EXCURSION OF THE NEW ENGLAND DRUG 

 CLERKS AND PHYSICIANS TO THE 

 FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONVEN- 

 TION OF THE AMERICAN PHARMA- 

 CEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 



The excursionists will leave Provi- 

 dence Depot, Boston, on the evening of 

 Friday, August 31, for Fall River, where 

 they will embark for New York on one 

 of the floating palaces of the line named 

 after the former port. Staterooms, sup- 

 per and breakfast on the following morn- 

 ing will be provided on board. The 

 forenoon and a substantial part of the 

 afternoon may be spent in a ramble about 

 the city or in business and social calls, 

 our special train over the Pennsylvania 

 Railroad to Washington not leaving 

 Gotham until 4.30 P. M. Washington 

 is reached at 10 25 P. M., allowing time 

 for supper at the Sixth Avenue depot 

 before continuing in the Pullman sleepers 

 provided there for the night ride. Dan- 

 ville is reached early the next morning, 

 and a stop made there for breakfast. 

 Round Knob is reached at 2.36 P.M., and 

 there dinner will be served. The road 

 thence winds up and through the moun- 

 tains to Asheville, where our train is 

 scheduled to arrive at 4 P. M., thus al- 

 lowing ample time for a rest and general 

 grooming before sitting down to supper 

 in the baronial dining-hall of that superb 

 hostelry, the Battery Park Hotel, or in 

 the comfortable and home-like rooms of 

 first-class boarding houses in the imme- 

 diate vicinity of the headquarters of the 

 Association. 



Our party will remain in Asheville 

 until the afternoon of Saturday, Septem- 



ber 8, when the return to New York and 

 Boston will be made under conditions, 

 similar to those already detailed. 



The cost of the round trips as arranged 

 will be as follows: 



Boston to Asheville and return, includ- 

 ing, briefly, parlor cars to Fall River,, 

 stateroom, supper and breakfast on board 

 the boat, supper at Washington, sleeper 

 thence to Ashville, breakfast at Danville, 

 dinner at Round Knob, board and lodg- 

 ing at the Battery Park Hotel from Sep- 

 tember 2 to September 8, and meals and 

 accommodations on the return journey 

 same as those of the outward trip, $70.. 



We have also arranged a round-trip 

 rate of $60 from Boston to Asheville and 

 return, including all of the above advan- 

 tages with the single exception of board 

 and lodging at the Battery Park Hotel. 

 This sum gives board and lodging at 



thoroughly first-class boarding houses 

 within a half-mile radius of the Battery 

 Park. We have little doubt but that 

 this reasonable rate will appeal with 

 special force to the drug clerks. It 

 affords a splendid opportunity for a 

 delightful and instructive vacation at a 

 very moderate cost. 



We have had a number of inquiries 

 from members of the A. P. A. and others 

 who desire to join our partj^ in New York, 

 We have, therefore, made two rates for 

 the trip thence to Asheville and return, 

 viz.: $60 and $50. The first includes 

 all the items between New York and 

 Asheville and vice versa, as set forth in 

 the $70 trip from Boston. The second' 

 differs from the first inboard and lodging 

 only, which in this case, as in that of the 

 $60 trip from Boston, will be provided in 

 first-class bDarding houses within hail of 

 the Battery Park. For further informa- 

 tion inquire of Neiv England Dr2iggist, 

 s. s. Peirce Bldg., Centraf Wharf, Mass., 

 or C. A. Mayo, Chairman Transportation 

 Committee. 



Delegates to A. P. A. from the Alumni 

 Association of the College of Pharmacy 

 of the City of New York are: Thos.
