American  Pharmaceutical  Association. — The  twenty-seventh  meeting  promises 
to  be  very  largely  attended,  more  particularly  from  the  West  and  South.  Mr.  Eli 
Lilly,  the  Local  Secretary,  is  still  negotiating  with  some  of  the  Western  railroads, 
and  may  perhaps  make  some  arrangements  in  addition  to  those  effected  by  the  time 
we  are  going  to  press.  Besides  the  tickets  which  are  issued  at  reduced  rates  via 
Missouri,  Kansas  &  Texas  Railroad,  upon  certificate  from  L  Myers  Connor,  Dallas, 
Texas,  the  following  reductions  have  been  secured,  which  have  been  partly  reported 
before  : 
Full  fare  one  njoay  and  return  free  on  certificate  of  Local  Secretary  :  St.  Louis,  Van- 
dalia,  Terre  Haute  &  Indianapolis  Railroad  ( Vandalia  line)  ;  Indianapolis  &  St  Louis 
Railroad;  Evansville  &  Terre  Haute  Railroad  ;  Lowsville  &  Indianapolis  Railroad  ; 
South  Carolina  Railroad  (Charleston  &  Augusta). 
Full  fare  one  <way  and  return  on  certificate  of  Local  Secretary  at  one-third  fare :  C. 
C.  C  &  I.  Railroad  (Bee  Line);  Cincinnati,  Hamilton  &  Indianapolis  Railroad; 
Louisville  &  Great  Southern  Railroad;  Louisville,  Cincinnati  &  Lexington  Railroad. 
Round  trip  tickets  to  be  obtained  only  upon  previous  application  to  and  order  from 
Local  Secretary:  Canada  Southern  Railroad  ;  Grand  Trunk  Railway  of  Canada,  and 
Indianapolis,  Peru  &  Chicago  Railroad,  one  and  one-third  fare. 
Pittsburgh,  Cincinnati  &  St.  Louis  Railroad  (Panhandle),  and  Indianapolis, 
Bloomington  &  Western  Railroad,  4  cents  per  mile  one  way. 
Georgia  Railroad  (Augusta  &  Atlanta),  Central  Georgia  Railroad  (Savannah  & 
Atlanta),  Mobile  &  Montgomery  Railroad,  Wabash  Railroad  (Toledo  &  Indianap- 
olis), and  Indianapolis,  Cincinnati  &  LaFayette  Railroad,  one  and  one-fifth  fare. 
The  reduction  previously  promised  for  the  Eastern  members  has  been  withdrawn 
in  consequence  of  the  objections  raised  by  other  great  trunk  lines.  The  members 
from  New  England,  Northern  New  York  and  Canada  have  reduced  fares  by  the 
Canada  lines  and  by  the  Wabash  Railroad,  or  Bee  Line  -via  Toledo  or  Cleveland  to 
Indianapolis;  and  the  members  from  South  Carolina  and  Georgia  have  the  same 
advantage  via  Augusta,  Atlanta  and  Louisville.  The  members  from  the  eastern 
section  of  the  Middle  States  will  have  to  pay  full  fare  at  least  as  far  as  Pittsburg; 
however,  by  purchasing  tickets  to  Indianapolis,  good  for  four  days,  a  reduction  of 
about  8  per  cent,  will  be  secured',  equal  in  amount  to  the  abatement  of  fare  between 
Pittsburg  and  Indianapolis,  and  leaving  the  return  trip  to  be  made  by  a  different 
route  if  desired.  Several  members  have  signified  their  intention  of  returning  by 
way  of  Oil  City,  Niagara  Falls,  Watkins1  Glen  or  Delaware  Water  Gap;  they  may 
obtain  excursion  tickets,  <via  Pittsburg,  from  various  points  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad.  Other  members  intend  extending  their  trip  to  Chicago,  St.  Louis  or  Cin- 
cinnati. All  those  going  by  way  of  Pittsburg  are  requested  to  rendezvous  there  on 
Saturday  (Sept.  6th)  evening  or  Sunday  morning,  at  the  Seventh  Avenue  Hotel, 
where  accommodations  have  been  secured  at  $2,  or  with  special  conveniences  at 
$2.50  per  day.  The  party  will  leave  Pittsburg  on  Monday  morning  at  8.30,  and. 
.reach  Indianapolis  the  same  evening  at  11  o'clock.
