 great success in every way. It was more numerously 

 attended than last year's excursion, and two large brakes were 

 requisitioned for the trip. The triji was via King Harry Ferry to 

 Philleigh, thence to Glerrans, Trewince, and down tlie narrow strip 

 of land overlooking St. Mawes and Falmouth towards St. Anthony-

 and Mrs. J. Collette Thomas. The weather of Monday was so 

 wet, cold, and dull that Tuesday's prospects were far from invit- 

 ing ; but early on Tuesday morning a slight northerly breeze and 

 a rising barometer gave promise of fine weather, which fortunately 

 held good. The company included Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. TJiomas,
