Annual Meeting Of Danes.
The Colonial Danes held their annual
meeting Mt 1870 O'Clock yesterday with
Mrs. Herbert a. Claiborne, the president,
in the chair.
Mrs. Claiborne, IN addressing the Danes,
said:
Feelings of humility and of very great
pleasure overwhem me my dear friends,
when l realize your never-failing con-
sideration of me. Humble l am, because
you overestimatc my influence and use
fitness; pleased, because in, the years
that have passed since I was chosen
TO be your president nothing but nffec-
tionate regard have 1 received at your
hands. ! thank you from my heart.
Virginia Danes have done good work.
When think of our scholarships; our
tablets, our transcribed registers, our
publications, and many less important
achievements, / am rrouder than can
express.
But as the deeds of our distinguished
and long dead forefathers should stimu-
late their children's children to emu
) late their heroism, even so in the efforts
of the Danes, good work accomplished
should make us eager to do more for
Virginia, more to honor her dead, and in

,E''There is much to be done, and II each
Dame will but lay her hand and heart
to that which we hope to do this So
cety which We all love will accomplish
things Of which we have not yet dreamed.
1.-THE purport of our existence is not
self-exaltation or vainglory but con-
scientious cndeavor to do what we can
in our day and generation. We will not
pass this way again.
Each soldier must be quick to hear,
firm to act always in his place, and this
great principle of alert activity should
also be ours.
Each in her place and ready to do
her part to forward our many hopes and
plans.
THE fascinating history of Virginia
is well worthy of preservation in stone
and literature. and the work of the Vtr-
ginia Danes has been worthy of the
cause for which they have striven.
LET us not only maintain the dignity
and efficiency of the Society of the Co
lonial DANES of Virginia, but let us make
its work so glorious that coming genera
y tons will be inspired to carry it forward
when we are gone, fully maintaining the
historical prestige Of our loved and cher
jsl,cd State"
Splendid reports were made by the diff
ferent Officers, that Of the treasurer,
Miss Montague. Showing an excellent
bank account, and that of the recording
Z secretary showing good work done by the
+ DANES during the year.
A beautiful photograph of n silver
punch bowl and cups. contemplated by
the ladies as a gift to the battleship Vir-
GINA, was exhibited, but was not de-
cided on. 1t was decided that the gift
should take the form of handsome
piece Of silver, and committee was
appointed to consider the most nppro-
pirate form for the same.
In the election of officers the Danes
paid Mrs Claiborne the compliment Of
unanimous reelection to the presidency
by a rising vote, this in srte of the fact
that Mrs. Claiborne explained that her
approaching marriage would not: insure
her presence at every meeting. The
high esteem In which she has always
been held personally and the apprec'a-
ton felt by the society for her able
administration Of it's affairs were clearly
evidenced by the enthusiasm shown when
1t was decided that she would retain her
office.
Mrs. Charles Washington Coleman Of
Williamsburg Va, and Mrs. George ~.
Mayo OF Richmond, were also reelected
as first and second vice-presidents Board
members elected were Mrs. VA II. Per-
lins. Mrs. VIC. stanard, Mrs. James

clusion Of an interesting meeting the So
cioty adjourned to meet again next Oc-
tober.
