An Excursion of the Society to the Eglwyseg Rocks and 
Llangollen, in August last, was numerously attended, and 
although the weather was somewhat unfavourable, the excursion 
was a pleasant one. 
The Third Conversazione of the Society was held on the 25th 
of March, and the Committee have to express their thanks for the 
assistance they received from numerous friends who exhibited— 
and in many instances attended to explain—objects and apparatus. 
The display of Physical Instruments was especially noteworthy, 
and may be considered highly creditable for a town of the size of 
Wrexham. Much of the success of the evening was owing to the 
fine display of Microscopes by the gentlemen of the Chester 
Society, who also contributed numerous objects of interest in 
other departments. The distinctive feature of the evening was, 
however, the display of modern modes of lighting; and the 
Committee have much pleasure in acknowledging the valuable 
contributions to this department made by the Wrexham Gas Light 
Company, who went to considerable expense in exhibiting the 
most recent improvements in gas illuminations. The display of 
the Electric Light and of the Oxy-Hydrogen Lime Light by 
Mr. Davin Jonnson was very brilliant, and the means thus 
afforded of comparison between the different modes of lighting 
excited great interest.
