The annual Field Day was held at Philipsburg, on the shores of 
Missisquoi Bay. Its success was in great part due to Mr, Henry Timmis 
who kindly gave the Society the freedom of the quarries and works 
of the Missisquoi Marble Co. The judges of the botanical and geological 
specimens were Miss Van Horne and Dr. Milton Hersey. 
The press of Montreal has continued generously to give notices 
and reports of meetings.
