illustrated by Lantern Slides, &c. ; 
_. The Annual Conversazione proved to be a most 
_ successful function, the exhibits by Members being 
exceptionally good. A great measure of this success was 
also due to the attendance of the Earl and Countess 
Beauchamp, who came specially from Madresfield Court to 
_take part in the proceedings. 
_ Your Committee wish to acknowledge the help ren- 
dered by Members of the Paxton Society, not only in 
‘connection with the Conversazione, but more especially 
‘in connection with the Exhibition of Spring Flowers, 
which was this year of a most meritorious character, and 
€xtended over two days.
