254 Report of the Meetings for 1893. 



accountant, showed a surplus in his hands of £38. That 

 large balance arose from the fact that the printing of the 

 Proceedings was about £50 less than in the preceding year. 

 The Proceedings of the previous year had been very 

 extensively illustrated, and very properly too, as they 

 contained a work meant to be illustrated— the Pre-Eeformation 

 Churches of Berwickshire, by Mr Ferguson, Duns. He was 

 sure every member of the Club was gratified with that literary 

 production, which had received unqualified commendation from 

 the various literary societies to which it had been sent. 



ANTIQUITIES. 



Mr Thompson, Alnwick, exhibited an ancient urn which 

 had been found in a quarry at Amble about six months ago ; 

 and a javelin head found in a grave along with another urn, 

 which through the carelessness of workman had been broken. 



MEETINGS FOR NEXT YEAR. 



The following places were chosen for visitation next 

 year: — (1) Earlston for camps in Upper Lauderdale, which 

 have never been visited by the Club ; (2) Cockburnspath, for 

 exploration of East Coast from Bilsdean to Thornton Loch ; 

 (3) Belford, Bamborough and Spindlestone ; (4) Morpeth for 

 Bothal; (5) Grordon for Mellerstain Woods; and (6) Berwick. 



DELEGATES TO THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. 



Mr Hughes suggested the revival of the former custom of 

 the Club of sending two delegates to the annual meetings of 

 the British Association. Ultimately, after some discussion, it 

 was agreed that Mr Hughes and the President, for the time 

 being, or a member nominated by him, should be the 

 delegates. 



A vote of thanks to the President for conducting the 

 meeting and for his services during the year terminated the 

 proceedings. 



Members were pleased, both before and after the meeting, 

 to find the house of Mrs Bar well Carter, on her happy 

 recovery to health, re-opened for the examination of numerous 

 treasures interesting to the Club ; and here also visitors were 

 privileged to obtain another inspection of Miss Dickinson's 

 fine paintings of wild flowers. 



The members of the Club afterwards dined at the King's 

 Arms Hotel.
