PRESENTATION AT BURTON. 37 YEARS IN THE TRINITY SERVICE On Friday, the 15th instant, a very interest- ing event took plaoe at the residence of Mr. C. Ivemey, at Her:don House, Burton, where that gentleman became the recipient of a most handsome baroineteT, on the occasion of his retirement from the Trinity service. Mr. C. Thomas, on behalf of subscribers re- presenting the depot, lighthouses, and light- vessels, relieved at Neyland and Cardiff, pre- sented the testimonial, and said it afford- ed him the- greatest pleasure to present to Mr. Ivemey the barometer on his retirement after 37 year-; service-for the last 25 years as difc- trict clerk, and storekeeper. It would be re- membered that Mr. Ivemey was always ready to give a kind word and helping hand to all he came in contact with, and he was sure that he would carry their best wishes wit,h him into his private life. They hoped that he and Mrs. Ivemey would be long spared to en- joy their well earned pension. Mr. Ivemey, who was deeply touched by this act of kindness, in responding, said: Mr. Thomas, and shipmates, no doubt you all claim me as such passing through the different branches of the service. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this considerable act of kindness in presenting me with this hand- some testimonial. More especially, as I know that testimonials are of such rare occurrence in our service. During my 37 years in this Milford district, only once has a testimonial been presented, and, that was to our late sup- erintendent, Mr. Lile, on his retirement. In the naval, military dockyard and post office services, retiring employes often receive some tangible recognition in the shape of long ser- vice medals, or some otheo form; but, strange to say, in cur service, even after a period of 40 years or moie, with good conduct, a man retires from the honourable corporation's ser- vice without a scrap of paper to show that he has ever been in their employ. To you who represent this Neyland depot, lighthouses and light-vessels, as well as to many old friends at Burnham, Nash, Caldy, St. Annee, Spurns, Dungeness, Penlie, and ss. 1 m" debted for this splendid gift. Words fail me entirely to give full expression to my feelings, but I can assure yo. all that I shall ever cherish a regard for this barometer so long as I live, and hand it down as a heirloom in my family. (Applause).
