Convention Notices. 



Another slight postponement of the National conven- 

 tion seems to be unavoidable. The fat-stock show, upon 

 which we have depended for reduced rates on the rail- 

 roads, has been postponed two weeks. The reason giv- 

 en is " the inability of the builders of the amphitheater 

 to secure structural steel for the same," and they don't 

 wish ta hold the show out of doors, hence the delay. Of 

 course there will be no excursion rates during the first 

 week in December; and as it would be suicidal to at- 

 tempt to hold a convention without excursion rates the 

 Executive Committee has decided to postpone the con- 

 vention two weeks in order to take advantage of the 

 stock-show rates. The dates for the convention will 

 now be December 19, 20. and 21. 



' The place of meeting has also been changed to Brunt 

 Hall, in the Bush Temple of Music, corner of Clark and 

 Chicago Aves This was done because it was feared 

 that the accommodations at the Revere House might 

 prove too limited. The Chicago bee-keepers, with their 

 customarv enterprise and liberality, will pay for the use 

 of the hall. It is only five minutes' walk north from the 

 Revere House, which will be headquarters for the mem- 

 bers. This new place of meeting is in a new building 

 where everything is modern. There are adjoining com- 

 mittee-rooms, toilet- rooms, good drinkng water, and el- 

 vator service, both day and night.

The 15th annual meeting of the Illinois State Bee- 

 Keepers' Association will be held in Springfield, on 

 November 21 and 22, 1905, at the G. A. R. Hall in the 

 courthouse. The lailroads will give a rate (open) of 

 one fare and a third for the round trip, on account of 

 the I. O. O. F. meeting the same week. Let all bee- 

 keepers come and bring their wives, and help us to get 

 out the best report we have ever had published. Our 

 State has been so helpful to bee-keepers as to aid them 

 in publishing their report and suppressing foul brood, 

 so let us show our appreciation of the same by aid ng in 

 the wise use of the funds appropriated.
