Members arrived at the Cataract House, the headquarters of 
the convention the day before the opening date, and thereafter 
every train, almost up to the time of the adjournment, brought 
more. The attendance was unusually large and representa¬ 
tive. An attempt was made to prepare a list of those who 
were present. In the absence of an Association register, the 
hotel registers were depended upon as a basis for the follow¬ 
ing list, but it is known that the list is not complete.
