  HOSPITALITY 
  TO 
  SCIENTIFIC 
  SOCIETIES 
  

  

  The 
  Museum 
  is 
  yearly 
  becoming 
  more 
  generally 
  recognized 
  

   as 
  a 
  center 
  for 
  the 
  gathering 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  scientific 
  societies 
  

   of 
  the 
  city 
  and 
  country, 
  and 
  its 
  lecture 
  halls 
  and 
  conference 
  

   rooms 
  have 
  been 
  in 
  almost 
  continuous 
  demand. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  spring, 
  the 
  halls 
  on 
  the 
  ground 
  floor 
  of 
  the 
  west 
  

   wing 
  were 
  used 
  for 
  an 
  exhibition 
  prepared 
  under 
  the 
  direction 
  

   of 
  the 
  Committee 
  on 
  the 
  Congestion 
  of 
  Population 
  in 
  New 
  

   York 
  City. 
  

  

  The 
  Members 
  of 
  the 
  Fourth 
  International 
  Fishery 
  Congress 
  

   were 
  the 
  guests 
  of 
  the 
  Museum 
  on 
  September 
  28, 
  and 
  the 
  

   foreign 
  delegates 
  were 
  most 
  emphatic 
  in 
  their 
  praise 
  of 
  the 
  

   work 
  which 
  this 
  institution 
  is 
  doing. 
  

  

  In 
  November, 
  the 
  two 
  halls 
  on 
  the 
  ground 
  floor, 
  east, 
  were 
  

   placed 
  at 
  the 
  disposal 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  Horticultural 
  Society 
  

   for 
  its 
  first 
  annual 
  flower 
  exhibition. 
  Various 
  species 
  of 
  roses, 
  

   chrysanthemums, 
  pinks 
  and 
  orchids 
  were 
  shown 
  and 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   hibition 
  proved 
  most 
  popular 
  and 
  attractive. 
  

  

  By 
  far 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  of 
  these 
  special 
  exhibits 
  was 
  

   that 
  of 
  the 
  "International 
  Tuberculosis 
  Congress," 
  given 
  

   under 
  the 
  joint 
  auspices 
  of 
  the 
  Committee 
  on 
  the 
  Prevention 
  

   of 
  Tuberculosis 
  of 
  the 
  Charity 
  Organization 
  Society 
  and 
  the 
  

   Board 
  of 
  Health 
  of 
  the 
  City 
  of 
  New 
  York.

  exhibition,
