THE PROGRAMME FOR THE WINTER OF 1888-89. 



Acting upon the recommendation of the Soiree Committee, the 

 Council has decided that during the coming winter, instead of having 

 one long paper read at each soiree, as has been the custom in the past, 

 a number of short papers and interesting notes should be substituted. 



This change is suggested for the purpose of making the discussions 

 more general and of a conversational nature. 



Each evening will be devoted, as much as possible, to the considera- 

 tion of one branch of science only, and will be under the joint manage- 

 ment of the leaders and the Soiree Committee. This has been thought 

 advisable as the leaders are most familiar with the work tliat has been 

 done in their several branches during the season. The leaders' reports 

 will also be read upon the evening bearing the name of their branch. 



An ample supply of papers upon each subject has been promised. 



The admission fee will be the same as in past years, viz., free to all 

 members of the Club and of the Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society, 

 and 10c. each to non-members. 



The Monday afternoon coui'se of Popular Elementary Lectures will 

 bey^'ee to all comers as heretofore and it is hoped that they will be 

 well attended.
