XL — From The New Brunswick Historical Society, through 

 Me. Clarence Ward. 



At a meetiLg of the New Brunswick Historical Society, held on 

 the 25th November. 1902, the Eev. W^illiam 0. Eaymond stated that the 

 300th anniversary of the discovery of the St. John river by Samuel 

 de Champlain would occur in 1904, and suggested that a committee be 

 appointed to make arrangements with regard to a celebration of the 

 event. 



The matter was earnestly entertained by the Society, and other 

 public bodies became interested. 



The satisfajctory result of their efforts to appropriately honour the 

 occasion is shown in the meeting of the Royal Society of Canada in St. 

 John, and by the various other ceremonies in commemoration of this 

 momentous epoch in the history of our country. 



Since the last report of the N.B. Historical Society, two valuable 

 and interesting contributions to the history of the province of New 

 Brunswick have been issued by them. 



The most important was the " Wlnslow Papers," consisting of the 

 letters and correspondence of the Hon. Edward Winslow, Judge of the 

 Supreme Court of the province of New Brunswick. 



Judge Winslow was Muster Master-General of the Provincial troops 

 taken into His Majesty's pay during the American Revolutionary War.
