Of the Organization, but excused himself
by saying there would be more time to
read it on the excursion down the Hook
ing Valley. He was excused so readily
that it seemed to us as if the association
was studying its own comfort-possibly
the historian and the association were
under mutual obligations to each other
for the ease with which they reached a.
conclusion. An invitation from the
proprietors of the Put-in-Bay House, at
Putin Bay, to accept their hospitality,
and hold their next session on the Is
land, was tied by the President,
and in due course accepted. On motion
the old officers of the Society were re-
elected for the ensuing year. Aninvita-
ton to visit the idiot asylum at Athens,
next day, was received with favor, al
though some irresponsible genius sug-
gested there was no use to hurry matters
as they would all get there in time. The
weightier matters of business being dis
posed of, it was concluded to adjourn to
the
COLLEGE DINING HALL.
where q sumptuous collation. was
served up, through the courtesy Of the
High Street Railroad Company. On the
way to the Dining Hall we observed
there was considerable attraction down
by the Springs, which are of slightly
mineral character. On the occasion re-
ferred they also partook of spurious
nature occasioned by an admixture from
sundry private glasses. However, every
body turned up straight as a string" il
the Dining Hall, with appetites which
for while threatened to exhaust the
base of supplies. Dinner over, Loomil
was on hand with orders for the cars anC
Sullivant street school. The return TRIP
was without incident, other than lifting
the cars on the track several times, anG
speculating upon the growth of the city
which had almost made Goodale Park {
central location. We reached the Capi
tol in good season, and leaving the car
started for the
