224 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



On the afternoon of Tuesday a tally-ho, several carry- alls and any num- 

 ber of carriages were provided in which the party were taken out to Druid 

 Hill Park which almost equals our own Central Park. On the return trip 

 we were shown through the newer parts of Baltimore, taken through the 

 smaller parks and then down Broadway through Old Baltimore, as they 

 call it. The next day, Wednesday, was the " gala day." The programme 

 announced " a sail down Chesapeake Bay on the iceboat Latrobe." 

 Everybody felt highly elated at the thought of having a sail on an iceboat, 

 the heat had been so oppressive, but they were doomed to disappointment ; 

 the iceboat was the " hottest thing in town ;" talk about the "Alumni 

 radiator" — couldn't touch it. However there was the local committee 

 again; soda, ginger ale, lemonade, even beer was dispensed to the thirsty 

 excursionists. The sail down the historic Chesapeake, passing Fort Mc- 

 Henry and the ground where was written that song of songs, " The Star 

 Spangled Banner," was a matter of two hours, during which time we were 

 treated to oysters, terrapin, soft-shell crabs and other sea foods galore. 

 Arriving at Annapolis the first place visited was the state capitol, which is 

 built on a hill about in the center of the town. This building contains 

 the room in which General Washington relinquished his commission as 

 Commander-in-chief and bade farewell to his officers. 



This room is now used as Senate chamber and in the various desks were 

 copies of " A Law to Regulate the Practice of Pharmacy in the State of 

 Maryland." After the inspection of the building, and while waiting for 

 the photographer to take a group picture, the Local Committee presented 

 Col. Wm. H. Lore with a beautiful field glass to partly repay him for his 

 good offices in behalf of the committee. He accepted it with thanks and 

 made a pretty little speech. 



The group picture taken just in front of the Capitol was a success and 

 your committee have hung a copy of it in the Alumni Room at the College. 



Hardly had the picture been taken when the cry ran like fire up the 

 hill — " Cervera is down the street ;" so down the street the crowd went 

 and had the honor to shake hands with the distinguished Spanish pris- 

 oners. Thursday there were receptions galore by the " Maryland Club," 

 the "Baltimore Club," and by President-elect Dohme. I tell you boys, 

 Dohme did it up "brown." But Friday night capped the climax ; they 

 "trolleyed" us all over town and finally took us to Electric Park; while 

 there we were treated to a genuine vaudeville, to good music, to fireworks, 

 and how some of the boys would have liked the horse race, betting ran 

 high, so they would have been in their element. 



Now all this, mind you, was doled out to the members, delegates and 

 their ladies without expense, and the Local Committee was untiring in its 

 efforts to please all at all times, so don't you think you should give 

 "three cheers for Baltimore and the Local Committee."
