THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 151 



"These few remarks cannot be brought to a close without my thanking Mr. Mandel- 

 baum, our genial ' Mandy,' the New York representative of the Merrill Company, 

 for it was through his instrumentality that the Merrill Company became acquainted 

 with the Alumni Association. He has always been our friend and on many occasions 

 our associate. 



•' And now, Mr. Jeffras, in the name of the Alumni Association I thank you ; fellow 

 members of the Alumni Association I have just given thanks for you, now let all of 

 you join me in giving three rousing cheers for the Merrill Chemical Company, for 

 Mr. Chas. H. Jeffras and our Mandy, together, ' taking time from me.'" 



The great enthusiasm with which it was received by the members must have made 

 the donors feel happy. 



Our genial friend Mandelbaum was so affected by the outburst of enthusiasm that 

 for once speech failed him and be could only nod his deep appreciation of many 

 thanks which were extended. The cup is a beauty and will grace the Alumni room- 

 as will be noticed by reference to the illustration it is fittingly inscribed and bears the 

 Alumni seal in gold and blue on its face. It was given as a bowling prize to be com- 

 peted for by the various classes of the C. P. C. N. Y., who are members of the 

 Alumni, each class to be its custodian until wrested from it by another class. 



The first contest for its temporary possession will be at the next annual outing in 

 June, 1901— second Wednesday— and no doubt there will be a spirited contest for the 

 trophy. 



The ladies' prize bowling resulted in the following as winners : Miss Molloy, first 

 prize ; Miss Andravette, second prize ; Mrs. Geo. Schweinefurth, third prize. 

 The hundred-yard dash was won by Miss Kittie C. Owens. 



Another feature of the day was the magnificent game of baseball played by the 

 Alumni team against a team from Charity Lodge, F. and A. M. 



The Alumni was ably captained by Dr. Gies and Charity Lodge by its "baby," 

 Harry L. Jauss. Charity started in with a rush and soon had everything its own way, 

 including the umpire and scorekeeper, but the inimitable Rudy and his cohorts played 

 an uphill game, keeping the opposing nine down with only three runs to their credit 

 for several innings, then they got a winning streak on and tied the game after 

 Charity had made two more runs and the umpires had rendered several decisions fa- 

 vorable to both sides. In the last inning, however, the boys showed the stuff they 

 were made of, and rolled up five more runs and as a result. Charity needed part of 

 that mantle which they are ever ready to spread over their friends and fellows — 

 thanks to the umpires, Lohr and Borggreve and the scorekeeper, Erb, the game was 

 won with the score 10 to 5. No doubt the Alumni mascot "Gene" also had some- 

 thing to do with this result for he was all smiles. 



Owing to the absence of the Alumni Rifle Association the shooting went on in a 

 very desultory manner until seveial of the ladies took a hand and made nothing but 

 bullseyes, then the boys woke up and showed that they too could handle a gun. 



The shooting resulted as follows : Adolph Tscheppe, first prize, L. W. De Zeller, 

 second prize, and Harry Yager, third prize. 



Dance music, dispensed by Crowley's Eighth Regiment Band, was fully enjoyed by 

 the fair sex and their partners, and nearly every piece was encored. 



The supper, which was indulged in by at least two hundred and fifty of the mem- 

 bers and friends, was a very enjoyable affair, as in many instances the inner man 

 had been neglected for several hours or more. The supper bell was hailed with de- 

 light. It was during the supper that the loving cup was presented, Mr. Jeffras and 

 Mr. Mandelbaum having been invited by the President to sit near the head of the 

 table.
