The intervening Wednesday evenings during the winter 
months were devoted to practical work, and proved very 
useful. The Microscope Club, and the work in connection 
with the Exhibition, occupied many of these, though a few 
short papers were read and discussed. Amongst these were 
‘‘The Grass of Parnassus,’’ by Mr. G. H. Hill; ‘“ British 
Butterflies,” by Mr. J. W. Boult, and ‘‘ Moths,” by Mr. J. 
Porter. 
On March 7th a special meeting was held, when Mr. 
Hugh Blakiston, B.A., delivered an address on ‘‘ The National 
Trust for places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty,” 
with lantern illustrations. One result of this meeting was 
that a sub-committee was formed by the Club, whose duty it 
will be to watch the places in the East Riding in the interest 
of the Trust. The following gentlemen form the sub- 
committee:—T. Audas, L.D.S.; J. R. Boyle, F.S.A.; 
J. Hollingworth, M.R.C.S.; R. H. Philip; J. F. Robinson ; 
and T. Sheppard, F.G.S. 
Membership.—Twenty-five new members have been elected 
during the year. About the same number has been struck off 
the rolls for various reasons, so that the number remains 
practically the same as last year. 
Lady Members.—On January i1oth, 1900, the following 
resolution was passed :—‘‘ That lady members be admitted to 
this Society as ‘ Corresponding Members,’ and at the Corres- 
ponding Member rate, irrespective of the place of residence. 
All corresponding lady members be specially invited to the 
Club’s excursions.” 
The attendance at the in-door meetings has been good, 
averaging 33 during the winter months, and 26 in the summer. 
Excursions.—Between April and the present time rambles 
into the country have been taken every Saturday afternoon,
