xlviii. EXETER AND TORQUAY MEETING. 



From the Cathedral the party were conducted to the Bishop's 

 Palace, built 800 years ago of the red sandstone so often seen 

 throughout Central and South Devon. 



Shortly after seven o'clock the Club re-assembled at dinner at 

 the New London Hotel. Mr. Richardson presided, and Captain 

 Elwes took the vice-chair. As guests the Club entertained 

 Sub-Dean Bramley, Dr. J. Raglan Thomas, and Mr. C. J. Tait. 

 The Town Clerk (Mr. G. R. Shorto) had been unable to accept 

 the invitation. After dinner the usual toasts were proposed and 

 Club business transacted, in the course of which the Rev. H. 

 Pentin, of Milton Abbas, who was proposed on June lyth, was 

 elected a member. 



After dinner the members, under Mr. Tait's guidance, walked 

 to the Albert Memorial Museum in Queen Street. Here they 

 were courteously received by Mr. A. W. Clay den, M.A., Principal 

 of the Technical College, adjoining the Museum, who showed 

 them the chief matters of interest in the collections. Amongst 

 the more markworthy exhibits are the sledge on which Parry 

 made his journey furthest north, and an ingenious model 

 invented by Mr. Clayden showing the effect of the prevailing 

 winds on the various oceans in forming the gulf stream and 

 other currents. The Museum contains good collections of 

 general ethnology and mineralogy, besides local and other 

 collections of zoology, botany, and palaeontology, as well as a 

 good library, of which the reference portion consists of 14,000 

 volumes. The ethnological collection contains arms, weapons, 

 costumes, and utensils, from Europe, India, China, Australia, 

 and the adjacent islands, and many other parts of the world. 

 The collection of local lace is interesting. 



WEDNESDAY. KENT'S CAVERN. 



The members of the Club left Exeter by the 8.40 train for 

 Torquay, where a char-a-banc was in waiting to convey them to
