 settings, many of w'hich few persons will ever be privileged to see 

 except here. But aside from what can be seen in the metropolis 

 of our country, and even aside from the papers and discussions 

 which feature these gatherings, it is worth any bird student's while 

 to attend these gatherings. It is not possible to express in words 

 the impression which they make. You ought to attend.
