CXX THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
list of the chief benefactors either as regards money contributions or 
articles of historic interest. 
Many additions have been made during the year, among them may 
be mentioned a grandfather’s clock, furnishing of the high post bed- 
stead, nearly all from the articles belonging to early settlers, walnut 
table from Black Creek, used at one time by General Drummond in 
1814, crimson drape used as decoration at Coronation of Edward VII, 
in London, England “by our Mohawk Indians of Brantford, Kora nok- 
ye Kora, King and Queen,” oleograph of Red Jacket addressing Indians 
at Buffalo Creek, silver sugar tongs which belonged to Laura Secord, 
Fenian Raid medal, piano which belonged to Governor Simcoe, steel 
engraving of Prince Albert, autograph letter of Grover Cleveland. 
All this forms part of our work for the year, but no mention has been 
made of the answers given in reply to inquiries on points of interest 
historically, and to write these letters has taken no little time. We 
rejoice at the increasing interest in historical matters throughout the 
country; rejoice also at the success of other Societies, and we hope to 
see still greater things done in the future for our loved Canada.
