 (In 



UnlTiilo. N. Y.. September :«).— The 

 twelfth iiniiUiil Hoo-IIoo conesitenation was 

 lielil in KnfTalo on the 0th and 10th inst, 

 anti wa.< a siieee.«s in every way. 



The Imsjness ol' the meeting while 

 larRely of a routine character brought out 

 some matters of importance and at the 

 same time was handled in pnimpt fashion. 



In point of entertainment there was 

 noUiin? left undone. The local members, 

 as previously announced in these columns, 

 made great preparation and were untir- 

 ing in their efforts all during the session. 

 In thils iiartieular they were largely lielped 

 out by the Buffalo women. 



The attendance while not as large as ex- 

 pected was of the usual size and the num- 

 ber of women present was of such extent 

 as to be remarked upon. 



The thing of chief interest w.is the elec- 

 tion of oflicei-s for the ensuing year, which 

 resulted as showh above. The principal 

 contest came over the election of snark, 

 three candidates being put in nomination 

 for that oflSce. Mr. Vietmeicr was elected 

 on the first ballot and was promptly con- 

 ducted to the chair by the defeated can- 

 didates — O. E. Yeager of Ruffalo, and 

 I'latt B. Walker of Minneapolis, ami<l 

 much applause and good feeling. The re- 

 maining ofiiees were fdled largely without 

 contest. 



Aside from the election and after the 

 formal opening of the convention, the 

 snark's address, the scrivenoter's report 

 and the appointment of committees and 

 their reports occupied the time of the con- 

 vention.
