Clark, Mr. Henry E. Eoot, and the secretary, Mr. CTeorge F. Pea- 

 body, as the program committee. 



Is there any other business to be transacted this morning ? 



Mr. Clark : I would like to say, if there are any papers that 

 Mr. Peabody has not a list of, the committee should know what 

 they are and what they have reference to so that we may be able 

 to arrange a program. So if any one has any papers that they 

 are going to present, that Mr. Peabody has not received, just give 

 them to him, and then we can arrange our program so that it will 

 be ready for the afternoon session. 



Secretary Peabody : It is also customary for the mc mbers 

 to give their names to the stenographer, as a sort of enrollment, 

 instead of calling the roll. We have four or five hundred mem- 

 bers. It is rather unnecessary to call the entire list of names, 

 and if those present will simply give their names to the sten- 

 ographer, that records them as present. 



Mr. Clark: Another thing: Mr. President, any names of 

 new mend3ers ought to be handed in, I tliink, right now. 



President: If there are any names, band them in in writing. 



Mr. A. C. Roberts: I will state that I have some cards that 

 we use for that purpose, for candidates for membership, and if 

 any members have names they wish to present I would like to 

 have the names for membership presented on those cards. 



Mr. Meehan : Before we take the recess, Mr. Hinrichs, the 

 chairman of the reception committee, would like to speak a 

 moment to the members. 



Mr. Hinrichs : Mr. President, and gentlemen : I just wish 

 to call your attention to the program that has been mapped out 

 for the members of this association. At 7 o'clock this evening- 

 there will be several cars in front of the Reed House, which will 

 take the members up to Waldemere Park, four miles west of here. 

 It is a beautiful spot, and I know you will all enjoy yourselves 

 there and appreciate the scenery. To-morrow morning at 7 :30 

 sharp, there will be boats at the public dock, foot of State street, 

 which will take all those that wish to go out onto the fishing
