Chemist, on the correctness of the above analy-
SIS. There is one other matter st ited in their
published proceedings, on which we would like
to have some further light and lntcrmat.or.-
They state that "Mr. Reynolds cntcrta.li'd the
meeting with has usual happy and convHcn ns
arguments This took place alter the resOiu-
tions of the business committee were consider
cd and acted On ard this meeting, remember,
was held at the fountain. Does II mean that
Mr. Reynolds was harry while delivering his
convincing arguments CT was the arg ument
happy or was the audience in hGppy mCod
at that time, to take CONTRACTING argument,
or were all happy! | have rlao OF harmonious
