The chairman then proposed a rhyming " toast," wishing 

 " Long life to the Club," and, at his request, the members rose in 

 a body and " made the welkin ring " in their concurrence with 

 the sentiment he had so deftly expressed. 



To wind up a very pleasant evening, Dr. S pitta exhibited 

 upon the screen a series of lantern views of natural objects, 

 beautifully nature-coloured. Many of various flowers were 

 wonderful productions, with the colours unbelievably soft and 

 lifelike, and some of the insects were not less successful. The 

 meeting then broke up, many staying, however, to examine more 

 leisurely Mr. Watson Baker's unique specimens. 



Unfortunately too late to be read at the meeting, a Marconi- 

 gram arrived from the late hon. secretary, Mr. W. B. Stokes, at 

 Montreal : " Congratulations five hundredth meeting." (Signed) 

 Stokes.
