Field Day to Montfort. 61 



anglers were also at work on the lakeside l3ut if truth 

 must be told, with very little' success, for, from some 

 reason or other, the fish, and there were many in the lake, 

 refused to bite. Had there been time, there is no doubt 

 tliat some members of the party would have climbed the 

 hills on either side of the lake, but neither was climbing 

 nor, indeed, walking in the woods, found to be an easy 

 matter, for nature has been left to herself in these districts, 

 and the woods have not been spoilt by the hand of man. 



Towards five o'clock a move was made for the cars, and 

 a few minutes after that hour the return journey 

 commenced. 



The run was this time down hill to the junction with 

 the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was of a quite exciting- 

 character. 



By the kindness of Sir William Van Home refreshments 

 were served on board the train, which were much 

 appreciated, and which helped to pass the time. 



Montreal was reached at 8.20 p.m., every one agreeing 

 that the field day had been both most enjoyable and 

 successful. While en route it was announced that the 

 following prizes had been won for collections : — 



Botany (unnamed specimens), Sidney Lyman and Fred 

 Brown, equal, first, and Miss E. G-. Watson, second ; 

 entomology, H. N. Cowan, first, and E. Norris, second ; 

 geology, (unnamed specimens), H. Cone first. The judges 

 in the sections were : Botany, the Misses Yan Home ; 

 entomology, Messrs. H. H. Lyman and A. F. Winn ; 

 geology, Mr. E. T. Chambers.
