Meeting  of  the  Association. — The  8th  of  September  is  near  at  hand, 
and  we  look  forward  to  a  large  gathering  of  the  brethren  in  Pharmacy.. 
There  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  Hall  can  be  used  for  the  pur- 
poses of  the  Convention.  Let  all  come  that  can,  and  bring  with  them 
papers  and  subjects  for  discussion,  and  objects  of  interest  for  the  exhi- 
bition. Those  that  can't  come  let  them  send  a  contribution  in  the  form 
of  papers  or  objects  relating  to  pharmacy,  so  that  we  may  have  a  good 
meeting,  interesting  to  those  present,  and  useful  through  the  published 
proceedings  to  those  who  remain  at  home.  It  is  the  earnest  wish  of  our 
College  Members  that  all  who  get  here  may  enjoy  the  visit  and  return 
home  safely,  profited  by  the  occasion. 
New  Hall  of  Pharmacy. — Since  our  July  issue,  now  about  six 
weeks,  very  rapid  progress  has  been  made  with  the  new  Hall  of  the 
College  of  Pharmacy,  and  the  lower  rooms  will  be  sufficiently  completed 
in  time  to  serve  the  purposes  of  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  on  the  8th  of  September.  The  Committee  have 
urged  on  the  work  through  the  contractor,  who  has  been  indefatigable  in 
his  duties,  and  so  far  the  weather  has  proved  favorable.  The  Committee 
now  feel  the  necessity  of  a  more  earnest  action  of  the  friends  of  the 
College  at  home  and  beyond  our  city  in  relation  to  the  funds  necessary 
to  complete  the  building.  The  sale  of  the  old  building  on  Zane  Street, 
though  far  short  of  the  amount  required,  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
Committee  a  sum  sufficient  to  encourage  the  hope  that  the  deficiency 
could  be  supplied  by  the  contributions  of  those  interested  in  the  profes- 
sion and  practice  oi  Pharmacy,  and  its  kindred  pursuits.    The  readers
