarded to Mrs. Tisch, expressing the sympathy of the Board and regretting the death of n man whom they all so highly honored and respected. Mr. G. W. Browne, in seconding the motion, said he ha.<l been intimately connected with the late Mr. Tisch in public matters, and for the past eight or nine years they had been in almost daily contact with one another. They had lost n man whom the community could hardly replace, a man who had devoted his whole time to working with the people for the people, a man of a stamp that New Zealand could ill nfl'ord to lose, and whose kindly nature had endeared him to all who had known him. The resolution was carried, the members standing.
