THE AN]SrUAL MEETING. 



From the Secretary's Record Boole, 



The Second Annual Meeting of the Society was held 

 at 431 Beacon Street, on Saturday evening, January 14, 

 1882. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read 

 and approved, several by-laws were passed and the con- 

 stitution was revised, various articles being added and 

 others omitted. 



The Society then listened to the reports of the Secre- 

 tary and Treasurer. The report of the former showed 

 that eleven meetings had been held and one new member 

 elected since the last Annual Meeting. " During the past 

 year the Society has been advancing with rapid strides. 

 When we compare the first meeting, held but a little over 

 a year ago, with the last one, we can readily perceive the 

 difference; and when we look at what the Society has 

 attained, and compare what it was with what it is, we feel 

 that our progress has been indeed encouraging." 



The report of the Treasurer showed that the finances 

 of the Society were increasing, although in this depart- 

 ment there is room for improvement. 



The next business of the evening was the election of 

 officers for the ensuing year. The Secretary was author- 

 ized to collect and count the ballots, and announced the 

 election of the following ofiicers : 



Peesident: Henry Savage. 

 Secretary: Roland Hay ward. 

 Treasueek: Arthur C. Anthony. 



As there was no other business to come before the 

 Society, the meeting adjourned until January 21, 1882.
