Summary: | A welcome, in tbe form of a conversazione, was given by the Council of tbe Royal Society of Tasmania at the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening, April 18, to Mr. Borchgrevink and those who accompanied him on the recent Antarctic Expedition. The attendance was large and fashionable, and amid such a gathering it would be impossible to give anything like an accurate list of names. Owing to the indisposition of his Excellency the Governor, the Chief Justice (Sir John Dodds) presided. Addresses of welcome were also presented by the following bodies:—The Marine Board of Hobart (by Captain T. M. Fisher); Australian Natives' Association (by Mr. A. J. Nettlefold). |
