and those requiring table space against the 
wall will be placed in the Exhibition Hall. 
As the floor of this hall is polished, heavy 
implements should have boards be¬ 
neath. 
To secure these extraordinary accommo¬ 
dations we have been obliged to guarantee 
the hotel management $150 per day, a part 
of which will be paid by the local commit¬ 
tee, and part by the exhibitors. A goodly 
number have already applied for space so 
that the expense to the exhibitors will not 
be a large item. 
Indications point to a very large attend¬ 
ance at the Boston meeting, and those who 
have exhibits, will no doubt reap good 
results. 
Please address all communications, stat¬ 
ing the nature of your exhibit, to the 
undersigned, at Lexing¬ 
ton,- Mass. 
Packages containing 
goods for exhibit should 
be sent as far as possible, 
by express, prepaid, to 
A. E. Robinson, Hotel 
Somerset, Boston, Mass. 
Yours very truly, 
A. E. Robinson, 
Chairman.
