de M. Eudolf of London, England, compiled from reports of the S. P. G. ; 

 " Eobert Gourlay," by Miss Carnochan; "Reminiscences of the Fenian 

 Eaid," by Mr. Charles Hunter, of Toronto. 



Many articles have been added to the collections; nearly a thousand 

 visitors have inscribed their names in the Register, and 800 pamphlets 

 have been distributed. The one thing in which any falling off is to be 

 noted as compared with last year is in the sale of pamphlets, which last 

 year was exceptionally large. Much progress has been made in preparing 

 a catalogue but this, as expected, is proving a heavy task. 



This year is being carried out a plan proposed in the first circular 

 sent out, viz. : to place tablets in memoi'v of the first settlers, whether 

 United Empire Loyalists or otherwise, and of the regiments which 

 fought or were on duty at Niagara. These are of kiln dried oak, po- 

 lished, with lettering of scarlet and black. Already eighteen of these 

 have been placed and will serve to keep in mind the early pioneers and 

 those who fought in defence of our soil. Another pamphlet is in the 

 hands of the printers and, we hope, will soon be ready for distribution. 

 Many requests are made for numbers 7 and 10, the editions of which are 

 exhausted; steps are being taken to reprint at an early date No. 10 with 

 additions, and it is lioped that ultimately No. 7 will also be reprinted. 

 Nearly a score of members have been added during the year, but we have 

 to deplore the death of four members : Mr. F. Toogood, of Toronto, in 

 the heyday of youth ; Mrs. Wright, of London, in a ripe old age ; Dr. 

 Bain, the Chief Librarian of Toronto, who was a kind friend to us, in 

 the full maturity of his powers ; Mr. H. L. Dunn, in the full tide of his 

 usefulness; and at this present moment of writing an Honorary Vice- 

 President, Mrs. Hannah Ball Clement, at the age of ninety-two repre- 

 senting one of the earliest families to settle here. 



We were honoured with the request to send a picture of our building 

 to accompany a sketch of our work during the twelve years of our ex- 

 istence, to appear in the Provincial Library Report, and this has helped 

 to make the Society known. 



The usual visit was made on 17th September to carry flowers to the 

 six graveyards in or near the town. The annual ,grants from the Pro- 

 vincial Government and ilie County Council for printing purposes were 

 received, and we record with gratitude that an additional Provincial 

 grant was given for maintenance, as the possession of a building entails 

 additional expense for insurance, care of grounds, etc. The treasurer's 

 report shows the receipts of the Society to have been $392 and a balance 

 on hand of $70, while tiio convener of the building fund shows that the 

 sum of $4,952 has been expended on the building and furnishing, with 

 the small sum of $75 owing. Having been asked bv tlie Landmark So-
