REPORT OF SOCIETY’S MEETINGS. RA" 
these logs to some of our buyers, but none of them care 
. to make an offer at present, as they do not see what the 
wood can be used for. None of these woods appear to 
be similar to the samples our buyers suggested should be 
sent, but we will do our best to dispose of them, 
Yours very truly, 
FOY, MORGAN & CO. 
The Secretary said that this sale would probably pay 
the cost of all the timbers. 
Mr. L. M. Hill said he was sorry to see the remark 
about the squaring of the timber, but it agreed with his 
experience of the carelessness of the woodcutters of to- 
day. 
Mr. W. Cunningham said that in reporting on these 
timbers before shipment he had said that the squaring 
was not very good, but as the logs fairly represented 
what they were prepared to supply he allowed them to 
pass. | 
In reference to the inlaid tables, which were before 
the meeting, the Secretary reported that after the ad- 
verse report of Messrs. Foy, Morgan & Co. the Dire€tors 
had got them returned through Mr. Nevile Lubbock, the 
Resident Direétor in London. Mr. Cunningham had seen 
the tables unpacked and had sent the following letter :— 
Georgetown, Demerara, 14th O€tober, 1897.

Hon. Seéty., R. A. & C. Society. 
Sir,—In accordance with the request contained in yours 
of the 12th inst., I inspected the two tables returned from 
Messrs. Foy, Morgan & Co., and I am pleased to say 
that they appear to be in fair order with the exception 
of a little shrinkage, which caused the centres to bulge
