Messrs. S. Marj^-erison (Cal\ erley), E. Naylor (Bradford), 

 and H. B. Booth (Bradford), were added to the permanent 

 General Committee. 



After much discussion the excursions for 1906 were arrani^ed

It was also decided that an excursion be arrang'ed on 

 August Bank Holiday in connection with the meeting- of the 

 British Association at 'S'ork. 



By the invitation of the \'ork Society the next annual 

 meeting- of the Union will be held in the capital of the county, 

 probably in December, when Mr. W. Eagle Clarke will deliver 

 an address. 



At the conclusion of the meeting of the General Committee 

 tea was provided in the Restaurant in the Cartwright Hall, 

 after which the members had an opportunity of seeing- the 

 various archceolog-ical, botanical, and natvu-al history exhibits 

 which had been brought together for the benefit of the Union. 

 Several of these were of altogether exceptional interest, and it 

 was arranged that the exhibition should be continued during the 

 following week for the benefit of the public. Dare we go so 

 far as to hope that the exhibits arranged on Saturday last may 

 be looked upon as a commencement of a public Natural History 

 Museum for Bradford? The Cartwright Hall — which has so 

 recently been opened as an Art Gallery and Museum —is a 

 building of which an}- city might be justly proud. The struc- 

 ture is grand —the rooms within it are fairly numerous, 

 spacious, and well lighted the exhibits already on view - 

 pictures, statuary, &c., are beautiful. So far Bradfordians may 

 congratulate themsehes. Brr, is there any city in ^'orkshire 

 of anything like the size of Bradford that cannot boast of its 

 museum of loail geology, antiquities, and natural history? 

 Is there an\ town ol any importance whatever but has its local 

 histor\ represented in some u ay oi- anolln-r ? C^ui there be any
