That officer will institute the proper inquiries, and with sufficient evidence, conduct the prosecution without expense to the witness or complainant, and without his assist- ance, unless the latter is necessary to the con- viction of the offender. (The names o -ersons and letters supplying information c. kept STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL when secrecy is enjoined.) In all cases persons are requested to obtain the NAME and /ddbess of the offender, (and his NUMBER also, if the driver of a vehicle ply- ing for hire.) The following excellent directions given by the Royal Society, London, should also be pursued : " Make a note of the time when, and the place where, the offence was committed. If for driving a horse or other animal with galled neck or shoulders, or other wounds, note the size and situation of such wounds, and especially whether they are raw, discharging, or in contact with the harness ; if for flogging or beating, note the number of blows, and on what part of the body inflicted, and the effect, if any, on the skiri of the animal; if for lame- ness, ascertain particularly whether or not there is suffering, as lameness is not always an indication of pain ; if for weakness or infirmity, take care to have good evidence of the bodily condition, age, and incapacity of the animal, and the labor extracted from it ; if for overload- ing, it is indispensable to show painful distress of the animals, e.g., trembling, falling, unusual perspiration or exhaustion, or to show violence on the part of the driver ; if for mutilation or same in dS rf R- ^ character of the member thfeLt JLT''"?"'"'

Old, galled, crippled horses ill-fed, over- loaded, and generally abused by hard masters. Calves with feet tied and tortured, while being transported long distances in distressed position, over rough roads, by butchers and others. Pigeons wantonly wounded, mutilated and allowed to linger hours before death comes to their relief, at shooting tournaments. Horses left standing in exposed positions, through severe storms, without covering. Beautiful song and useful birds needlessly slaughtered by men and boys for sport. Insects, birds and animals, of various kinds, cruelly put to death by thoughtless persons, when a little more care would make death less painful. The cruelty and savage instinct aroused by pugilism, cock and dog fighting. Every city, village and country town should be liberally supplied with drinking fountains (or animals, and they should be so constructed that even the smallest dogs can drink from them.

In presenting their First Annual Report for the year ending 31st March, 1888, your Committee beg to review the work of the Society from the time of Its organization. After one or two preliminary meetings the Society was finally organized on ist ''April 1887, and adopted a constitution and appointed officers and an Executive Committee to carry on the work. After some little delay your Committee were at last enabled to commence active work through the kindness of the Police Commissioners m loaning the services of Police Constable Watson as temporary Inspector. Ihis officer proved himself most efficient, and your Committee endeavored to secure him as permanent Inspector, but, though they sympa- thized with the work, the Commissioners did not feel justified in granting the request, as it is difficult for the force with its present limited numbers to accomplish the ordinary work that IS expected of it. P. C. Watson was presented with a gold headed cane with an appropriate mscription as a mark of appreciation of his ?f''«f,'.- ^^^""^ extended over two nioiuhs. Mr. William Kerley, our present Inspector, was next appointed and has proved himself watch- ful, energetic and prudent. It has only been in the worst cases that prosecutions have taken place; in the large majority of instances a warning is first given the name and address of each individual being taken, and the Inspector keeping track of each case till cured.

A reserve fund of several hundred dollars should be created in case the society are at any time drawn into legal expense; further funds should also be available for developing the work. The erection of drinking fountains has been taken up by some societies and been the means of domg much good. While your Committee feel that they are not financially strong enough to undertake this branch of the work, they would suggest the propriety of passing a resolu- tion at the annual meeting strongly urging the City Council to erect several more fountains in suitable localities where man and beast alike can quench their thirst. The thanks of the Society are due to the sister societies in New York, Buffalo, Pennsyl- vania (women's branch), Ossining, Montreal and Ottawa for copies of reports and assistance in organizing. Mesbrs. Edward Martin, Q. C. and S. F Lazier have kindly consented to act as honorary counsel, and Dr. J. Craig, V. S., as honorary veterinary surgeon. A By-law was passed by your Committee making donors of te7i dollars ($io) and upwards life members. Your Committee cannot close this report without referring to the very recent death of Henry Bergh, of New York, who may with ' truth be called the father of Humane Societies on tr o continent, having for years devoted his life to the furtherance of their interests, and in his will requested his nephew to carry on the good work he had himself so happily and successfully inaugurated. All of which is respectfully submitted. Adam Brown, President. Henry McLaren. Sec, • Treasurer, 86 mmmpmY of ?asgs.
