On Motion, duly made and seconded, the report of the 

 Treasurer was adopted as read. 



The Chairman : The appointment of committees should 

 come next but, owing to the length of our program this evening 

 I am going to claim the indulgence of the audience and will 

 appoint the committees tomorrow forenoon, and will now pro- 

 ceed with the president's address, but first will say that for the 

 first time I have to stand before you and make an explanation 

 and apology for the absence of Mr. Jules G. Lumbard, which 

 I know will prove a disappointment to you as it has to everyone 

 of the officers of this association. We received a letter from 

 Mr. Lumbard stating that he was at the first meeting of this 

 association twenty-nine years ago, and I believe he has missed 

 just two meetings of the association since that time. I know 

 his absence will be a disappointment to you; it is tO' us, as it 

 seems that a big part of our program is lost when we have not 

 Mr. Lumbard with us. He says in his letter that although 

 he is not with us in person his heart is with us here and he wished 

 to be remembered to the boys, and it was only the exactions of 

 a strenuous political campaign which kept hi maway from here. 

 His campaign managers positively forbade his leaving the city 

 at this time.
