Meetings were held from October to May onthe second Friday of 
the month at four o’clock. 
Our membership is now 187. Seven regular and one annual meeting 
have been held during the year. The February meeting was throughout 
a memorial of her late Majesty, Queen Victoria. It was a most im- 
pressive and solemn meeting, crowded to doors, with addresses by 
the president and Mrs. W. Wilfrid Campbell, the reading of an unpub- 
lished poem of our Canadian poet, Mr. W. Wilfrid Campbell, and 
appropriate music. The annual meeting was held on the evening of 
March the 29th. After the routine of business the Hon. Mr. Dobell 
took the chair. The speakers for the evening were the Hon. Senator 
Bernier and the Hon. Geo. E. Foster. They and the chairman honoured 
the Society with addresses of such an historical character as made them 
valuable additions to its archives. Her Excellency the Countess of 
Minto was present, and it was the largest and most successful meeting 
ever held by the Society.

The year has been marked by several important undertakings. 
The chief of these has probably been the publication of the papers of 
the two previous years. This has been a somewhat nervous and anxious 
task, but the volume which resulted is no unsatisfactory evidence of 
the work the Society has been doing since its organization.
