School.  Some  of  the  party  visited  the  U.  S.  S.  "New  York,"  and  after 
luncheon,  which  was  had  at  the  beautiful  Hotel  Chamberlin,  the  ladies  were 
given  a  sail  by  Commodore  Emmerson,  of  Baltimore,  on  his  yacht  "Nydia." 
On  returning  in  the  evening,  Polk  Miller,  assisted  by  about  a  dozen  negroes, 
gave  an  entertainment  at  the  hotel.  A  trolley  ride  was  taken  on  Friday  after- 
noon, and  in  the  evening,  Prof.  Win,  Simon,  of  Baltimore,  gave  an  instructive 
address  on  "Wireless  Telegraphy."  The  speaker  demonstrated  the  principles 
of  this  system  of  telegraphy  and  gave  a  short  resume  of  its  history.  Thus  came 
to  a  close  a  series  of  entertainments  which,  interspersed  with  the  business  ses- 
sions, will  long  make  the  Richmond  meeting  of  1900  a  memorable  one.

In  the  report  of  the  editor  of  the  Journal  it  was  stated,  among  other  things, 
that  the  primary  object  had  in  view  during  the  past  year  had  been  to  make  the

chemical  or  botanical  in  character.

volumes  and  thirty  unbound  volumes,  besides  the  various  exchanges,  during

isms from  the  H.  K.  Mulford  Co.;  a  collection  of  synthetic  chemicals  from  the 
Elberfield  Co.,  and  a  valuable  and  instructive  collection  of  opiums  from  Gilpin, 
Langdon  &  Co.  The  report  stated  that  the  cabinet  of  official  drugs  and 
preparations  that  was  placed  in  the  reading  room  last  fall  was  the  first  of  its 
kind  in  any  pharmaceutical  college ;  that  it  was  constantly  used"  by  the 
students,  who  appreciated  it  highly,  and  to  whom  it  had  proved  of  great 
benefit.  The  work  of  the  instructors  in  preparing  and  arranging  the  speci- 
mens was  commended.
