The  Chicago  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion,— Every  thing  promises  fair  for  an  interesting  meeting  of  the 
Association.  The  information  needed  in  our  last  is  supplied  by  Mr. 
Albert  E.  Ebert,  Chairman  of  the  Reception  Committee,  and  we  have 
copied  it  below.  Knowing  the  advantage  of  co-operation  in  getting 
a  reduction  in  railroad  fare  to  members  on  these  annual  occasions,  Mr. 
William  Wright,  of  New  York,  has  interested  himself  in  the  matter;  and 
by  a  circular  gives  the  information  that  an  arrangement  has  been  made 
with  the  Erie  and  Lake  Shore  Railroads  by  which  members  will  be  taken 
to  Chicago,  via  Buffalo,  leaving  New  York  on  Saturday  morning  the 
4th  inst.  at  o'clock,  reaching  Buffalo  that  night ;  stopping  over  till 
Monday  morning,  so  that  an  opportunity  will  be  afforded  to  visit  Niagara 
Falls  on  Sunday  ;  and  arriving  in  Chicago  Tuesday  about  6  P.  M.  The 
tickets  for  the  excursion  to  and  from  Chicago,  good  to  the  28th  of  Sept., 
cost  25  dollars  each  person.  Those  desiring  to  take  part  in  it  are  re- 
quested to  address  Mr  Wm.  Wright  at  once,  enclosing  $5,  and  paying 
balance  at  the  time  of  starting.  So  far  as  we  have  been  informed  the 
prospect  of  a  numerous  attendance  from  the  Eastward  is  favorable.
