nomination of new members, and, in response, six names were 

 duly proposed and seconded, and formally passed by the meeting. 

 Rev. W. S. Smith, of Antrim, in a happy speech, moved that the 

 best thanks of the meeting be given to the Salt Union (Limited) 

 and Mr. Miscampbell, manager of the mine, and Mr. Pennall, 

 works manager, for their kind permission to pay that interesting 

 visit, and for their courtesy and attention to the party. The 

 motion was seconded by Mr. J. M'N. Stevenson, and carried amid 

 applause. After some further words from several members, the 

 party separated, and the ascent of the shaft was safely accom- 

 plished. 



Road was next taken for Woodburn Glen, and by kind 

 permission of the Belfast Water Commissioners, a pleasant hour 

 was spent in examining the beauties of the glen, and in 

 admiring the fine view that is obtained from the bank of the 

 reservoir immediately above it. When the party were thoroughly 

 rested, the return walk was commenced, and Carrickfergus was 

 reached sufficiently early to permit of a ramble through the 

 ancient town before train time. Assembling once again at the 

 railway station at 6-30, the return journey to Belfast was made 

 in good time, and the party separated, having spent a highly 

 enjoyable and instructive day. 



TEMPLEPATRICK AND DUNAGORE. 



The final excursion for this season was held on Saturday, 

 September 5th, under atmospheric conditions not at all in 

 keeping with the weather usually enjoyed by the Club. The 

 party left the Free Library at ten o'clock in wagonettes for 

 Templepatrick, Rathmore, and Dunagore. Passing along the 

 beautiful slopes of Ben-Madighan (Cave Hill), the fine views of 

 lough and hill were much enjoyed, and the fort at Duneanach, 

 overlooking the beautiful Church of Carnmoney, was observed 

 with interest. Passing through Glengormley (the dark blue 

 glen), the old coach road to Templepatrick was soon reached ;
