MINUTES OF THE FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING

OF THE SOCIETY.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1889.

THE Society was called to order by the President, F. C.

Sessions, Esq. The Secretary stated that as the fiscal

year of the Society did not close until the 19th of Febru-

persons to fill these places, Mr. A. A. Graham, Gen. R.
