In selecting executive officers for the year 1900, it is desirable to 
bear in mind that all members should show such interest in the Society 
as will ensure an active management of our affairs. 
The object and aims of the organization should be carefully con- 
sidered, so that those selected for office during the coming year will work 
with the zeal and energy demanded by so good a cause.

IV.—From The Wentworth Historical Society, through Dr. STEWART. 
The Pioneer Wentworth Historical Society reports no diminution 
of the patriotic zeal animating its members, five of whom have been 
elected during the year. 
Last fall arrangements were made as usual for a course of four 
lectures. 
The inaugural meeting was held, by kind invitation of our respected 
President, at his residence, on Monday, November 20th, 1899. A large 
number of members were present. Ten dollars were voted to the Laura 
Secord monument, and the Treasurer of the museum fund, Mrs. Edward 
Martin, reported a good balance on hand. 
On the invitation of the Hamilton Association, a conference was 
held, when the advisability of uniting to apply for rooms at Dundurn 
was unanimously agreed upon, and the Pioneer Wentworth Historic 
Society had the library room allotted to it. With such an historic 
habitat, the bare thought of worthily fitting it up must give an added 
impetus to the work of this Society, which during the year has been 
busily engaged in collecting documents and other papers of historic 
value. It has also been promised several articles of interest for the 
proposed museum at Dundurn.
