gave particulars concerning many of the paintings and 
other objects. 
Parties were then formed for the usual collection of 
geological, entomological and botanical specimens. The 
geological party was in the hands of Prof. Harrington, the 
botanical under Mr. Gibb, the entomological under Mr. 
Albert Holden; and all set about their work enthusiastic- 
ally. Others dispersed themselves about the grounds in 
little coteries, and enjoyed more quietly the varied beauty 
of the site. The broad expanse of the Ottawa with its 
dark waters, the varied green foliage of the trees, the wind- 
ing walks with their rustic seats in charming nooks, all 
formed a most charming coup dil. The collecting parties 
having returned to the manor loaded with spoils, a very 
hearty vote of thanks (on motion of Mr. J. H. R. Molson, 
seconded by Prof. Bovey) was given to Mr. Papineau, who 
made avery neat reply. Farewell was then said, and the 
party returned to the station. Here an agreeable surprise 
was in store for them, for a car specially fitted up and 
prettily decorated with flags, hanging baskets, &c., had 
been added to the train, and the party were invited by 
Messrs. A. C. and W.S. Burgess, who were in charge, to a 
most recherché repast as the guests of the railway company.
