A handsome silver trowel was presented to Mrs. 
Horniman, who then made a very appropriate 
speech. The upper stone was lowered into its 
place, after which Mrs. Horniman tapped it with a 
mallet and used the level, declaring the stone duly 
and properly laid ; and the ceremony closed. 
On November the 7th, Mr. Quick gave a Lecture 
on “ The Evolution of the Tobacco Pipe,” before

and of native men and women smoking pipes from 
different parts of the world. A small collection of 
curious pipes from the Museum were on exhibition.
