This Convention commenced its spring ses-
sion at Chicago on Wednesday last. The
spring session of the National General Ticket
Agents Convention is held, under the rule,
in April, but this having been an unusually
mild winter, giving prospect of an early
opening of navigation, the Ticket Agents of
Chicago, who were appointed at the last Con-
VentiOn as Business Committee, to arrange
a schedule Of business for the action of the
spring meeting at Chicago, urged upon the
President the importance Of calling the Con-
Eention al an earlier day this season. Hence

present special meeting, to take the place Of
