 Inasmucli as it is always desirable that so 



far as possible those who attend the meetings 

 of the American Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science should be sure when coming 

 of comfortable quarters in which to lodge, I 

 desire through the columns of Science to em- 

 phasize the importance of the recommendation 

 made on page 22 of the Preliminary Circular, 

 that the members of the Association corre- 

 spond in advance with the proprietors of the 

 hotels and the keepers of boarding houses in 

 order to secure pleasant quarters. There is the 



more reason for this because of the fact that 

 the President of the United States has signi- 

 fied his intention to be present in Pittsburgh to 

 take part in the celebration of the Pourth of 

 July, which is always celebrated in this city 

 in a manner that is unique. It is highly prob- 

 able that the city will be resorted to by a large 

 concourse of people from all parts of the coun- 

 try. The sessions of the American Associa- 

 tion do not conclude until the 3d, and it would 

 therefore be well for members intending to 

 be present to write at an early date, making 

 sure of their accommodations. There is 

 abundance of room at the service of the mem- 

 bers, but prudence dictates that an early appli- 

 cation for quarters should be made. In this 

 connection I desire to call attention to the fact 

 that very pleasant lodgings can be secured in 

 the dormitories of the Pennsylvania College 

 for Women, located in a delightful spot. Let- 

 ters referring to accommodations at the col- 

 lege should be addressed to the Rev. Dr. Chal- 

 mers Martin, President. 



The fact that the celebration of the Pourth 

 to which I have alluded is practically coinci- 

 dent with the meeting of the American Asso- 

 ciation should not deter members from attend- 

 ing, but should be an attraction. An 'old- 

 fashioned Fourth' in Pittsburgh is something 

 which those who have witnessed it will never 

 forget.
