The attendances at these excursions varied from 25 at Bally- 

 castle to 120 at Langford Lodge. 



The best thanks of the Club are due to Miss Clarke, for 

 Murlough ; George Coffey, M.R.I.A., for the Boyne ; Rev. 

 Narcissus Batt, A,M., for Rathmullan; W. J. Knowles, M.R.I.A., 

 for Ballymena ; The Marquis of Downshire, for Dundrum; and 

 the Rev. A. H. Pakenham, for Langford Lodge. Also to the 

 different Railway Co.'s for the advantages given and the 

 courtesies extended to the members. 



The formation of the Irish Field Club Union, whereby the 

 Field Clubs of Ireland will have a central Committee, will, 

 doubtless, work for the general benefit of all concerned. It 

 is not intended that the individuality of any Club should 

 be sacrificed, but it is contemplated that there should be an 

 annual gathering each summer of all the Clubs and an inter- 

 change of lecturers during the winter. As an initiation it is 

 proposed to hold a conference of the Field Clubs next July in 

 Galway, when excursions will be held and papers of general 

 interest brought forward.
