Chicago-Northwestern. — The Execu-

Through the kindness of friends it is possi- 

 ble to hold the next convention of our Asso-

 Hall," in the Bush Temple of Music, corner 

 of Chicago Avenue and Clark Street, Chicago. 

 This is the same hall where the National As- 

 sociation met last December. Arrangements 

 have been made with the restaurant in the 

 basement to serve good meals at very reason- 

 able rates. The Revere House will lodge bee- 

 keepers at their usual low rates. This hotel 

 is at the corner of North Clark and Michigan 

 Streets. 



Dr. C. C. Miller writes: "I don't know 

 how much I can do toward making or marring 

 the convention, but, Providence permitting, 

 I'll be there." 



N. E. France 6ays: "So far as I know now, 

 I can come." 



C. P. Dadant writes : " I promise to attend 

 your convention if possible." 



Let us have a full attendance of all the bee- 

 people (ladies and gentlemen) within reach 

 of Chicago. Come and see the great Interna- 

 tional Live Stock Exposition, and spend part 

 of your time at the bee-keepers' convention. 



The meetings will be as follows: Wednes- 

 day, Deo. 5, 10 a.m. to 12 m; 2 p.m. to 5:30
