admission to lectures charged to non-members is so low as 1d., it is 
to be regretted that so very few of the inhabitants have attended ; 
still, there has been more money taken for admissions than there 
was last Session. The cost for Lectures has been a few shillings 
in excess for this Session. 
There were only two Excursions or Field Days last summer, 
the first to Thirlmere and Castle Rock, St. John’s, attended by 
twenty-two persons; the second to Grasmere and Langdale, 
including the Elterwater Slate Quarries, which was attended by 
thirty-seven members and friends. The Committee are glad to 
report that these Excursions bore their own costs, not a single 
penny being taken from the funds of the Society. The other two 
Excursions intended to have been made, viz. to Maryport and 
Threlkeld, did not come off, because at about the dates they were 
fixed for, the Bazaar and many other attractions were offered in 
Keswick. 
As you will doubtless be aware, the Committee became the 
purchasers of Flintoft’s Model of the Lake District, and subse- 
quently effected an arrangement with Messrs. Mayson by which 
the Museum and Model were let to them on a satisfactory lease, 
thus securing a very fair annual income for Museum purposes. 
The Model was bought for £160—-the purchase money being 
realized from the Bazaar, as mentioned hereafter. 
The Bazaar which was held for the joint benefit of the 
Museum and the School of Art realized 4460, which was equally 
divided between the two institutions, being #230 for each. This 
enabled the Committee to pay off the cost of the Model, and also 
some outstanding accounts, for fitting up the Museum. Within the 
last month, the Model, which had got into rather bad condition, 
has been repaired, restored, and re-coloured by Mr. Barnes. The 
Museum was opened free to the public for several days about 
Christmas and the beginning of the year, and is now permanently 
opened and under the care of Mr. Jenkinson. 
With reference to the Lecture on “Robert Southey” by 
Dean Stanley, your Committee decided to give the whole nett 
proceeds towards liquidating the debt upon the Library, caused
