PROVINCIAL TRANSACTIONS. 
BBADFOBD CHEMISTS’ ASSOCIATION. 
A quarterly meeting of the Members of the above Association was held in the Free¬ 
masons’ Rooms, Salem Square, on Friday evening, the 6th of August, 
The attendance, from some unassignable reason, was very meagre. 
In the absence of the President, the chair was taken by the Vice-President, Mr. F. M. 
Rimmington, at whose request the Secretary, Mr. H. G. Rogerson, read a letter he had 
received from one of the secretaries of the British Pharmaceutical Conference, Mr. 
Reynolds, of Leeds, inviting the Association to nominate delegates to represent it at the- 
ensuing Conference; more especially urging the important subject of pharmaceutical 
education which would be considered on that occasion, and the desirability of learning 
the opinions of gentlemen knowing the requirements of particular districts. 
Mr. J. Hick proposed, and Mr. Francis Bell seconded, that Mr. Rimmington repre¬ 
sent the Bradford Chemists’ Association at the ensuing Conference. 
On the motion being carried, Mr. Rimmington assented to his appointment as delegate 
of the Society. 
The Secretary produced a very compact and neatly-fitted cabinet of 200 specimens of 
articles of materia medica, etc., the gift to the Society of Messrs. Evans, Sons, and 
Co., of Liverpool, to whom the thanks of the meeting, after being proposed by Mr. 
Hicks and seconded by Mr. Newsholme, were unanimously accorded. 
LIVERPOOL CHEMISTS’ ASSOCIATION. 
On the 27th of July an excursion to Chester was organized by the members of this 
Association. At Chester the party inspected the lead works of Messrs. Walker, Parker, 
and Co.; the processes of making shot, white lead, and lead-piping were examined with 
interest. In the granulation of lead for shot, about 2 per cent, of arsenic is added. The 
compound, when heated red-hot for three hours, is allowed to fall into a reservoir of 
water from a height of 10 to 150 feet, according to the size of the shot required. After 
luncheon the party proceeded up the river Dee to Eaton Hall, and on their return sat 
down to an excellent dinner. The President of the Association, Mr. Robinson, officiated 
as chairman. After the usual toasts the party returned to Liverpool, having enjoyed a 
most delightful trip. 
THE LEICESTER CHEMISTS’ ASSISTANTS’ AND APPRENTICES’ 
ASSOCIATION. 
The half-yearly meeeting of the members of the above Society was held in the rooms 
of the Association on Thursday, the 5th ultimo; Mr. H. Cooper, Vice-President, in the 
chair. 
The official report of the committee was read by the Honorary Secretary (Mr. W. B. 
Clark), showing the very satisfactory balance in the hands of the Treasurer. 
The thanks of the committee having been tendered to the readers of the various 
weekly papers, and to the lecturers of their respective classes for their disinterested ser¬ 
vices, the following gentlemen were then duly elected as the committee for the ensuing 
half-year:—Mr. Jos. Young, President; Mr. H. Cooper, Vice-President; Mr. W. B. 
Clarke, Honorary-Secretary; Messrs. Blunt, Butler, Miller, and Smith.
