184 REPORT OF THE MEETINGS FOR 1897 



suggested might be, and probably were, the shoes of some of 

 the cavalry that perished at the battle fought at that place in 

 1333. There was also on view a photograph of the antlers of 

 Cervus elaphus found by Mr G. P. Hughes, at Middleton Hall, 

 and which he thinks are the largest specimens known in Great 

 Britain at least. 



It would not be right to close the account of the proceedings 

 at this meeting, without referring to the kindness of Mrs 

 Barwell'Carter in the hearty welcome she accords to the 

 members of the Club, who find at the Anchorage so many 

 objects of interest and so very much to admire. And whether 

 examining the rich stores of natural history specimens, Miss 

 Dickinson's beautiful paintings of flowers, or other works of 

 art, or entering into conversation with the charming hostess 

 and her friends, this visit to the Anchorage is one of the great 

 pleasures of the Berwick Meeting. This year Mrs Barwell- 

 Carter, aided by her nephew, Dr Patrick Maclagan, made 

 special arrangements for the convenience and enjoyment of her 

 visitors. May she long be spared to welcome the forgathering of 

 the members of the Club to see her treasures of nature and 

 art!
