On reading and filing the petition of the Lyceum of Natural His- 
tory in the City of New York, duly verified by John S. Newberry, 
the President and chief officer of said Corporation, to authorize it 
to assume the corporate name of the New York Academy of Sci- 
ences, duly setting forth the grounds of the said application, and on 
reading and filing the affidavit of Geo. W. Quackenbush, showing 
that notice of such application had been duly published for six 
weeks in the State paper, to wit, The Albany Evening Journal, and 
the affidavit of David S. Owen, showing that notice of such appli- 
cation had also been duly published in the proper newspaper of the 
County of New York, in which county said Corporation has its 
business office, to wit, in the Daily Register, by which it appears to 
my satisfaction that such notice has been so published, and on read- 
ing and filing the affidavits of Robert H. Brownne and J. 8. New- 
berry, thereunto annexed, by which it appears to my satisfaction 
that the application is made in pursuance of a resolution of the 
managers of said Corporation to that end named, and there appear- 
ing to me to be no reasonable objection to said Corporation so chang- 
ing its name, as prayed in said petition: Now, on motion of Gros- 
venor 8. Hubbard, of Counsel for Petitioner, it is:
