from their southern friends, it would produce better and more profitable 
results. 
Mr Dunn then gave ‘‘ Prosperity to the Gardening and Forestry Exhibi- 
tion.” He said the members of the Society gratefully appreciated the 
privilege they had received to view this attractive exhibition of industry 
and art, combined with the healthy relaxation and enjoyment of the 
people. He was sure their members would examine with interest the 
notable exhibits in the Forestry Court, with which they could claim a kind 
of family connection through their esteemed friend and member, Mr 
Cadell, to whose exertions they were aware much of the success attending 
the Forestry Section was due. The Gardening Section was of special interest 
to many of them, and the great extent and variety of the General Exhibition 
would find them in abundant work and amusement in seeing it all that 
afternoon. They cordially wished that the greatest success might attend 
the efforts of the Directors, to whom they felt much indebted for their 
kindly reception and the hospitable manner in which they had been 
entertained. 
The CHAIRMAN, in responding, said the Directors had endeavoured to 
interest the public in the subject of forestry. In this work they had received 
help from nearly all the learned societies, and from Her Majesty’s Commis- 
sioners of Woods and Forests, and others who had sent in many very 
interesting exhibits, which they would have an opportunity of inspecting in 
a few minutes. The Queen had sent from Balmoral some very beautiful 
and interesting specimens from the Royal forests. The Forestry Court had 
been arranged by their excellent friend Mr George Cadell, who was associated 
with the very successful Forestry Exhibition at Edinburgh in 1884, 
This being the last occasion on which all the members would be together, 
Colonel BAILEY proposed a vote of thanks to the Secretary of the Society, Mr 
W. J. Moffat, and expressed their sincere appreciation of all that he had done 
for the comfort of the party during the course of the Excursion. A similar 
compliment was paid to Mr Cadell on the proposition of Mr James Watt, J.P., 
Carlisle; and Mr Charles Buchanan, County Councillor, Midlothian, pro- 
posed ‘‘The health of the Chairman,” Mr Milner, which was cordially 
pledged. 
After lunch, a visit was paid to the Forestry Court of the 
Exhibition, where Mr Cadell and Professor Curtis, of Downton 
Agricultural College, pointed out and described the exhibits 
of special interest, and illustrative of the general features of 
the collection. As a whole, the Forestry Section was a very 
interesting display, and although on a comparatively limited scale, 
there were many excellent exhibits of the products of forests 
and of the science and art of forestry. The whole of the numerous 
attractions of the Exhibition—including Captain Boyton’s wonder- 
ful display on the water—was thrown open to the party, the 
members of which spent the afternoon within the precincts of 
the building.
