144 The Thirty-Fifth General Meeting. 
As the paper will be found 7m eatenso in the present number, we need 
say no more of it. 
At its conclusion Tue Presiprnt said he was sure all present 
would join with him in offering a very hearty vote of thanks to 
Canon Jackson, for his most interesting paper. He was certain the 
sparkling anecdotes with which the paper was enlivened would long 
remain in their minds. 
The Rev. W. C. PLenperLEaTH was then called upon for his 
paper, entitled ‘ Cherhill Gleanings,” but that gentleman pleaded 
the lateness of the hour, and declined to detain the Meeting by 
reading his paper that evening. Our readers, however, will have 
the pleasure of seeing it in a future page of the Magazine. 
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8ru. 
A large party of Members of the Society and their friends 
assembled at the Town Hall punctually at 9 o’clock, a.m., and 
proceeded in the breaks provided for the purpose, and others in 
private carriages, on what was called the ‘“ Avebury Excursion.” 
They first drove to Blacklands Park, and completely filled the little

cellent account of the building. Then they drove through the park 
to Calstone Church, of which Mr. Hadow is also Rector, and here 
that gentleman again pointed out what was most deserving of notice 
in his interesting little village Church, whose position, nestled under 
the steep downs which rise above it, commended itself as especially 
pleasing, and the little churchyard, which surrounded it in this snug 
retired nook, as the perfection of all that was peaceful, quiet, and 
retired. Calstone village, if the very few houses which compose it 
deserve so grand a name, is one of the loveliest spots in North 
Wiltshire ; its deep dells and abrupt hills, its woods, and, above all, 
the copious springs which burst in volume from the fountain head, 
and, within a very few hundred yards of their source, are powerful 
enough to turn a mill, claimed the admiration of the visitors. Then 
the carriages re-traced their way back to Blackland Hollow, and 
ascended to the downs above by that steep but picturesque road.
