RECEPTIONS. 



Reception at Aquarium. — The first of a series of annual re- 

 ceptions to members was held at the Aquarium on Monday 

 evening, May 4. An attendance of about six hundred was noted, 

 including thirteen members of the Board of Managers. Ladies 

 from the Ladies' Auxiliary acted as a Reception Committee. 

 Motion pictures were shown of the porpoise expedition, and of 

 elephant seals on Guadalupe Island. Music and refreshments 

 were furnished. Hereafter this reception will be held on the 

 first Monday in May. 



Ladies' Day at the Park. — The Ladies' Auxiliary held a re- 

 ception at the Park on Thursday, May 14. Band music was fur- 

 nished and refreshments were served. 



Members' Day at the Park. — On Thursday, May 21, a re- 

 ception, with music and refreshments, was tendered to mem- 

 bers in the Administration Building. Arrangements were also 

 made to serve tea to members in this building on Thursday 

 afternoons, May 29, June 4 and 11, but the attendance on the 

 latter days was too small to justify their continuance. Here- 

 after this reception will be held on the first Thursday in June.
