In the two previous Sessions the evening for the Meetings 
was Friday ; but this has been altered to Tuesday during the past 
Session, and the change was a very beneficial one. 
The attendance at all the Meetings was greatly above the 
average; and the plan of having two classes of Lectures—Public 
and Ordinary—works well. To the former the admission was free 
to all, whilst to the latter, friends of members were admitted on 
payment of sixpence. This plan has given such great satisfaction, 
that it is to be continued during the coming Session. 
The Programme—a much longer one than last Session—was 
faithfully carried out ; and the great interest taken in the majority 
of the Papers was shown by the intelligent discussions which 
followed them—such discussions being much above the average. 
The exhibition of the Phonograph by Mr. Graham of London 
was very successful. 
The Zransactions have again been given free to the members.
