Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society: At the Annual Meeting, January 8, 1884 Pursuant to notice duly issued by the clerk, the third annual meeting was this day held in the Council Chamber, Old State House, at 3 P. M., President Curtis Guild in the Chair. The records of the last meeting were read and approved. After the election of new members the President addressed the meeting as follows: - President Guilds Address. Fellow members of the Bostonian Society: It is gratifying to be able to state, that this our third annual meeting, finds our Society in a healthful condition, free from any debt or incumbrance, with a roll of about 340 members composed of those who are more or less identified and interested in the advancement of the interests of the city of Boston. The objects for which this Society was formed appear now to be more generally appreciated and understood by the public than at the outset, and as our organization advances in age and usefulness will receive increased support from all who recognize the utility of our efforts.
