ese talksare to be continued this year with a greater variety of subjects and morevaried speakers. The lantern-slides of northwestern birds, drawn and colored by BruceHorsfall, completed last year with text for the accompanying lecture by Mr.Eliot, have called forth much favorable comment. We have two sets of thesebeautiful slides for use in the field. Our fourth annual Art Exhibition washeld last spring, in cooperation with the Department of Botany of the Univer-sity of Oregon, and consisted of photographs and paintings of wild birds andtheir nests, with water-color studies of the wild flowers of the state, supple-mented by a most pleasing display of natural wild flowers blooming at thattime. Thousands of our people, both school children and grown-ups, receivedpleasure and instruction from this exhibit. As we move along, the young people fall into line with the enthusiasm ofyouth to carry forward what others have laid down; so may it ever be.—Emma J. Welty, Corresponding Secretary.

CASPAR WHITNEYPresident Audubon Society of Irvington-on-Hudson, New York (432) Reports of State Societies and Bird Clubs 433 West Virginia Audubon Society.—At the solicitation of our Society,Hon. A. B. Brooks, State Game Protector, delivered an illustrated wild-lifelecture in Parkersburg early in March, which was very entertaining, as well asinstructive. He showed several slides of song-birds and their nests, taken intheir native environments. The lecture was well attended and aroused muchinterest in nature-study among adults as well as the pupils in the schools. During the past winter, to create a friendly rivalry among the pupils ofthe manual-training department in the junior high school, our Society offeredfirst and second prizes for the best bird-houses. Utility was to be the firstconsideration by the judges, and workmanship next. The prizes were awardedin May, a dozen or more boys competing, with a very creditable exhibit.—Walter Donaghho, Secretary. Audubon Club of Norristow
