XVII. — The Women's Canadian Historical Society of Toronto. 

 Presented by C. L. Corley, Secretary. 



The membership of this Society remains about the same, two hun- 

 dred members being on our roll. The finances are in a fairly satisfactory 

 condition, the amount on hand for Queen Victoria Memorial Hall Fund 

 having reached the sum of $4,698.40. This year we tried to follow the 

 plan of having, if possible, two papers at each meeting, one compiled 

 from history and one from original matter, relating to the history of 

 Canada. The first one by Dean Pakenham on early schools of Canada 

 was most interesting; one of the great difficulties in those days was to 

 obtain loyal teachers; at the second meeting of the year Miss J. Mac- 

 Callum dealt with the early history of the people of British Columbia, 

 being followed by a paper relating to the Baldwin family; this forms 

 part of our latest transaction; next Miss Merrill prepared a paper on the 

 early discoverers of British Columbia, followed by most interesting 

 gleanings of family history by Miss C. N. Merritt. Our next was an 

 account of an early expedition to Hudson Bay by Mrs. J. B. Tyrrell; 

 the exhibits were a 3-lb. cannon ball picked up on the shore of Hudson 

 Bay and the handle of a cutlass. Mrs. Campljell Meyers also read from 

 the diary of a Botanist, Mr. John Goldie, who walked from Kingston 

 to York in 1817 in search of rare plants. Our last paper Avas one of 

 unusual interest, exemplified by many early maps showing the early 

 roads of York, by Miss Lizars. All these were interesting and instruc- 

 tive, many additional comments being made by those present.
