announce  that  the  Twenty-sixth  Annual  Meeting  has  been  POSTPONED  until, 
some  time  in  November. 
"  From  all  the  information  in  their  possession  the  Executive  Committee  are  still 
of  the  opinion  that,  at  the  time  originally  fixed  for  the  meeting,  Atlanta,  Ga., 
would  be  as  safe  a  place  to  visit  as  could  well  be  selected.  However,  the  spreading, 
of  yellow  fever  in  the  Mississippi  Valley  will  keep  many  pharmaceutists  at  their  posts, 
not  only  in  the  infected  districts,  but  likewise  in  more  distant  localities;  and  an 
unnecessary  alarm  spread  further  North  would  very  materially  reduce  the  number 
of  visitors  from  that  section.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  of  paramount  importance 
that  the  meeting  at  Atlanta  be  well  attended  from  Georgia  and  the  neighboring 
States,  as  well  as  from  those  East  and  West. 
"  As  soon  as  the  necessary  arrangements  can  be  completed,  the  precise  time  at 
which  the  meeting  will  be  held,  will  be  announced  by  the  President;  and  in  due 
time  the  Secretary  will  issue  notices,  giving  particulars.  Members  intending  to 
attend  the  meeting  will  oblige  the  Secretary  by  notifying  him. 
"  G.  W.  Kennedy,  Chairman  Ex.  Committee ;  Pottsville,  Pa. 
"John  M.  Maisch,  Permanent  Secretary,  145  North  10th  St.,  Phila." 
This  is  the  second  time  in  the  history  of  the  Association  that  such  a  course  has 
been  deemed  necessary.  The  cause  which  led  to  the  postponement,  for  a  whole 
year,  of  the  meeting  which  was  to  be  held  in  1861,  will,  we  trust,  never  again  make 
itself  felt;  the  cause  for  this  year's  postponement  may  again  occur;  and  we  think  it 
is  mainly  the  fear  of  climatic  diseases,  prevailing  at  the  time  when  the  meetings  of 
the  Association  have  been  held,  which  has  deterred  the  members  from  meeting,  ere 
now,  as  far  south.  There  can  be  .no  question  that  the  time  has  arrived  when  it 
would  be  good  policy  for  the  Association  to  extend  its  influence  beyond  the 
localities  where  it  has  been  wont  to  meet ;  and  the  apparent  difficulties  which  have 
hitherto  operated  against  holding  meetings  at  such  places  are  by  no  means  insur- 
mountable. We  are  pleased  to  state  that  quite  a  number  of  members  have  already 
notified  the  Secretary  of  their  intention  of  going  to  Atlanta. 
New  York  College  of  Pharmacy.— The  building  purchased  by  this  institution, 
as  we  announced  in  our  March  number  (p.  140),  has  been  completely  renovated, 
and  is  ready  for  the  accommodation  of  the  class  at  the  ensuing  lecture  term.  It  is 
located  at  209  and  211  East  Twenty-third  street,  and  contains  a  handsome  and  large 
lecture  room  and  a  well-fitted  laboratory,  more  roomy  and  convenient  than  the 
former  one. 
The  Maine  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  its  annual  meeting  July  21st,  in 
the  city  of  Portland.  About  noon  the  entire  company  marched  from  Reception 
Hall  to  Portland  Pier  and  embarked  on  the  steamer  Meta  for  Harpswell,  where  they 
took  dinner,  and,  after  a  number  of  toasts  had  been  responded  to,  enjoyed  them- 
selves until  late  in  the  afternoon,  when  they  returned  to  the  city,  where  the  meeting 
was  held  in  the  evening,  Vice-President  A.  G.  Schlotterbeck  presiding,  in  the 
absence  of  President  Partridge.  New  members  were  elected,  the  various  officers 
and  committees  made  their  reports,  and  the  following  officers  were  elected  to  serve 
for  the  ensuing  year:  President,  C.  A.  White,  Gardiner;  Vice-President,  E. 
Dana,  Jr.,  Portland ;  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  Edward  Merrill,  Rockland ; 
Auditor,  S.  Anderson,  Jr.,  Bath.
