will be an illuminated trolley ride from the Brooklyn Bridge to 
Coney Island, late in the afternoon of the first day, so that it 
will not interfere with the work of the convention. The route 
to the sea lies through a very pretty section of Brooklyn, 
through beautiful suburban villages and parks, and by seaside 
resorts. At the destination a shore dinner will be served at the 
Albemarle Hotel, West End, Coney Island, and those who have 
never enjoyed such a repast should not fail to add this to their 
list of pleasant experiences in this life. When this has been 
accomplished, the members will be turned loose in the “ Bow¬ 
ery,” where the sights of that historic donnybrook may be 
observed until the hour for the start back to New York. 
It is confidently expected that there will be the largest out¬ 
pouring of members that has ever occurred, and as every arrange¬ 
ment justifies it, it should be the banner meeting of the State 
Society. __.
