MINUTES  or  THE 
Mr.  Colcord  approved  the  resolution. 
Dr.  Squibb  heartily  approved  of  the  resolution,  and  hoped  the  Asso- 
ciation would  give  its  voice  in  favor  of  it.  We  don't  want  to  avoid  social 
intercourse.  If  our  friends  in  Baltimore  should  meet  us  in  the  evening 
at  our  hotel  and  give  us  the  hand  of  welcome  without  an  eutertaioment, 
and  in  the  intervals  of  the  meeting  let  ns  do  as  we  please  in  the  employ- 
ment of  our  time,  they  would  tkus  extend  the  best  kind  of  hospitality  to 
us.  When  so  much  pains  are  taken  by  our  friends  we  feel  averse  to 
absent  ourselves,  even  though  a  headache  or  other  reason  for  absence 
may  occur.  He  thought  the  sense  of  the  Association  was  against  these 
demonstrations  of  hospitality,  and  a  proper  expression  of  it  in  this  full 
meeting  would  have  its  effect. 
Mr.  Shinn  approved  the  remarks  of  Dr.  Squibb. 
Mr.  Procter  wished  to  say  that  an  admirable  way  of  showing  kind 
feeling  at  the  places  of  meeting  was  to  facilitate  the  wishes  of  visiting 
members  to  see  the  places  visited  by  giving  printed  information  in  small 
compass  with  a  cheap  map  of  the  place.  Then  each  member  can  direct 
his  own  steps. 
The  resolution  was  then  adopted  without  dissent. 
Mr.  Shuej  offered  the  following  : 
Resolved,  That  our  warmest  thanks  are  due  to  the  Reception  Commit- 
tee and  Local  Secretary  of  this  meeting  of  the  Association  for  their  cor- 
dial and  hearty  endeavors  to  receive  and  entertain  our  Association.  That 
in  Chicago  we  have  met  a  whole-souled,  large-hearted  and  open-handed 
people,  and  we  will  leave  this  place  with  feelings  of  regret. 
The  question  was  put  bj  Mr.  Tufts,  and  the  resolution  adopted. 
Queries  26  and  29  being  called  for,  Mr.  Llewellyn  of  New 
Mexico,  in  a  note  to  Mr.  Procter,  said  he  was  unable,  from  cir- 
cumstances arising  out  of  his  removal  to  that  place,  to  answer 
the  queries  given  to  him. 
Dr.  Garrigues  read  a  paper  on  Saginaw  Valley  Salt,  which 
was  accepted  and  referred  for  publication.  The  paper  was  il- 
lustrated by  specimens  of  the  Saginaw  salt.
