THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



will have something over two hours and 

 we may have 150 slitles, possibly 200; but 

 if I simmer them down 10 the clear ones, 

 I presume the list will not be larger than 

 loj. We will have to have a recess and 

 general rest. Dr. Miller will give a 

 tribute to Laugstroth when his picture is 

 thrown upon the screen, and Dr. Mason 

 will be delegated to take up the funny 

 side of bee culture, and I have told him 

 to be priTued antl ready to throvv' in off- 

 hand whenever he gets a chance. 



Yours verv truly, 



E. R. ROOT.

One prominent feature of the ne.xt con- 

 vention will be the stereopticon work. 

 Messrs. Root and Hutchinson, with a 

 powerful stereopticon, will project upon 

 the screen some photos they have taken 

 of apiaries they have visited in diflferent 

 portions of the United States. The con- 

 vention will be held in Wellington Hall, 

 70 North Clark street, abotit a block and 

 a half from the office of the .liiiericaii 

 Bee Jounia.1, and about five blocks direct- 

 ly north of the court hou.'^e. The hotel 

 at which delegates may secure lodging is 

 the Revere House, about half a block 

 from the convention hall. The rate for 

 lodging will be 50 cents per night, and 

 the proprietor has assured Mr. York that 

 good beds are provided, but that several 

 will have to occupy the same room. But 

 when anyone desires a room with a single 

 bed, the charge will be $2.00 per night. 

 If two men wish to take a single room in 

 that way they can do it, sharing the ex- 

 pense between them. O. A. R. people 

 will have to pay 75 cents per night for a 

 single bed, so bee-keepers are specially 

 favored at 50 cents. The hotel is almost 

 within a stone's throw of the convention 

 hall, and right near the hall are first-class 

 restaurants where meals can be secured 

 at reasonable rates. 



It is a little too earlj' j-et to announce 

 what the railroad rates will be during 

 G. A. R. week; but it is assumed that 

 they will be low, probably a cent a mile 

 each way.
