MEETING AT LUDLOW AND DOWNTON CASTLE, 



Tuesday, Jclt 20th, 1869. 



"I'll teach thee miracles ! Walk on this heath 

 And say to the neglected flower, ' Look up 

 And be thou beautiful .' ' If tlion hast faith 

 It will obey thy words." Barrington. 



The "Ladies' day" of a Naturalists Field Club is generally attractive 

 — sjiecial ground is chosen, and special pains are taken to make the arrange- 

 .ments complete. That doubtful element, the weather, is always an uncer- 

 tainty to the last, but on the present occasion it was as little so as it could be. At 

 the railway station if was at once seen that the meeting woiild be a full one, and 

 some little delay was occasioned by the necessity for extra carriages. It was 

 not however until they had alighted on the platform at Ludlow that it was 

 really evident how many ladies had honoured the club with their company.
