ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETINGS. Ivii. 



The PRESIDENT expressed apprehension that a local museum 

 established at Weymouth might prove a serious rival to the 

 County Museum at Dorchester, and divert objects of value 

 and interest which ought to go to the senior institution. He 

 trusted that Mr. Vere Oliver would use his influence in that 

 direction. 



The PRESIDENT read an interesting letter, which he had 

 received from Mr. E. R. Billington of Wyke End, who had 

 been travelling in Palestine, descriptive of his journey. 



VICE-PRESIDENTS. The President re-appointed the existing 

 Vice- Presidents. They were fourteen in number and he did 

 not propose to add to them. 



Sir Daniel Morris and Mr. Alfred Pope were re-elected 

 delegates to the British Association, and Canon Mansel- 

 Pleydell and His Honour J. S. Udall were re-appointed 

 delegates of the Club to the Congress of Archaeological 

 Societies. 



SUMMER MEETINGS. It was resolved to hold three one-day 

 summer meetings during the year, if railway communications 

 and labour troubles permitted. Twelve places had been 

 suggested, of which Sherborne, Corfe Castle, and Shaftesbury 

 were selected by the votes of those present. The dates and 

 other arrangements were left in the hands of the Hon. 

 Secretarv.
