SOUTH SUBURBAN CHEMISTS’ ASSOCIATION. 
The Annual meeting of the South Suburban Chemists’ 
Association was held at the Royal George Hotel, Prahran, on 
Tuesday, December 7th. The principal business was the 
election of officers which resulted in Mr. Witt being chosen 
for the office of President, and Mr. Dalton for that^of Vice- 
President, while Mr. Chamberlin was re-appointed to the com- 
bined offices of Secretary and Treasurer. A telegram was handed 
in from Mr. Shillinglaw announcing that the Board had gained 
a verdict against the Equitable Co-operative Society, and after 
some unimportant business had been hurried through, the 
meeting adjourned to an adjoining room where the table was 
laid for the annual dinner. The company seated at the table 
was rather less numerous than usual, for which the inclemency 
of the weather was doubtless responsible, but they made up in 
enthusiasm what they lacked m numbers. The members of 
this association are always cordial, but the good news they 
had received in the earlier part of the evening caused them to 
overflow with good humor and there was a general ten 1<^ncy to 
hand-shaking and an evident determination on the part of 
each to enjoy himself and to make his neighbours do tne same, 
and, judging from appearances, their efforts were attended 
with perfect success. 
The toast-list included “The Queen,” by the President; 
“Federation of the Pharmacists of Australasia,” by Mr. 
Chamberlin; “The Visitors,” “The President,” and “Success 
to the S.S.C.A.” Music, Singing and Recitation was freely 
indulged in between the toasts, all the items being excellently 
rendered. During a i^ause in this entertainment it was inti- 
mated to members that the Pharmaceutical Council had 
matured a plan for the formation of a Victorian Trade Protec- 
tion Society, and, at the request of Mr. Corinaldi, who called 
for a show of hands, it was unanimously resolved to sui^port 
the movement by every means in the power of the Association.

Mr. Rowley’s Shop Windows. — An accident, caused by two 
runaway horses in Bourke-street in April last, formed the 
subject of an action in the Second Nisi Prius Court yesterday, 
before Mr. Justice Williams and a special jury of six. The 
plaintiff was Walter M. Rowley, who carries on business as 
a chemist opposite the Town Hall, and who claimed £407 as 
compensation for the damage he had sustained, owing to bis 
windows being smashed, and a large quantity of his stock-in- 
trade and fittings destroyed by a pair of horses, owned by the 
defendants, Smart, Fehon, & Co., which had bolted down 
Bourke-street, and dashed against the front of the shop. The 
defence was that the vehicle and horses were being driven by 
persons who were not the servants of the defendants, and 
that, therefore, they were not liable. The jury, after being 
locked up for six hours, were unable to agree upon their 
verdict, and were accordingly discharged. 
Mr. Thos. Huntsman is about to open a new branch in 
Lygon-street, North Carlton. 
Mr. McGowan, late of South Melbourne, has just opened a 
new shop in Lygon-street, North Carlton. 
Mr. Jas. Brinsmead, of St. Kilda, is removing his branch 
business from Balaclava to Elsternwick, where it will be 
under the management of Mr. W. T. Brown, late of 127, 
Queensberry-street, Hotham. 
Fire at Felton Grimwade’s Factory. — A serious fire broke 
out on Sunday, December 26, in the phosphorus store at 
Messrs. Felton Grimwade and Co.’s chemical works, Inglis- 
street, Port Melbourne. No water was available, and if it had 
been the road was in such a bad condition that the engine 
sank to the axles in sand. The store, which was detached, 
was entirely destroyed, but the fire did not extend to other 
buildings. The damage is estimated at £400.
