The following circular was issued and sent to each member of the Society, containing the arrangements for the meeting: THE AMERICAN IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY. ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING AND TWELFTH ANNUAL DINNER OF THE SOCIETY. The Twelfth Annual Meeting of the American Irish Historical Society will take place at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, Saturday, January 8, 1910, commencing at two o’clock in the afternoon. It has been the custom at previous meetings of the Society to assemble at six o’clock, hold a short business meeting, followed by a dinner commencing at seven o’clock, at the conclusion of which historical papers would be read. It has been found difficult to properly appreciate the learning and research shown by the eminent authors of historical papers in the meagre time between the termination of a good dinner and the hour when the meeting should end, and this year the Executive Council has made a new departure in this regard, which it is earnestly hoped will meet with the approval of our members. The meeting of the Society will be called to order at two o’clock in the afternoon in the New Banquet Room on the first floor of the Hotel Plaza by the President-General. The first business will be the presentation of reports of the President-General, Treasurer-General, and Secretary-General, followed by the election of General Officers, Executive Council and State Vice-Presidents for the ensuing year. The Executive Council, at a meeting held in New York, November 12, 1909, nominated a board of officers to be voted upon at this meeting, the names of whom appear elsewhere in this circular. The report of the Secretary-General will contain the statistics of the Society, the list of new members, names of those dropped for non-payment of dues, synopsis of the work the Society has done during the past year, and other interesting information. It is expected that the business of the Society and the presentation of scientific papers will all be completed at an hour which will give members ample time to dress for dinner. The Meeting Room will be open at 12.30 o’clock, and members on their arrival are requested to register themselves and their guests. The annual dinner will take place in the Grand Ball Room promptly at seven o’clock, and the Dinner Committee are informed that the management of the hotel plan to give us a most enjoyable dinner and extend us every possible courtesy. The Executive Council, following the departure inaugurated at the Eleventh Annual Meeting in Washington, D. C., January 16, 1909, have voted that members may invite ladies and gentlemen as guests.
