obtained,  while  nearly  eighty  are  liable  to  be  dropped  from  the  roll.  Con- 
sidering the  evident  prosperity  of  pharmacists  in  the  Northwestern  States, 
it  is  surprising  that  so  few  could  be  induced  to  join  the  Association. 
Mr.  John  Ingalls,  of  Macon,  Ga.,  was  elected  President  for  the  ensuing 
year.  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  and  the  second  Tuesday  of  September,  1885,  were 
selected  as  the  place  and  time  for  holding  the  next  annual  meeting. 
Previous  to  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
the  annual  meeting  of  the  National  Retail  Druggists'  Association  was  held. 
The  great  interest  manifested  in  this  meeting  no  doubt  contributed  to  draw 
many  to  Milwaukee  who  otherwise  would  not  have  attended.  This  Asso- 
ciation, organized  only  a  year  ago,  now  numbers  over  2,500  members. 
The  evenings  during  our  stay  in  Milwaukee  were  devoted  to  various 
pleasant  social  entertainments  ;  one  afternoon  wTas  given  to  a  carriage  ride 
around  the  city,  and  on  Friday  afternoon  a  very  pleasant  excursion  on 
Lake  Michigan  took  place. 
During  Friday  afternoon  and  evening  quite  a  large  party  started  for  Kil- 
bourne  City,  from  which  place  a  trip  was  made  by  steamboat  up  the  Wis- 
consin river  through  the  Dells,  returning  to  Kilbourn  by  row-boats.  The 
Dells,  or  as  originally  termed,  the  Dalles  of  the  Wisconsin  river,  extend 
from  about  four  miles  above,  to  about  two  miles  below  Kilbourn  City,  and 
consist  of  a  deep  passage  cut  by  the  river  through  the  soft  sand-rock, 
with  numerous  openings  called  gulches,  canyons,  etc.,  some  of  which  extend 
a  mile  or  two  back  from  the  stream. 
From  Kilbourn  a  number  started  homeward,  but  the  majority  of  the 
party  continued  on  to  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul. 
Respectfully  submitted, 
September  29,  1884.  Alonzo  Robbins,  Chairman. 
Professor  Remington,  on  behalf  of  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members, 
alluded  to  the  death  of  our  fellow  member,  Ambrose  Smith,  but  stated  that 
in  consequence  of  the  shortness  of  time  since  his  death,  the  Committee  had 
not  been  able  to  get  the  important  facts  concerning  his  life  together  for  a 
memorial  notice.  He  hoped,  however,  that  the  Committee  would  be  able 
to  make  a  report  at  the  next  stated  meeting  of  the  College. 
Charles  Bullock,  alluded  to  the  deceased  in  fitting  terms,  and  spoke  of 
his  usefulness  in  the  College  for  many  years ;  acting  as  Treasurer,  and 
otherwise  serving  its  interests. 
The  President  ordered  an  election  for  three  Trustees,  and  a  Committee 
on  Deceased  Members,  this  being  the  time  for  such  action,  and  appointed 
Messrs.  Evan  T.  Ellis  and  Edward  C.  Jones  tellers,  who,  upon  a  ballot, 
reported  the  following  gentlemen  elected : 
Trustees  for  three  years,  term  ending  September,  1887. — Messrs.  Albert  P. 
Brown,  William  B.  Thompson,  Henry  Trimble. 
Committee  on  Deceased  Members. — Messrs.  Charles  Bullock,  Alfred  B. 
Taylor,  Gustavus  Pile. 
Then,  on  motion,  adjourned. 
William  J.  Jenks,  Secretary.
