After  the  election  of  new  members,  Messrs.  Remington  and  Ken- 
nedy acting  as  tellers,  the  Business  Committee  offered  the  following  : 
The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  is  now  about  to  close  its  twenty- 
first  annual  session  in  the  capital  of  the  Old  Dominion.  Some  hesitation  was 
felt  at  the  last  meeting  in  deciding  on  this  place,  but  the  success  of  our 
experiment  at  Cleveland  induced  us  to  repeat  it.  The  kind  courtesy  and 
generosity  of  our  reception,  the  unbounded  old  Virginia  hospitality  of  the 
pharmaceutists  and  citizens  of  Richmond  and  the  beautifully  appropriate  wel- 
come of  His  Honor,  the  Mayor  of  this  city,  has  dispelled  every  doubt  of  the 
propriety  of  our  selection.  Nothing  has  been  left  undone  that  could  add  to 
our  comfort  and  pleasure,  and  when  we  leave  this  place  to  return  to  our  homea 
we  shall  carry  with  us  pleasant  recollections  of  this  visit  which  will  not  soon 
be  effaced  from  our  memory.  As  a  faint  expression  of  our  warm  appreciation 
of  the  kindness  shown  us.  be  it 
Resolved,  That  the  hearty  thanks  of  this  Association  be  and  are  hereby  ten- 
dered to  the  pharmaceutists  and  citizens  of  Richmond  for  the  cordiality  of  our 
reception  at  this  our  first  visit  to  the  "  Sunny  South." 
President  Hancock  arose  and  in  a  few  appropriate  and  well-timed 
remarks  bore  testimony  to  the  warmth  of  the  reception  of  the  Asso- 
ciation at  the  hands  of  the  pharmaceutists  and  citizens  of  this  city. 
He  said  that  they  had  never  met  with  a  heartier  reception  anywhere. 
He  indulged  the  hope  that  at  their  next  meeting,  in  Louisville,  repre- 
sentatives would  be  present  from  the  Virginia  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation. 
Thanks  were  also  tendered  the  Richmond  press  for  their  faithful 
reports  of  its  proceedings,  after  which  the  Secretary,  at  12J  o'clock, 
offered  a  resolution,  which  was  adopted,  that  the  Association  do  now 
adjourn  to  meet  on  the  second  Tuesday  in  September  next,  at  3 
o'clock  P.  M.,  at  Louisville,  Ky.
