A goodly number listened to the interesting address of
Mr. Scott, who exhibited souvenirs of his visit to
England.
Mr. Lawrence illustrated his story by nearly a hundred lantern slides, many of them from his own negatives, thus adding much to his instructive address, which was highly appreciated.
The paper upon Trinity Church was accompanied with portraits of all its clergymen and their wives, prominent members, views of the church edifices and places connected with its thirty-eight years of existence.
Mr. Platts gave an interesting account (illustrated) of a new industry not generally known.
On all three occasions the electric lantern was operated by
Mr. Eddy.
All these speakers are members of the Society, and were entitled to a larger hearing than was given them.
On two occasions the number was small, though augmented by the presence of personal friends of the speakers.
