Third Day’s Proceedings. 31] 
of evergreens erected over the road, admirably constructed, and 
while the Society’s motto “ multoruwm manibus grande levatur onus” 
was blazoned, and the word “ Welcome” was conspicuous on one 
side; on the opposite side, to be seen by the retiring guest on his 
depaiture, was the still more hospitable motto “ Come again,” which 
was certainly a most pleasing, if not almost too liberal a sentiment. 
By the time the company had assembled in the drawing room at 
Rood Ashton, it numbered fully 150 guests, but as provision had 
been made for two hundred, there was ample room in the large 
- dining room for the entire party; and here they were most 
sumptuously entertained in a style befitting the traditions of Rood

President and Secretaries ; the whole party returned to Trowbridge, 
and very soon assembled again in the Court Hall, when Canon 
Jackson read a most able and exhaustive paper on Rood Ashton, 
which will be found i extenso at a later page of this Magazine.

of animals found in the barrows,” which had been anticipated with 
great interest; but that gentleman, taking into consideration the 
lateness of the hour, and the fatigue of the party after a long day’s 
excursion, begged that the paper might be taken “as read,” and did

gave ashort but very lucid address on ;Querns and other hand-mills 
of early ages, and the President declared the Conversazione over, 
and the company seperated. 
THIRD DAY’S PROCEEDINGS, FRIDAY, AUG. 97x. 
The Archzologists again started in numerous carriages from the 
George Hotel, under the guidance of the Honorary Secretaries, and
