Abstract
THE final arrangements for this year's meeting are now sufficiently completed for a fairly accurate forecast to be made. Whether the meeting will be large or small it is still too early to judge, but whether large or small it will certainly be a very interesting one. As to accommodation in the town, there is little doubt but that at the time of meeting ample accommodation will be available, though the committee have had great difficulties in inducing hotel keepers and lodging-house owners to reserve rooms for members of the Association, and have only partially succeeded. Dover being a sea–side resort, there has been a natural dislike on the part of owners of hotels and lodgings to offer to disturb those visitors who may possibly have come for a longer stay for the sake of members of the Association who may only wish to spend a week or so. There will, however, be accommodation available in Deal, Canterbury and Folkestone for those who cannot find rooms in Dover. It will be well, however, that intending visitors to the Dover Meeting should inform the local secretaries (E. Wollaston Knocker, C.B., and W. H. Pendlebury, M.A., Castle Hill House, Dover) of their intention, so that approximately the amount of extra accommodation may be known.
