430  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  { AmiJgustPi8^rm' 
A  session  of  the  Council  will  be  held  at  the  Brown  Palace  Hotel,  on  Wednes- 
day, August  14th,  at  9.30  A.M.,  for  the  purpose  of  arranging  the  business  of 
the  Association  in  compliance  with  Chapter  VI,  Article  6,  of  the  By-laws. 
TRAVELLING  ARRANGEMENTS. 
Particular  attention  is  directed  to  the  following  information  furnished  by  the 
Committee  on  Transportation. 
Rates.—  The  Western,  Southern  and  Central  Passenger  Associations  have 
made  a  rate  of  one  fare  for  the  round  trip  from  all  points  in  their  territories, 
covering  the  entire  section  lying  west  of  a  line  drawn  through  Toronto,  Canada, 
Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  Parkersburg  and  Charlestown,  W.  Va.  East  of  this  line  is  the 
territory  of  the  Trunk  Lines  Association  ;  on  June  nth  they  refused  to  con- 
sider our  application  for  a  rate.  On  June  25th  they  made  us  a  rate  of  one  and 
one-third  fares  for  the  round  trip.  Following  the  favorable  action  of  all  the 
other  passenger  associations,  this  seems  an  extraordinary  procedure,  and  there 
is  reason  to  think  that  in  a  few  days  it  will  be  favorably  reconsidered.  We 
shall  then  have  half  rates  from  practically  every  point  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  It  is  with  regret  the  committee  announce 
their  utter  failure  to  get  any  concessions  for  members  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 
The  Missouri  Pacific  Railroad  has  announced  an  extension  until  September 
1st,  on  the  return  portion  of  tickets  over  their  line.  Other  lines  will  doubtless 
follow  with  similar  announcements,  and  thus  all  visitors  be  enabled  to  enjoy 
the  benefits  of  such  extension. 
ROUTES. 
While  members  are  at  liberty  to  select  whatever  route  they  may  choose,  the 
following  have  been  recommended  by  the  committee  :
