 at the Belford, Greenlaw, and Cheviot meetings ; but I am 

 happy to say that my friend Mr Tate, our indefatigable 

 secretary, has furnished me with copious and interesting 

 notes relative to those meetings. The notes of the Ancrum 

 meeting I have supplemented largely from the account of 

 the day's proceedings, given in the Kelso Chronicle, by Mr 

 Tait, one of our members, and editor of that journal. These 

 notes I shall now lay before you, reserving to a subsequent 

 part of this address any remarks which may occur to me 

 bearing upon the subjects brought under notice.

 September. Few members appeared at breakfast as the
