British Association at Hull. 
In addition, invitations to visit their works were given by : 
Messrs. Reckitt & Sons, Ltd., Starch, Blue, Metal Polish 
and Canister Works ; Messrs. Needlers, Ltd., Chocolate 
Works ; British Oil and Cake Mills, Ltd. ; Joseph Rank,. 
Ltd., Flour Mills ; G. & T. Earle, Ltd., Cement Works ; 
National Radiator Works ; The North Eastern Railway 
Docks ; The Humber Portland Cement Works at North 
Ferriby ; and by the Hull Fishing Vessels Owners’ Association 
to visit the Fish Dock. The Hull Trinity House, Cottingham 
Tuberculosis Hospital, and the Corporation Telephone Ex- 
changes were also thrown open for inspection. These various 
firms, etc., made admirable arrangements for the members par- 
ticularly interested, and in most cases provided refreshments. 
Messrs. Morton, Limited, gave a large number of free seats at 
the Grand Theatre to members of the British Association. 
Excursions of a more general interest were made to Scar- 
borough, Bridlington and Beverley, at the invitation of the 
respective Corporations, and to York at the invitation of the 
Yorkshire Philosophical Society, in each case the hosts pro- 
viding refreshments. The party had an official welcome at 
York from the Lord Mayor. Special trains, reduced fares and 
other arrangements were admirably carried out by the staff 
of the North Eastern Railway, under the supervision of Mr. 
P. Carr. 
As guests of the Local Committee, about 500 members 
were entertained on a River Trip to Spurn Point : the P.S. 
‘ Brocklesby ’ having been kindly placed at the Committee’s 
disposal by the Great Central Railway Company. Refresh- 
ments and an orchestra were provided by the Local Committee r 
while chocolates and liquid refreshments were handed round, 
largely owing to the generosity of local firms. 
At the request of many members, the Sites of the Lost 
Towns of the Humber, and other features were pointed out 
by the present writer. 
A pleasant Garden Party was arranged jointly by the 
Governors of Hymers College and the Hull Literary and 
Philosophical Society, when various entertainments were 
provided. 
There were one or two new features at Hull which seem to 
have been appreciated, judging from the members’ remarks 
and press reports. Each member was provided with an ar- 
tistic badge in enamel and gold, each of which bore the number 
of the member’s ticket, and, by the aid of the numbered 
index to the List of Members, the identification of any par- 
ticular person could at once be established. These badges- 
were worn throughout the meeting by everyone, from the 
President downwards, and practically gave free admission to 
various meetings and social functions.
