Cambridge, Mass., the oldest ex- President of the Association, Dr. Newberry, of 

 N. Y., Dr. Carpenter, of London, England, Dr. Szabo, of Hungary, Dr. Gilbert, 

 of Rotherham, England, Dr. Rae, the celebrated explorer, of London, England,, 

 His Worship the Mayor, Dr. St. Jean, Mr. C. H. Mackintosh, M. P. for Otta- 

 wa, and Dr. Sweetland. Besides the excursionists there were present large num- 

 bers of citizens too numerous to mention, including the best representatives of 

 the profession and commercial sections of the city. Mr. Mackintosh, member 

 for the city, briefly said he was happy to be present at the assembly and asked 

 His Worship the Mayor to take the chair. Dr. St. Jean at once complied and 

 then read a warm address of welcome. 



He then requested the company to proceed to lunch, which all were ready 

 for after the long journey. 



The committee deserves the greatest credit for the lavish entertainment. 

 Of everything on the menu card there was abundance and to spare. The attend- 

 ance was also excellent and ample. After luncheon the chairman said that it 

 would afford great pleasure to hear a few of the gentlemen present. 



Mr. Dawson, of McGill College, Montreal, in reply, said that he had very 

 much pleasure, on behalf of the association of which he was president, to return 

 the society's hearty thanks for the cordial greeting which had been extended 

 them by the citizens of Ottawa, and much more of appropriate character. 



Dr. Carpenter, on behalf of his fellow countrymen and himself, was happy 

 to say that there was never a more delightful meeting of the association, and he 

 would beg to return their most cordial thanks to the citizens of Ottawa for the 

 fine reception which had been accorded them, which he could assure them was 

 thoroughly appreciated by them. 



Prof. Asa Gray, Dr. Jno. Rea, Mr. Perley, Prof. Newberry and Dr. Grant 

 followed with similar remarks. 



Three cheers for the Queen terminated this part of the programme. 



After the speeches the party dispersed in various directions, many going to 

 Rideau Hall, Beech wood and other- places. All rendezvoused at the Union Sta- 

 tion at six o'clock and discovered that the train would not leave till eight o'clock. 

 In consequence of the unexpected delay many of the party were the welcome 

 transient guests of several who had gone to the station to see them off. Our 

 own personal thanks for courteous attentions are due to Mr. and Mrs. McLeod 

 Stewart. 



On Sunday, August 27th, the annual prayer meeting, inaugurated at the 

 Saratoga meeting, was held and was participated in by Principal Dawson, Prof. 

 H. C. Hovey, Prof. Lovewell, Prof. Bassett, Rev. Dr. Mathewson, Rev. James 

 McCaul, Rev. Mr. Hungerford, Prof. C. W. Hall and others. 



Note. — An account of later proceedings will be given hereafter with full report or co- 

 pious abstracts of some of the more important papers, especially one on Anthropology by 

 Prof. F. W. Putnam.— [Ed.
