'209 of the meeting was manifest A in the number Of applications Which came up for action at the last meeting of the Trustees, when thirty-two new members were elected. A110 bursement Was for souvenirs at the time of the annual dinner in January, on Which occasion it was determined to send souvenirs to those mem- bers Who. could not attend as Well as to those who participated in that celebration. The ad- ditional expense was about 3400, and, if one may judge. from the sentiments expressed by those absent members who thus profited by the innova- tion, the Society has been strengthened and more firmly intrenched in the regard of its members than ever before. The die from which our badge is struck required repairs, which cost 378.7 5, and before distributing the type from which the Year Book Was printed, a number of smaller books, containing merely the By-laws and list of members ,I Were printed for distribution among those Who Were not entitled to receive the e Year Book, and for purposes of exchange with similar societies, at an expense of 584. I Our Year Book, as heretofore, is a large item in our expense account, but most deservedly so, since it Wins golden opinions everywhere and is more and more sought by libraries and other institutions for the valuable collections of genea- logical matter which it publishes and makes accessible, and because of the attractive and aristocratic appearance Which it presents The Nineteenth Anniversary Dinner WHS the largest ever given by the Society, and some say that it was the most successful.

2o8 it was remarkable that three of that number died upon one day. Our necrology for the past year includes three of the founders of the Society, Cornelius Van Brunt, George Van Wagenen and George West Van Siclen, our first Secretary, than whom no one was more enthusiastically devoted to the pro- gress of the Society. Two others on the list of the dead were among those elected at the second regular meeting which followed the foundation of the Society in june, 188 5, Selah Reeve Van Duzer and Peter Q. Eckerson. Albany con- tributed four to this mortuary roll and is the largest sufferer, among her dead being Thomas J. Van Alstyne, who was Vice-President for that county at the time of his death. g The report of the Treasurer, which also accom- panied the notice of this meeting, showed that our receipts from all sources, including our balance at the beginning of the year, made a total of 57674-34- Our disbursements took all of this amount except the sum of 3B387.26, which was carried over to the new year. Among Our large expenditures will be noticed the purchase of two bonds for 352,o8o, and the expense of an additional meeting to which our friends were invited and which cost us - 383810. This meeting took place December 1 5, 1903, and was attended by about four hundred members and guests, who were entertained with an illustrated lecture by our gifted fellow member, Prof. Dwight L- .E11T1G11d01'f, depicting a trip through Holland.

2IO the last word was said and appeared to wish that the function might continue longer. Here are some of the opinions, evoked by the Year Book and the souvenir, which have been mentioned above. . A typical letter concerning the souvenir: NoR'rH BEND, OHIO, Feby. 8, 1904. HENRY L. BOGERT, Esq., Secretary Holland Society. Dear Sir .' It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the rect. of the fac simile of the medal struck off by the order of the States General of the Netherlands, April 19, 1782, in Commemoration of the A Inde- pendence of the United States,-and more espe- cially do I regret my inability to be present at the Anniversary Banquet of the Society last month- of which the medal and its associations formed so interesting a feature. On each of these annual recurring Reunions of the Sons of Old Holland it has been my misfortune to be with you only in spirit-tho a bodily presence would have added to my enjoyment. Very Truly Yrs. -INO. HUNN VOORHEES.
