V.—Interim Report for 1910 of the Ontario Historical Society. 
Presented by Mr. C. W. JAMES, Secretary and Delegate. 
In the dislocation which followed the adjournment of meetings 
in consequence of the lamented death of our late Sovereign, Edward 
VII, the publishing of reports has somewhat been interfered with. 
At your adjourned meeting in September, 1910, we had the honour 
of presenting to you the Report of the Ontario Historical Society for 
1909, giving an account of the work itself and its affiliated societies. 
It was intended that the Report for 1910 would be presented to you 
at this meeting, but owing to unexpected delays in its printing and issue 
this unfortunately is not possible. The Secretary, therefore, desires 
to make an interim résumé and submission to you of that year of the 
Presidency of Mr. Barlow Cumberland. The full printed report will 
later be handed to your Secretary, and also to such members as may 
express a wish to receive it. 
The year had concluded with an improvement in membership 
and the carrying forward of a substantial amount for further 
work. The reports from the affiliated societies showed much activity. 
Among them may be particularly mentioned “The Niagara Historical 
Society,” under the energetic influence of Miss Janet Carnochan. Two 
pamphlets had been issued in the year, being Nos. 19 and 20 of their 
historical series. Accessions had been received in their excellent 
Museum building, particularly of reliques of Sir Isaac Brock. The 
Women’s Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa—Mrs. Thomas Ahearn, 
President, and Mesdames T. B. Simpson and Bradish Billings, Secre- 
taries—was actively at work with 15 meetings and a series of most 
interesting papers. The full details will appear in the printed report. 
The two Historical Societies of the County of Elgin and St. Thomas, 
under the guardianship of Dr. Jas. H. Coyne, kept up their admirable 
standard in meetings and papers, and in addition made our Historical 
Pilgrimage to the battlefields of Lundy’s Lane and Queenston Heights, 
when the movements of the forces were studied on the spot. The 
Essex Society, among other good works, erected a memorial tablet in 
the old barracks at Sandwich to record the events of the defence of 
the frontier in 1814.4
