Lord A. C. Seymour and Lieutenant W. IT. R- Darby, There were also present the Director-General of the Army Medical Department and Mrs. Crawford, Sir Charles Pearson, K.C.M.G., commandant of the Royal Victoria Hospital, and Lady Pearscn, the Hon. Mrs. Eliot \ orke, Surgeon-General Murray, M.D., principal medical officer of Netley, the Professor of the Army Medical School, the officers of the hospital and their ladies, with numerous visitors. Both the area from which the prizes were distributed and the bationers' benches were crowded, and the varied colours 01^prothe dresses of the ladies mingled with the military uniforms S^ve the assemblage a bright and animated aspect. We append elsewhere lists of the surgeons of the two services who were declared fit to receive commissions, as well as the names of the successful competitors, who received prizes on the occasion. The Prince, after he had handed the prizes, delivered an address, in which he took a general survey of the objects of School, and of the part it had taken in preparing the junior medical officers for discharging the special duties which devolved on them in their military career. He expressed his conviction that the officers and men of all ranks of the army had largely benefited by the instruction which had thus been disseminated. His Serene Highness addressed some special remarks to the surgeons who Were about to be commissioned on the importance of their Position and functions in the Army and in India, and concluded by some friendly words which were well calculated encourage them on commencing their career in the service. The Director-General, Dr. Crawford, also addressed a few observations to the novitiates of his department, who, he said, were doubly honoured on the present occasion ; first, by the kindness of His Serene Highness in coming all the way from Portsmouth to give them the prizes and address them as he had done, and, secondly, by the presence of so many ladies. He 'old them, as one result of his observations during forty years' service in the Army Medical Deprrment, that if, in their future Professional practice, they succeeded in gaining the good opinion of the ladies and of the solders' wives, and in securing their confidence as to their professional ability and the treatment of their families, they would have little to fear in any other quarter. The Director-General observed that it was very important for general officers, and for the combatant officers of the army at lr.rge, to take an interest in the work and professional reputation of the Medical Department of the Army; that such visits as H. S. H. the General commanding the southern district and other military officers had paid them on the present occasion, that other distinguished officers had previously paid on similar occasions in connexion with the Army Medical School, Were highly encouraging and beneficial to the Medical Service ; and he desired to express his own acknoweldgments, and those of all the officers of the department over which he presided. Before sitting down, Dr. Crawford said he had noticed that no special prize had been given in the Pathological department of the School, and he added that he should have much pleasure in follow ing the example of Sir Joseph Fayrer ?n a previous occasion by presenting one to Mr. Bradshaw, Av"? stood highest on the list in that branch of study. the close of the proceedings, the officers of the Army Medical Department at Netley entertained Prince Edward, t ie ladies, and other vistors at luncheon in the spacious messroom of the officers' quarters.?The Lancet.
