Business having been dealt with the meeting continued in. the form of an "Old English" afternoon, with a "roil call" of old and treasured articles, when several very old articles were exhibited one believed to be two hundred years old. A solo, "An Old English So'ng," rendered by Mrs C. Mellor, was much appreciated.
