The meeting on September 6th was originally arranged 

 for St. Paul's Cray, conducted by Mr. Adkin. It was im- 

 possible to carry this out, owing to the falling-in of the 

 Chiselhurst Tunnel, and Mr. Lucas very kindly filled the 

 breach by conducting a meeting to Oxshott. The Council 

 has to thank those gentlemen who have conducted these 

 meetings, and made all arrangements as to tea and trains 

 with such success. They feel that the good attendance of 

 Members and friends have assured them that their self-
