136 The Twenty-first General Meeting. 
Park,” by C. H. Talbot, Esq. These too, it is hoped, will all appear 
in turn in the Magazine; and need not therefore be farther alluded 
to here. 
At the conclusion of the meeting, as this was the last occasion of 
assembling in Devizes, during the present congress, cordial votes of 
thanks were moved to the President, to the several readers of papers, 
and to all who had been instrumental in catering for the Society, 
not forgetting under this head, the Mayor and Corporation. 
THIRD DAY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10ru. 
Again the skies proved unpropitious, and reduced the archeologists 
to a limited number, though, but for the inclement weather, very 
many had announced their intention of joining in the excursion to- 
day. Some fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen, however, braved 
the elements, and accomplished the round. The route lay first by 
Bishops Cannings, where the elegant Early English church demanded 
a prolonged halt; thence over the downs, by Wans Dyke and the 
Roman Road, through Heddington and by Wans House, to Spye 
Park, where Mr. Spicer right hospitably entertained the Society at 
dinner, and indeed had made preparations to entertain double the 
number: and in truth double in number would the guests have been, 
but for the wet weather. Kind and cordial were the words with 
which Mr. and Mrs. Spicer welcomed the Society to Spye Park, 
and loud and hearty was the applause elicited by the proposal of a 
vote of thanks to them, moved by Mr. Wyndham. Spye gate was, 
of course, examined, and then by Chittoe Church and Bromham 
Church back to Devizes. 
The following is an abstract from the list of articles kindly con- 
tributed to the Loan Museum. Many of them are of particular 
local interest, and attracted much notice during the meeting. 

Those marked with an asterisk have been presented to the Society.
