consists
of two resident house surgeons and a visiting body of seven local
practitioners. The matron and forty-two nurses constitute the nursing
staff. A recent addition has been made to the original hospital, in
which will be the maternity ward, for the sake of providing the needed
accommodation and the training of experienced midwives. The cost of
this hospital with its
enlargements has been upwards of £30,000.
The
Kimberley Club has a commodious and finely furnished house on
Dutoitspan Road. This building was erected in 1896 on the ashes of two
predecessors which had been unfortunately destroyed by fire. It
possesses a unique collection of trophies of the chase, and its list of
visitors bears the name of many of the most notable men in the British
Empire.
Besides
these structures a government building of massive stone and brick on
the north side of the Market Square deserves mention as one of the
conspicuous edifices in the city. Here the High Court of Griqualand is
held. The magistrates' courts are arranged on either side of the
entrance, and rooms are provided for the Civil Commissioner, Judges,
and Magistrates.
