manufacturers' exhibition. 



Fine exhibits of microscopes, objectives, accessories, microtomes, 

 mounting instruments and materials, lenses of all descriptions, cabinets 

 for slides, microscopical literature, and mounted objects were made by 

 the following well-known dealers in microscopic supplies : 



By Messrs. Bauscii & Lome, of Rochester : Microscopes of their 

 own make, together with all microscopical supplies, objectives, micro- 

 tomes, books, etc. 



By Messrs. J. W. Queen & Co., of Philadelphia: Microscopes 

 (Acme) — calling especial attention to the easy movement of the coarse 

 adjustment. Slides of anatomical sections and of general interest, books 

 and accessories. 



By Dr. L. D. McIntosh, of Chicago : 5 microscopes, microscopic 

 attachment for use with solar or artificial light for projecting or photo- 

 graphing objects, solar stereopticons, slides, etc. 



By Mr. Joseph Zentmayer, of Philadelphia : Centennial, Army, 

 Histological, and Student stands, objectives, microtomes, nose-pieces, 

 general slides and other supplies. This is the first exhibition that Mr. 

 Zentmayer has made for several years. 



By Mr. G. S. Woolman, of New York : Microscopes, object boxes, 

 and many slides illustrating nearly all branches of microscopical mount- 

 ing, many of which were of a rare character. Noteworthy among them 

 were the histological and dental, many of which were beautifully stained, 

 others that required polarized light. The sections of rock attracted 

 attention, as did also those of insect scales, one of the slides being worth 

 $35. ■ 



FRIDAY afternoon THE EXCURSION. 



In the afternoon the microscopists embarked on a ferryboat at the 

 foot of Woodward avenue and were taken to Parke, Davis & Co.'s 

 laboratory, where they were shown through the establishment and re- 

 freshed with " the best medicine made there," as one of the gentlemen 

 put it. Again going aboard the steamer they were taken to the mouth 

 of the St. Clair canal and back to the city. While on the boat votes 

 of thanks were extended the citizens and microscopists of Detroit for 

 the pleasant entertainment afforded, Parke, Davis & Co. for their kind- 

 ness, the press for full and fair reports of the proceedings, and the re- 

 tiring officers. The new officers were installed and a splendid lunch 

 served. 



The new president. Dr. F. L. James, of St. Louis, is a most excel- 

 lent man for the position. Eminent not only as a physician and micro- 

 scopist, he is a good writer, and an editor of the St. Louis Medical and 

 Surgical Journal ., and also of the National Druggist. The meeting 

 which was bi-ought to such a happy close this afternoon was one of the 

 most successful ever held. In speaking of the session, one of the 

 members said : " To be sure the attendance was not as large as at the 

 Buffalo meeting, but the discussions, papers, and exhibits were excel- 

 lent. We leave Detroit very favorably impressed with its beauty and 

 the liberality of its citizens." 



The time and place for next year's meeting will be determined by 

 the executive committee and hereafter announced.
