the Wisconsin C'entral l»ailway Company, for courtesies extend- 

 ed in enabling the members of the society to visit Bayfield : 



To the proprietor and management of the Hotel Pfister for 

 facilities furnished for holding our meetings and lectures : 



To the several Milwaukee dailies for their kindly mention 

 and full reports of our proceedings : 



To Mr. J. W. Titcomb and Mr. C. H. To\rasend for their 

 very interesting and instructive lectures; and to Mr, A. H. 

 Dinsmore for the excellent slides sent by him to illustrate fish- 

 ing scenery, etc., on the lines of the Maine Central and B. & A. 

 E. R. in Maine: 



To Mr. Wm. J. Starr, for the delightfTil sail on the good 

 yacht Rosamond : 



That we extend our thanks to Mr. A. D. Mead, Mr. W. T. 

 Thompson, X. H. Cohen, Livingston Stone, B. W. James, A. H. 

 Dinsmore, C. C. Wood and C. G. Atkins, for the valuable and 

 interesting papers submitted by them, and express our regret 

 that the several writers could not 1)e present to take part in the 

 discussion. 



That the thanks of the society are extended to Mr. Bower, 

 secretary, for his able conduct of the duties of his office, and to 

 all the various out-going officers of the society. We would be 

 very glad, if we felt that the revenues would warrant it, to sug- 

 gest compensation to Mr. Bower for the trouble and pains he has 

 taken in the conduct of his office, but being somewhat frightened 

 at the state of the exchequer we have not included such a recom- 

 mendation in our resolutions. We would be very happy if it 

 could be otherwise. 



The committee report back the resolution relating to the 

 Baird memorial and recommend the adoption of the following 

 resolution, that the thanks of the society be extended to the com- 

 mittee having that matter in charge for their efforts in that be- 

 half, and that the members of the society are urged individually 

 to contribute the sum necessary to complete the work. 



We would suggest that any other persons to whom we ought 

 to extend a recognition of thanks, can have their names inserted 

 by the secretary. 



Report accepted and adopted, to be printed in the transac- 

 tions.
