to  be  present  from  the  St.  Louis  and  the  Philadelphia  Colleges  of 
Pharmacy,  and  from  the  Alumni  of  the  Maryland  College,  but  their 
credentials  were  not  handed  in  until  the  next  morning,  when  also  the 
credentials  of  a  delegation  from  the  Mississippi  State  Pharmaceutical 
Association  were  received.  Two  of  the  associations  were  represented 
by  one  delegate  each,  and  one  by  two  delegates,  while  all  the  others 
had  appointed  a  full  delegation  of  five,  nearly  all  the  delegates  being 
present. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  was  received  and  the  Committee  con- 
tinued. 
|  All  the  members  of  the  Executive  Committee  except  the  Perma- 
nent Secretary  being  absent,  Dr.  S.  S.  Garrigues,  of  East  Saginaw, 
Mich.,  acted  in  the  place  of  the  Committee,  and  reported  the  names 
of  46  applicants  for  membership.  It  was  observed  that  several  ap- 
plicants had  been  vouched  for  by  only  one  member ;  these  cases  were 
recommitted  to  the  acting  Executive  Committee,  and,  additional 
vouchers  having  been  obtained,  the  candidates  were  duly  balloted  for 
and  reported  unanimously  elected,  Messrs.  Jos.  L.  Lemberger,  of 
Lebanon,  Pa.,  and  Alb.  B.  Clark,  jr.,  of  Galesburg,  111.,  having  acted 
as  tellers. 
The  roll  as  amended  by  the  delegations,  and  the  members  elec- 
ted was  again  called,  when  80  members  were  found  to  be  present. 
The  following  Committee  reports  were  received  at  the  first  session  : 
Executive  Committee,  with  the  report  of  the  Permanent  Secretary ; 
Committee  on  the  Drug  Market,  and  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical 
Legislation.  Professor  Moore  reported  verbally  for  the  Committee 
on  the  Liquor  Dealers'  License  of  Apothecaries,  and  stated  that  the 
efforts  of  the  Committee  had  been  unsuccessful,  Congress  at  its  last 
(short)  session  not  having  had  the  time  of  considering  the  propriety 
of  removing  this  onerous  tax  from  pharmacists. 
The  Secretary  read  the  report  of  the  Executive  Committee  and  the 
Permanent  Secretary.  The  Executive  Committee  reported  the  de- 
cease of  the  following  five  members  during  the  past  year,  viz. :  Rob- 
ert J.  Taylor,  of  Newport,  R.  I. ;  William  J.  Watson,  of  Williams- 
burg, N.  Y. ;  James  E.  Bright,  of  Worcester,  Mass. ;  John  C.  Ever- 
son,  of  Philadelphia,  and  Robert  J.  Davies,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 
The  report  of  the  Secretary  suggests  to  procure  some  chemical  and 
technological  journals,  in  addition  to  those  received  at  present,  for
