Place. 



This .sjjring, however, it was decided after c'onsultation between the Secretary, the President and 

 a number of pi'orainent members within easy reach, to hold the general meeting a fortnight earlier, 

 with the view of having the advantage of the presence of His Excellency the Governor-General, who 

 has taken every oppoitunity, when he has met our members, to express his earnest desire to do all in 

 his power to jiromote the objects of the Society. One of the first things that the Society will he 

 called upon to do to-morrow will be the presentation of the following address, asking His Excellency 

 to become our Honorai'}' President in succession to his predecessors, the Marquis of Lome and the 

 Marquis of Lansdowne. 



Address to the Governor-General. 



" To His Excellency the Eight Honourable Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, Baron Stanley of Pres- 

 ton, in the County of Lancaster, in the Peerage of Great Britain; Knight Grand Cro.ss of the Most 

 Honourable Order of the Bath, Governor-General of Canada and Vice- Admiral of the same. 



'• May it please Your Excellency: — 



""We, the Fellows of the Eoyal Society of Canada, take this opportunity, the first we have had 

 since Your Excellency became the Governor-General of this portion of the EmjDire, to express the 

 hope that you will be pleased to accept the position which your predecessors have heretofore filled, 

 and to become our Honorary President.
