Only a few days after your present 

 issue goes to print our Society will 

 be in annual session in Pittsburgh. 

 All arrangements, both local and na- 

 tional, seem to be working out nicely, 

 and unless something unforseen pre- 

 vents, this will be the greatest con- 

 vention we have ever held. There will 

 be a great exhibition, judging by the 

 entries booked, and the man who wins 

 the gold .medal this year will have 

 a winner. 



I shall leave here on Monday night, 

 Jan. 24th, for Pittsburgh. All mall 

 which will not reach here by Monday 

 should be addressed to me in care of 

 Ft. Pitt Hotel, Pittsburgh.
