Entertainment  Features. 
The  entertainment  provided  by  the  local  committee  of  arrange- 
ments under  William  L.  ClifTe  as  chairman,  was  a  feature  which 
perhaps  as  much  as  any  other  distinguished  this  meeting  from  the 
one  held  fifty  years  ago.  In  a  great  city  like  Philadelphia  there  is 
much  to  instruct  as  well  as  entertain,  and  every  opportunity  was 
afforded  to  the  members  and  their  friends  of  visiting  the  various 
points  of  interest.  On  Monday  evening  a  reception  to  the  members 
and  their  ladies  was  held  at  Horticultural  Hall.  A  drive  on  Wed- 
nesday afternoon  through  Fairmount  Park  along  the  banks  of  the 
Schuylkill  and  Wissahickon  to  Chestnut  Hill  and  return  by  trolley, 
and  vice  versa,  was  especially  enjoyable,  a  complete  itinerary  of  the 
trip  having  been  published  for  the  use  of  the  visitors.  On  Thurs- 
day evening,  while  the  members  and  their  guests,  some  500  in 
number,  were  enjoying  themselves  at  the  Jubilee  Banquet,  the 
ladies  were  entertained  at  the  Chestnut  Street  Theatre,  where  the 
play  "  The  Defender  "  was  being  presented,  after  which  luncheon 
was  served  at  Horticultural  Hall. 
On  Friday  afternoon  the  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Drug- 
gists acted  as  hosts,  and  those  in  attendance  were  taken  on  a  steam- 
boat excursion  along  the  Delaware  river.  Luncheon  was  served  on 
board  the  boat  and  music  and  dancing  were  features  of  the  enter- 
tainment. On  Saturday  afternoon  there  was  an  excursion  to 
Atlantic  City,  where  entertainment  was  furnished  by  the  local 
druggists. 
College  Reunions. 
The  opportunity  afforded  by  the  meeting  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  for  the  reunion  of  the  alumni  of  the  colleges 
was  taken  advantage  of,  notably  by  the  alumni  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  and  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of 
New  York. 
The  resident  graduates  of  the  former  tendered  an  informal  supper 
to  the  visiting  graduates,  nearly  150  in  all  being  present.  The  occa- 
sion was  an  especially  interesting  one,  nearly  all  the  classes  since 
1842  being  represented.  Wm.  J.  Jenks,  of  the  Class  of  1842,  and 
Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  of  the  Class  of  1844,  were  among  the  earliest 
graduates  represented.
