former appearance to last we hope another hundred years. For this we 

 return our grateful thanks to the Dominion Government. We are 

 also indebted to the Ontario Government and the County Council for the 

 yearly grants which enable us to print as largelv as we do. 



"We receive requests for exchange from many Societies and many 

 letters asking for information. Indeed during the year 240 letters have 

 been written ])y the President in the interest of the Society and thus 

 many demands on her time are made. From exchange we are acc{uiring 

 a valuable historical library. 



A tablet has been placed by the Society on Navy Hall with an ac- 

 curate statement of facts connected with it. 



Many visitors from many lands have recorded their names in our 

 \'isitors' book. Several tablets to earl}' settlers have been added. 

 Different groups of students and military have visited us. 

 Man}' valuable contributions have been added to our collection, 

 among them a remarkable medal found in a garden, made for the Min- 

 den Masonic Lodge of the 20th Regiment at Kingston in 1847, a model 

 of a man of war made in Niagara in 1830, rigged by an officer of the Royal 

 Navy, the chair of Hon. J. Munro, a member of the Executive Council of 

 1792, Quebec Gazette of 1791, original letters of Bishop Macdonell and 

 Sir Allen MacNab, Hudson Bay Scrip, medal of the Nile expedition, 

 necklace of Laura Secord, several interesting articles brought by an old 

 Fligh School pupil, a member of the Lucky Scott Expedition from North 

 Baffin's Land. 



Our finances notwithstanding a generous exjjenditure are in a flour- 

 ishing condition, the sale of pamphlets, several donations as well as the 

 contents of our contribution box all help. We rejoice to know that 

 many heretofore indifferent are awaking to the value and the need of 

 historic research. We thank all who have assisted us in any way and 

 hope for still greater assistance.
