bronze tablet; and fnll ])owers for determining the details and 

 proceeding with the erection of the monnment were delegated to 

 a snb-committee consisting of tlie chairman and treasurer. 



Various unavoidable matters have delayed the completion of 

 the monument more than the committee anticipated; but it can 

 now be stated that the plans for the monnment have been com- 

 pleted, the placing of the stone will soon be begun, and the 

 memorial Avill be dulv consummated during the present summer. 

 Eespectfully submitted,

A motion was then made, seconded and unanimously carried 

 that the report be received and referred to committee on resolu- 

 tions. 



G-eneral Bryant : Is there any member of the memorial com- 

 mittee present to whom we can hand contributions ? 



The President : Mr. Peabody and Mr. Clark are members of 

 the committee and are present. 



I think it will be well, in view of the limited time we have, 

 to first listen to those papers furnished by members who are here 

 themseh'es to read tliem, and then we can take up those ])apers 

 which are to be read by others, because there are undoul)tedly a 

 number of them that we will simply have to print in the proceed- 

 ings, so tliat if there is no objection we will go ahead and call on 

 those who are ]iresent first to read their papers. 



The Wisconsin commission would like to know exactly how 

 many gentlemen are going tomoi'row night to Bayfield. The 

 transportation is furnished and those who go will simply pay 

 for their sleepei'. The train will return Monday morning and 

 will reach Chicago at 9 o'clock. The Bayfield Hatchery of 

 course is one of the latest and most up-to-date hatcheries in the 

 country, and is well worth a visit.
