The Kev. J. A. Campbell and Mr. ^Eneas D. Mackay 
spoke in favour of the motion, and it was unanimously 
agreed to, the Assistant Secretary being desired to write 
to the Government in terms of the resolution. 
The following letter from Messrs. Sandbach, Parker 
& Co. was read : — 
Demerara, 10th Oct., 1902. 
Dear Sir, — 
Messrs. Pickford & Black have requested me to 
convey their thanks to your Society, and to all those 
who sent them, for exhibits to the Toronto Exhibition. 
We have very much pleasure in now doing so. The 
local newspapers have given some information, and fche 
exhibits from British Guiana and the West Indies 
created a great deal of attraction. These exhibits will 
be removed, probably, from Toronto to the Halifax 
Exhibition, and it is possible some may go back to 
Toronto for the Canadian Manufacturers' Exhibition in 
1903. 
On the motion of Mr. ^Eneas D. Mackay, seconded by 
Mr. J B. Laing, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded 
to Messrs. Pickford & Black for the trouble they had 
taken in arranging the British Guiana exhibits at the 
Toronto Exhibition and also to Mr. C. G. A. Wyatt for 
the interest he had taken in procuring the exhibits. 
The President stated that at the next meeting Mr. 
Scard would read a paper on the Development of Cane 
Farming, and that early in November the Rev. W. B 
Ritchie would deliver an evening lecture on Pompeii, 
illustrated by lantern views. 
The thanks of the Society were accorded for the 
following donations : —
