W ei;t 8ion's eminent services to the Society nro fre$h in the memory of us ull, and have beon frequently alluded to since his retirement from tho Secrot:irin.t i11 1889, His iudefotignble li~bonrs iu the Society's behalf will be especitilly deRlt with iu the next Volume of our .drclu:eolo,qia, bnt mere words ommot possibly convey an adequate expression of the v1ilue of his long and devoted services. In him we have lost a firm Mend, a bl'illiaut At·chroologist, 11nrty, particulars of whfoh, when completed, will be prepared for our Transactions. In assembling at Deal this year for the first time, the Council feel confident that the members will thoroughly enjoy their two days' sojourn in a district so full of archreological interest. The Rev. J. A. Boodle moved: "That the Report as read be adopted." This was seconded by J. F. Wadmore, Esq., and carried unanimously. It was moved by the Rev. A. J. Pearman, seconded by George Dowker, Esq., and carried, " That the 1·etiring Auditors be re-elected for the ensuing year." It was moved by E.W. Fry, Esq., seconded by T. F. Peacock, Esq., and carried, "That the six retiring Members of the Council be re-elected." The following were elected to Membership: 'l'he Rev. J. Marling Apperly, C. W. Thompson, Esq., Mms Stokes, .Alderman Cottew, and Miss A. J. Chambers. The Business being ooncluded, progress was made to Deal Castle, which, by the courtesy of Lol'd Herschell, G.O.B., etc., was opened for the Society's inspection. W. L. Rutton, Esq., F.S.A., kindly read a Paper on the history of the fortress, after which the company perambulated the interior and the ramparts, subsequently proceeding in carriages to Betteshanger, the seat of Lord Northbourne, who had most 1dndly invited the members to partake of light luncheon. During the repast the noble President, on behalf of the Society, cordially thanked Lord Northbourne for his generous hospitality. After luncheon the company divided into parties, which were conducted over the house by Lord and Lady N orthbourne, Miss James, and his Lordship's Land .Agent. Ample time was allowed for those who wished to pay an informal visit to :Betteshanger Church, which stands within. the park. Ash Church was next visited, under the kindly guidance of the Vicar, the Rev. T. S. Woods, M.A., who read a Paper on its history. After an examination had been made of the many :fine monuments the Chmch contains, the party returned via Sandwich to Deal, where PROCEEDI NGS, 1898. xlix the Annual Dinner took place in St. George's Hall. The Earl Stanhope presided, and was supported by the W orship£ul the Mayor, the Rev. A. J . Pearman, W. H. Burch Rosher, Esq. and Mrs. Burch Rosher, Alderman Cottew, the Rev. T. S. a.ud Mrs. Frampton, R. Cooke, Esq., the Honorary Secretary and Mrs. George Payne, and about fifty other ladies and gentlemen. Dinner being concluded, the noble President was obliged to leave in order to catch the t rain, having previously requested the Mayor to take his pln.ce at the hen.cl of the table. The u:rogress was made to St. Margaret's-at-Cliffe, where luncheon was partaken of at the hotel. After luncheon the company proceeded to the Church, wlrnre the Rev. G. M. Livett, Vicar of Wateringbury, gave an interesting address on its architectural history. While this was being listened to a thunderstorm passed over the immediate locality, which prevented the company from leaving the Church for upwards of an hour, and perhaps fortunately, as it gave Mr. Livett au opportunity of doing full justice to this gem of Kentiah Churches.
