 ri'ola, Ignacio de la Barra, and General Joaquín Beltran; to the members 

 of the Society resident in México, and particulary to the members of the 

 Local Commitee of Arrangements, all of whom hade much to do with 

 making the meeting one of the most successful the Society has ever 

 held. 



Itis the hope of the Society that this Convention may be the forerruner 

 of others which will foster a More Intímate l'rofessional relation between 

 the Engineers ot the Great Republics of North America, and that in the 

 near future a similar meeting make be held in This Country from which 

 the Engineers of México may derive some measure at least of the profit 

 and pleasure which in this instance have accrued to their American Bre-
