ANNUAL MEETING
Ol' THK
Historical and Scientific Society of Mariitob
The annual meeting ot the Society took
place oti the eveninjj of l-'ehruary {)th,
m the rooms of the Society in tlie City
Hall, Winnipeg. Mr. John MacIJeth,
President, occupied the chair. The re-
ports of the Council, of the Treasurer, of
the Library Conunittee, and of the Joint
Library Committee were presented and
adopted.
ANNUAL KEPOllT OF Tlll<:
COINCIL.
The Kxecutive Council beg leave to
present their twelfth annual report. It
is noted with pleasure that the total
membership is now probably larger than
at any previous time in the history of the
Society ; that the treasurer's report shows
a most satisfactory credit balance ; and
that there has been steady progress and
development in the various departments
of the Society's v/ork.
Meetings of the Society.
During the past year the Society has
held five meetings. On May 4 Dr.
Bryce gave a biography of Adam Thorn,
the First Recorder of Rupert's Land ; on
June 10 a special meeting was held to
unveil Seven Oaks Monument ; on Octo-
ber 2i) a lecture was given by K. N. L.
Macdonald, Kscj., upon "Alaska and
British Columbia ; " and on November
2(5 a paper was read by Reverend Dr.
Bryce upon the "Older Geology of the
Red River and Assiniboine Valleys. "
On June lit, 189], just seventy-six
years after, the Society unveiled at Seven
Oaks, in Kildonan, the first commemora-
tion stone formally erected by a society
in Western Canada. The site, distant
about three miles and a-half from the
centre of the City of Winnipeg, has
become historical, in that it was the
scene of the affray in which Governor
Robert Sample, of the Hudson's Bay
Company, and about twenty of his men
lost their lives in an encounter with the
representatives of the North-West Com-
pany. This early conflict is notable not
merely from the affray itself but from its
far-reaching results to the colony of Red
River, for it brought to an issue and a
settlement many of the disturbing ques-
tions that were then causing disconl aiil
preventing peaceable cAlonizalion ni
these western lands. It was the site of
this affair that the Society determitKil to
mark and commemorate. There wck
present many of the older members of
the Society ; a large number of the early
settlers of Red River ; and also sonic of
the descendants of the parties en^janni
on both sides.
After a brief address by the presidL-iii
Mr. John MacBeth, the Lieutenant-Covtr-
nor of Manitoba unveiled the moiuinicnt.
Mr. C. N. Bell, an ex-president, liaviiii;
read a short historical account. The Chief |
Justice and Mr. Justice Dubuc, Canon
Matheson, the American Consul, aii<l
Lieut.-Col. Villiers, D.A.G., and Cant
Howard, representatives of various de
partments of civil and military life, iiiailt
appropriate addresses commemorative of
the event and its consequences upon the
early and present history of this country
As it is the intention of the Society io
publish among its transactions a full
report of these proceedings, it is un
necessary to enter into further detail]
here.
The papers of Dr. Bryce caused a j,'ooi
deal of comment, and, aside from their |
special value as scientific contributiou>
have been a great factor in the inslruc
tiou of the people generally of thel
Canadian North-West on the 'jeologyoi
their adopted country.
MiiNeiini.
The collections of the Society are co;;
stantly increasing. Many kind anJl
generous friends have given donatiouil
during the past year, among whom luayl
be mentioned Horace Belanger, Ksq,
Chief Factor, Hudson's Bay Companyl
Norway House, who sent the Society al
complete list of the members present a;[
the council meetings of the Coinpam
held at Norway House. C. N. Belli
Esq., F.R.G.S., has presented the vSocietjl
with three copies of The Nor'-Westerj
The vSociety is also indebted to R. "
McFarlane, Ksq., Chief Factor, Hudsc
Bay Company, for an interesting donaj
tion of amber found at Cedar Lake. Its
to be hoped that some effort will be niadtj
to dispose of the duplicate specimens iioij

Irs. Jameson after her return to Kng-

ptory of Northwestern Canada. The

iier additions have just passed through

Ident may now find on the Society's

file number of exchanges upon the
fiety's list is at present a total of
On its exchange list may be noted
oiiR many others the Boston Public
frary, Harvard Library, the Royal
jiiety of New South Wales, the Colo-
lui^litute, and many others. Many
uests have been received for the
pety's earlier publications, but it is to
be regret 1 that so many are now
entirely out of i)rint and cannot be jiro-
cured.
The annual iniblications of the Ameri-
can Oovernnient and of the Smithsonian
Institute are being regularly received,
and tl.e .Society's collections of these
publications are fairly complete.
l{4>a<liiiK Kooiii & Piiblif liibrary.
The increase of membership, without
any very special effort on the part of the
vSociety, is an evidence of the contitiued
favor which the public feel towards the
Public Library and Reading Room under
the Society's control.
More nt.ticeable indeed than ever is
the fact that at an early ilate increa.sed
accommodation for the Society, its col-
lections, its reading room ann library
must be obtained. Sometimes the reacl-
iug room is so crowded that it is difficult
to obtain access to the journals filed
there. It is to be regretted, too, that
there is not some easier means of access
to the files of newspapers, now attaining,
through twelve years' accumulations,
somewhat large proportions. The files
of North-West newspapers now number
approximately 2S4 volumes.
Increased growth means increased
activity and usefulness, and although no
positive complaints have been made, the
Library Committee must at an early date
apparently, consider the question of in-
creased accommodation.
The number of Knglish magazines
subscribed for by the Society is 10, and
of American liU ; a total of ;W. The
number of North-West newspapers upon
the vSociety 's files is 58, of Knglish 6, of
Canadian 8, and of American 4. The
only new magazine added this year has
been " The Review of Reviews," one of
the most remarkable successes in jour-
nalism of the present day. Its popu-
larity among our subscribers is quite
apparent, so much so indeed that for the
ensuing year the Library Committee
have decided to add the Knglish edition
as well as the American hitherto sub-
scribed for.
The number of books issued as com-
pared with the two previous years is as
follows :

The Bank of British North America,

Canada, Commercial Bank of Manitoba,
The Molsons Bank, have already made or
are now making general arrangements
by which their envire staffs may have
access to the privileges of the .Society's
reading room and public library. It is
expected that the desirability of con-
ferring the privileges of the Society upon
their staffs will occur to the managers of
financial and other institutions. In no
other place probably in the whole of
the Canadian North-West is it possible
for library subscribers to have access to
such a wide field of current literature.
It is to be noted also that the lyibrary
Committee has in almost every instance
adopted all the suggestions as to ordering
books contained in the suggestion book.
Many favorable comments have been
passed upon the considerate action of the
committee in this matter.
Respectfully submitted.
JNO. MacBkth,
President.
Treasurer's Keport.
For the third successive year the
Society's finances show a surplus. The
receipts of the Society from all sources
were $1,218,92, and the expenditure was
$1,0()0.00.
A summary of the receipts and expen-
diture is given in the Treasurer's report.
In view of the fact that by virtue of
the increased membership and no antici-
pated increase of expenditure of an ex-
traordinary nature, there seems to be no
doubt but that the coming year will
witness a no less satisfactory result.

The Committee reports that its
work has been carried on during tlievs
with satisfaction. There was an iiistniciij
at last annual meeting that $1")0 shoi
be devoted to the purchase of '
maps or manuscripts relating to j
history of the Canadian Nortb-Wij
Up to date $118.60 has been spent J
directed, and the Committee has inv
a number of valuable books which|
fully tax the resources of the .Socffl
The Committee would recommend 1
its successors in office should expendj
balance, as well as $150 for the com
year for this purpose. The Coinmil
also recommend that the files of al!J
