TUESDAY, JULY 4th, 1899. 

 fG^ftpHOUGrH the Society has visited Amesbury in the course 



a 



of its excursions more than once, it has never before been 

 made the centre at which an Annual Meeting has been held — and 

 some doubt was felt, both as to sufficiency of accommodation in 

 the place, and as to the difficulty of aocess to it from most parts of 

 the county. The result, however, proved that the choioe of the 

 centre for 1899 was more than justified. 



THE GENERAL MEETING of the Society was held at 3 o'clock, 

 at the George Hotel, the President occupying the chair, and some 

 twenty-two Members of the Society being present. The first 

 business was the reading by Mr. Medlicott of the Eeport.
