The Annual Field Day of the Society was to Calumet, but the wet- 

 ness of the day hindered its success. Those who ventured on the 

 excursion were, however, heartily welcomed and hospitably entertained 

 by the authorities of the district. 



The Society lost by death five members during the year, amongst 

 them Samuel Finley, Esq., and Hon. Justice Wurtele, two of its Vice- 

 Presidents, and Major L.A.H. Latour, one of its oldest members and 

 office-bearers. But the gains in the number added more than com- 

 pensated for the losses.
