Some of the members then explored King Arthur's Castle,

“Tintagil half in sea and high on land,”1

but unfortunately a thick haze prevailed over the sea, which, while obscuring the surrounding views, recalled to many Lord Tennyson's apt description of the situation of this ruined fortress,

"... in lone Tintagil far from all."1

For an account of the places, churches, and objects visited on this day, members are referred to the excellent guide, pp. 16-28, compiled by Mr. Claude H. Peter for the use of members, alluded to above, and to the list of books given by him on p. 1 of the same work.

This day's proceedings were under the guidance of the Mayor, Mr. J. Kittow, to whom all who took part in the excursion are greatly indebted for the trouble he took on their behalf, and for his excellent management of the party, which resulted in a very enjoyable, as well as instructive, day.

In the evening the party returned to Launceston, and one of the most interesting as well as successful Meetings came to an end. The officers and members are deeply grateful to all in Launceston who contributed (sometimes it is believed at much personal inconvenience) to this success. When all gave so warm a welcome it would be invidious to particularize, but the thanks of the Association are specially due to the Mayor and Mayoress, to Mr. T. C. Reed, and Mr. Otho Peter, for the time and trouble they devoted to the members; and last, though not least, to Mr. Claude Peter, the local secretary, for his admirable arrangement of details and unfailing courtesy. To him the General Secretaries are very grateful for his help and co-operation. Everything worked smoothly, and although the parties taking part in the various drives and excursions were larger than usual, they were so excellently managed that not a single hitch occurred, and the programme in each case was punctually carried

out.

No account of the Proceedings of the Association at Launceston would be complete without a reference to Mr. Richard Peter, the learned historian (conjointly with his son Mr. Otho Peter) of Launceston and Dunheved,

1 The Last Tournament, by Lord Tennyson, ed. 1878.

and father of Mr. Claude Peter, to whom many members had the privilege of being presented, and by whom they were so courteously received. He completes his onehundredth year in October, so that his reminiscences were most interesting to those who were favoured with them.

Examined with Vouchers, and found to be correct, with a balance of £35 5s. 4d. in favour of the Association, this 9th day of July, 1909.
