carried out. Members will easily understand that special 

 arrangements for railway travelling, for driving, and for meals 

 must be made for definite numbers, nor can they be made at 

 a very few hours' notice. 



Your Council has had brought before it an interesting scheme 

 of restoration for one of our old Derbyshire Crosses ; a member 

 of the Council is deeply interested in the restoration, and has 

 taken every possible pains to assure himself as to what treatment 

 will give the most satisfactory result. Your Council gave a 

 unanimous opinion upon the matter as laid before it, and hopes 

 soon to be able to announce the satisfactory outcome of work 

 carefully carried through by loving hand, in the spirit of truthful 

 preservation. Members will further be interested to know that 

 the Cross at Longford has been carefully restored under the 

 direction of a member of our Council, and also that a protection 

 has been arranged for the old and well known Cross at 

 Bakewell, in danger of suffering at the hands of vandal youth. 



No special act of destruction has been reported, but it has 

 been suggested that each Derbyshire Incumbent, or Church- 

 wardens, should assist our Society in drawing up an inventory of 

 all ancient objects of interest as now existing in the County. 

 Your Council will be glad to receive any further suggestions from 

 members of the Society. 



Death this last year has deprived us of one Vice-President, 

 Mr. Curzon, and one member of Council, Mr. John Bailey. 

 Both were original members of our Society, and Mr. Bailey was 

 an elecied member of our first Council. As long as their health 

 permitted Mr. Curzon and Mr. Bailey were constantly at our 

 meetings, and very few anniversaries have seen either of them
