THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. 1 3 



The Corresponding Secretary was then called on to read the 

 papers of the evening ; the first of which, entitled " The Idyl of a 

 Rambler," was from the pen of Mr. H. B. Small, of Ottawa. 



Mr. Small, in his paper, set forth the many aspects of joy and 

 beauty in which nature is wont to display herself even to the casual 

 student of her varied phases. 



The second paper, which gave an accurate account of the events 

 prior to and connected with the Battle of Stoney Creek, was written 

 by Mr. Douglas Brymner, Dominion Archivist at Ottawa. The facts 

 narrated were for the most part based on original documents con- 

 tained in the Dominion Archives, copies of which were attached to 

 the paper. 



At the conclusion of the reading of the papers Mr. Small was 

 elected to represent the Association at the annual meeting of The 

 Royal Society of Canada.
