The members of the Club had certainly not shown much fear in this direction, 

 for the baskets of Funguses they brought with them proved that many a suc- 

 cessful foray had previously been made. In addition to these a large hamper 

 had been kindly sent from Whitfield. Holm Lacy and Haywood Forest supplied 

 the vegetable be<.f- steaks, and Mr. Worthington G. Smith most thoughtfully 

 brought down a selection of the fungu-es with which he had won the prize 

 the day bt fore at the Royal Horticultural Show at South Kensington. 



The grtat success of the exhibition of Funguses was thus assured, and 

 while several gentlemen most diligently occupied themselves in writing their 

 names and arranging them on the tables provided, the rest, with Elrnei Y. 

 Steele, Esq., in the chair, proceeded to transact the ordinary routine businesi 

 of the meeting.

Same other small matters of business were then got over, and at half- 

 past 10 o'clock the carriages were taken for the day's excursion. 



The members of the Caradoc Field Club had been invited to join in 

 the day's proceedings and were represented in the field by the Rev. E. Donald 

 Carr, the Honorary Secretary, the Rev. J. D. La Touche, and several other 

 gentlemen. In their honour the special district from which the Club takes 

 its name was to be visited, and the road was first taken for Hagley Park, about 

 four miles east of the city. Here they were kindly welcomed by Arthur 

 Hutchinson, Esq., and proceeded at once to examine the quarry which has so 

 special an interest for the members of the Woolhope Club.
