Father Malcahy, P.P., and by Mr. Dickson, one of the local 

 gentry, and by several members who had come to Ballycastle 

 overnight, and had had a busy forenoon's photographing of the 

 choicest bits of scenery of this lovely spot. Passing below cliffs 

 of white Chalk, the curious arched rocks at the east end of the 

 bay were visited, and a return made to Ballintoy, where the 

 machines were in waiting, and brought the party by the 

 picturesque but very hilly old road back to Ballycastle, where 

 an excellent tea was ready, supplied by Mr. Hunter, and to 

 which the members did full justice. At the conclusion of the 

 repast, the President of the Club (Mr. John Vinycomb, F.R.S.A.) 

 congratulated the members on having had their usual good 

 fortune in regard to weather. He appointed Mr. William Gray, 

 M.R.I.A., judge of the archaeological collections, and Mr. R. 

 Lloyd Praeger, M.R.I.A., judge for the shell prize. He referred 

 in suitable terms to the recent death of Professor James 

 Thompson, of Glasgow, an ex-President of the Club. 



Mr. William Gray moved, and Mr. J. J. Andrew seconded, a 

 resolution of sympathy with the relatives of Professor Thomp- 

 son, which was carried in silence. The election of new mem- 

 bers was then proceeded with, and the following ladies and 

 gentlemen were declared duly elected : — Miss Gamble, Mrs. 

 Logan, Mrs. M'Coll, Miss M'Coll, Messrs. J. Dunville Coates, 

 Jas. Maxton, M.I.M.E., R. S. M'Dade. 



The judging of the collections then took place. Mr. F. J. 

 Bigger carried off the archaeology prize, his collection including 

 some large fragments of a cinerary urn and a number of bones 

 and flint implements. The shell prize fell to Mrs. Leslie ; a 

 second prize was awarded to Miss Turtle, a juvenile member of 

 the party, who was a good second. Road was then taken for the 

 railway station, and Belfast was reached at nine o'clock.
