Excerpt from The Devonian Year Book, Vol. 1: For the Year 1916, Seventh Year of Publication The second Concert was held under the presidency of the Right Hon. T. J. Macnamara, LL.D., Parliamentary Secretary of the Admiralty, at the Balham Assembly Rooms, generously placed at the disposal of the Committee by Mr. J. B. Beare, a native of Devon. The proceeds were, on the advice of Earl Fortescue, forwarded to the Mayoress of Exeter for the purpose of being added to her fund for soldiers and sailors already in existence. Mr. R. P. Chope gave the members of the Association an illustrated lantern lecture on Farthest from Railways: an Unkwn Corner of Devon, a full report of which appears on pages 55 - 75. The chair was taken by Mr. J. C. Pillman, j.p., one of our vice-presidents, and there was an excellent attendance. The Children's Party was held as usual at the Holborn Hall, and was a distinct success, 134 children and over 160 adults being present. A distinct and charming' invation was the presence of a number of Belgian Refugees, to whom special invitations had been sent. The Annual Dinner and the Annual River Trip were both cancelled.
