CHESIL BEACH AND FLEET MEETING. Ixxiii. 



room at the top of the first flight, besides books and deeds, are some Peruvian pots 

 of very varied forms, often imitating natural objects, said to be pre-Spanish, a 

 very finely-worked sampler of 1727, a piece of Bokhara work of the 15th or 16th 

 century, with very remarkable figures and animals, the silk work of which was 

 once embellished with gold thread, which has perished, but which is in colour 

 and condition still beautiful. A collection of antique common pins and other 

 articles, of which particulars are given on labels, are in the same room. In two 

 small cabinets in the hall and the large one in the dining-room are some spiral - 

 threaded stemmed and other 18th century glasses, which vary greatly in shape 

 and pattern. In the garden there is, close to the greenhouse, a pomegranate in 

 flower and fruit. I will not trespass further upon your limited time, but I hope 

 that you will look at anything that interests you in the rooms I have indicated, 

 and if Mrs. Richardson and I, or my niece, Miss Rogers, can give any further 

 information about any of the exhibits, we shall be very pleased to do so to the 

 best of our power. 



Lord EUSTACE CECIL, before the party left, expressed the 

 warm thanks of the Club to Mr. and Mrs. Richardson for their 

 kind hospitality, and paid a tribute to the President's tact and 

 organising ability. He also included in the vote of thanks the 

 Honorary Secretary and the Assistant Secretary, complimenting 

 them upon the successful manner in which the outdoor meetings 

 were organised and carried out. 



Mr. RICHARDSON and the HONORARY SECRETARY responded, 

 and shortly after the visitors left for Weymouth.
