FIELD MEETING AT HAMILTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1875. 



THE first field meeting of the season was held at the 

 Chebacco House, in Hamilton, this day. There is much 

 that is enjoyable about the woods and ponds in the vicin- 

 ity of the hotel, and the place is thereby very popular as 

 an objective point for parties during the summer months. 

 It is also a favorite resort for the zoologists and the bota- 

 nists, as the finding of many of our animals and plants, 

 some of exceeding interest, are frequent rewards of a 

 half day's tramp. The members of the Institute are, 

 therefore, always pleased in the selection of this place 

 for one of their field days. 



The Proprietors of the House, the Messrs. Whipple, 

 are always courteous and very assiduous in their efforts 

 to promote the objects of these meetings, and to con- 

 tribute to the comfort of the members and friends in 

 attendance.
