12 Proceedings of the First Convention 



Jersey was to be Chairman of this first meeting. That I took 

 as evidence that the mosquito was not without honor in the 

 home of his friends, and it may be that the particular selection 

 of myself from among the Vice-Presidents is due to the fact 

 that for many years my own summer home was in the same 

 State as that of which Governor Murphy is Governor, and 

 my present summer home is in another place not unknown to 

 the mosquito. Long Island. I see by the order of exercises 

 which has been handed to me that the next thing in order is 

 the nomination and election of Vice-Presidents, Secretary and 

 Treasurer. 



Mr. Matheson then nominated Mr. Henry Clay Weeks as 

 Secretary. 



The nomination was duly seconded, and upon being put to 

 a vote he was unanimously elected. 



Chairman : We will now proceed to elect Vice-Presidents. 



It was moved that the names on the list of Vice-Presi- 

 dents selected be accepted as the Vice-Presidents with the ad- 

 dition of any replying later who were invited to act. 



This motion was duly seconded, and upon being put to a 

 vote was carried.
