The Confeeence Committee. 
Mr. Potts moved, and Mr. Pond seconded, the following resolution, which 
was unanimously agreed to : — 
“ That the hearty thanks of this Conference be given to the local Conference 
Committee, the Victoria Pharmacy Board, and the Pharmaceutical Society of 
Australasia for their successful and admirable efforts in organising this the first 
Intercolonial Pharmaceutical Conference, and for the liberal hospitality extended 
to the delegates from the other colonies.” 
In returning thanks, Mr. Blackett said they had had to work under somewhat 
adverse circumstances, owing to the absence of Mr. Bowen, President of the 
Pharmaceutical Society, also of Mr. Bosisto, both of whom were absent in 
England. He felt proud of the results of the Conference. 
Me. Shillinglaw. 
Mr. Pond, in moving — 
“ That the best thanks of this Conference be given to Mr. Harry Shillinglaw 
for the untiring zeal and ability he has displayed in the performance of his duties 
as honorary secretary to this Conference, and for his uniform kindness and 
courtesy — ” 
said he could not speak in terms of too high praise of Mr. Shillinglaw, who was 
always ready to oblige any colony or any pharmacist, and to perform any act 
of kindness in his power. 
Mr. Melhuish, in seconding the motion, said that in Mr. Shillinglaw they 
had the right man in the right place. 
Mr. Shillinglaw said he was pleased to find that his efforts had been appreciated, 
and he hoped at the next Conference to see the secretaries of all the societies 
present. He would always be happy in promoting matters connected with pharmacy. 
Me. Faiethoene. 
Mr. Bozon moved, and Mr. Mayne seconded — 
“ That the warmest thanks are due and are hereby tendered to Mr. Fairthorne, 
President of this Conference, for the courteous and very able manner in which 
he has conducted the business.” 
Mr. Fairthorne replied in feeling terms, and hoped their work would meet 
with general approval and result in practical benefits. 
Peesentation. 
The President, turning in Mr. Blackett’s direction, then said — I have now 
much pleasure, on behalf of the delegates, in presenting Mr. Blackett, as repre- 
senting the Pharmaceutical Society of Australasia, with the sum of £10 for the 
purpose of purchasing books for the use of that society, Messrs. Blackett, 
Shillinglaw, Jackson, and Potts to be the committee for making the selection. 
Mr. Blackett, in acknowledgment, said— I may say, on behalf of the 
Pharmaceutical Society of Australasia, that this gift will be received with great 
pleasure. We shall take care that it shall be spent in such a way as to be a 
perpetual memorial of the attendance of the delegates from the other colonies 
at the first Intercolonial Pharmaceutical Conference. 
This closed the proceedings.
