ANNTTAL SOIEEE. 



April 17th, 1874. 



The anuual Soiree was held in the Library and Museum of University Colleg-e, 

 which were, as heretofore, placed at the disposal of the Club by the permission 

 of the Council. The number of visitors exceeded 1,000, but the rooms were 

 less crowded than usual, owing to the increased space allotted for the purpose of 

 exhibition in the Museum. 



One hundred microscopes were exhibited by members of the Club, and nearly 

 fifty by members of the Croydon, the South London, the Sydenham aud Forest 

 Hill, and the Tower Hill Microscopical Clubs. 



The leading London opticians contributed greatly to the success of the 

 evening by a brilliant display of microscopes, spectroscopes, graphoscopes, 

 stereoscopes, &c., and also showed the latest improvements in objectives and 

 apparatus, filling the bays in the Library in a very effective manner.

 Microscopical Clubs is necessarily imperfect, as many of the exhibitors' cards 

 were not filled up : —
