TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL MEETLNG. 45 



Secretary Miles : Mr. President, I would like to 

 make just a brief announcement. I would like to say to those 

 who have sent in by mail orders for banquet tickets, and have 

 not received them, if they will call for them at the desk in 

 the rear of the hall they can be obtained. 



Those who have bought railroad tickets and have had 

 g-iven to them railroad certificates should understand that 

 they are to turn in those certificates at the railroad station, 

 and the stub will be returned, to be brought to this meet- 

 ing, to be countersigned. We are required to deposit two 

 hundred before we can get the reduced return rates. 



Will those who have paid their membership dues for 

 this year please put on their badges. Then we will not be 

 troubling you as we pass through the audience to-day and 

 to-morrow in the collection of dues. 



President Rogers : It has been our custom to appoint 

 the Committee on Nominations on the second day of the 

 meeting, but it has been suggested to the chair that this 

 committee be appointed to-day. 



You know that this committee is raised for the purpose 

 of presenting nominations for the officers of the Society for 

 the next year and that the list submitted by the committee is 

 to be voted on at the election of officers to-morrow, so you 

 see that this committee is a pretty important one. 



What is your pleasure in the matter, gentlemen? 



A motion was then made and carried that Stanclifif 

 Hale, of South Glastonbury, be appointed a member of the 

 Nominating Committee, from Hartford County. In like 

 manner, A. N. Farnham, of New Haven, was appointed 

 from New Haven County. 



E. A. Jones, of New Canaan, from Fairfield County. 



J. H. Putnam, of Litchfield, from Litchfield Count}-. 



William I. Allyn. of Ledyard, from New London 

 County. 



Everett E. Brown, of Pomfret, from Windham County.
