interests of this Association; to Mr. W. M. 

 Hoge for his energy and exertions in secur- 

 ing a good display at tlie American Institute 

 Fair and to the venerable Peter Cooper for 

 the free use of the Hall in which we held 

 our meetings. 



In accordance with an understanding A. 

 J. King took the stand and producing a nice 

 gold-headed cane, read thereon the follow- 

 ing inscription: "Presented to Wm. J. 

 Andrews by the National B. K. Association, 

 Oct. 18, 1877." Mr. King remarked that it 

 was a pleasure him to thus publicly acknow- 

 ledge the appreciation of the services Mr. 

 Andrews had rendered the Association dur- 

 ing the past year as its president, and the 

 interest he had taken in its prosperity and 

 usefulness. In presenting it to him in be- 

 half of the Association, he would only ask 

 that it may be received as a small token of 

 their respect and esteem. 



Mr. Andrews was surprised to receive this 

 honor, and responded by saying that he 

 should ever cherish it as one of the most 

 valuable things in his possession. 



On motion the Convention adjourned to 

 meet again on the second Tuesday of Octo- 

 ber, 1878. J. H. Nellis, Pres. 



Thos. G. Newman, Sec'y. 



1^ Mr. W. M. Hoge, manager of the 

 honey department of Messrs. H. K. & 

 r. B. Thnrber & Co., starts for Europe 

 some time during this month to look 

 after their extensive honey interests on 

 the Continent. Last season this firm 

 opened negotiations with European 

 correspondents for the exportation of 

 honey, as our honey market was dull, 

 and low prices prevailed; the idea 

 proved to be a good one, and before the 

 season closed they had shipped and 

 sold 300,000 lbs., principally to ports in 

 Great Britain, but also to Bordeaux, 

 Hamburg, and Stockeron (in Austria). 

 The demand from Europe this season, 

 which is now beginning, promises a 

 large increase on that amount. 



1^ We have issued a large special 

 edition of the Journal containing tlie 

 Report of tlie Kational Convention, 

 award of the Gold Medal, and an illus- 

 trated catalogue of the display of 

 Honey and Implements for the Apiary, 

 which producers will do well to scatter 

 among consumers. Such will do con- 

 siderable to awaken an interest among 

 them and at the same time serve to 

 create a demand for honey. We hope 

 all will feel interested in scattering 

 them. Price 20 cents each. 



1^ C. O. Perrine, Esq., has returned 

 from Europe. He traveled in England, 

 France, Germany, and Italy, and saw 

 many bee-masters there. He has pur- 

 chased 200 queens and had them sent 

 on to New Orleans, where he returned 

 on the 27th ult. He brought with him 

 16 queens, 8 of them died eu route. He 

 reports having had an enjoyable trip. 



Removal. — In order to get more 

 room for our constantly - increasing 

 museum of implements for the apiary, 

 we have removed our office to No. 974 

 AVest Madison St., where we have two 

 floors 20x60 feet each. The Madison 

 street cars (going west) pass our door, 

 making it very convenient for those 

 visiting the city to call on us. Below 

 is a map of the city showing the differ- 

 ent R. R. depots, which will assist any 

 one to find our new office.
