ELEJ'ENTH ANNUAL MEETING. i»i 



Mr. R. a. Moore : Mr. President and Members : When Dr. 

 Redmond was once addressing an audience which was very sym- 

 pathetic, after he had spoken he asked if anyone would hke to 

 ask him any questions and a gentleman asked him one, with 

 the result that they carried him out on a shutter to the hospital, 

 and a policeman came in and quelled the disturbance in the hall. 

 And after it was all over the chairman rose and said, "Is there 

 anybody else that would like to ask Mr. Redmond a question?" 

 but no one ventured to do so. Now I want to say in regard to 

 the first part of question number 9, "no," and in answer to the 

 last part "it does," and I hope that no one will ask me any 

 further questions. 



A Member: Mr. President, I see by the program that there 

 are several who are down to speak on these questions, who have 

 probably prepared papers which they would have read if there 

 had been time. I move that they be requested to hand in their 

 papers to the Secretary so they can be incorporated in our 

 printed report. 



Motion seconded and passed. 



President Platt : I will now announce the members of the 

 various Standing Committees that have been selected to serve for 

 the ensuing year: Injurious Insects — Prof. W. E. Britton, J. H.

It now being nearly 5 p. jr., and a majority of the members 

 desiring to leave on the early evening trains, on motion it was 

 voted to adjourn, and with concluding remarks of a congratula- 

 tory nature from the President, the Eleventh Annual Meeting 

 of the Societv was declared closed.
