After meeting at the Dr's rendez-

members all adjourned to Sontag's
ladies parlor where we found a sump-
tuous repast of raspberries and ice
After each one had ensconc-
ed himself In a good place for doing
to the occasion, it was found
the corpse was absent and we
could not go on with the wake.
Being the only boy present we were
sent off after DIR. Lee. We simply
said raspberries and he came.
We will be compelled in our limit
ed space to give merely the pro-
gramme of the eve.
Dir. RoTHwELL,
made the Introductory re-
marks. DIR. r.. explained the object
Of the meeting and paid his tribute of
respect to DIR. Lee by saying that he
was the most honored and loved of
his profession i'm Mexico.
The sentiment thrown in to the form
of a toast. "PiOneer practice in
Audrain'' was responded to by
DIR. lei
in q very graphic and pleasing man.
ner. He told several very interest
ing anecdotes which must be heard to
be enjoyed properly.
DIR. ;. n. RUSSELL
responded to the toast, modern prac.
tice, and he drew Il very fine line OF
contrast between practice in 1880 and
1877. DIR. Russell said very earnest
ly that the principals were the same
and that the only way in which we
succeeded better now was that we
gave due and undivided attention to
profession.
The toast to ''The Press" was re,
sponded to by
PROF. n. NJ. HAMIIL n II. NJ. WHITE,
Prof H~.~IL~-~hs oaIaG' UUth pro-
fessions we're dependent ON each 9th,
er. The Prof. has a very smooth and
pleasant way of making his remarks,
quite enviable.
PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS" BY W. o.
FORREST
next followed on the programme. w.
o. Forrest, as usual, handled the
subject in that earnest and confident
manner, peculiar to himself. The
Judge takes no stock in popular IA
lie says the most successful
men are never known until after their
death, if at all. He said, to succeed
we must concentrate all our energies
on n profession, and forget all else
IN II zeal to excel in this.
DIR. Lee made a very feeling speech
in reply to the complimentary re-
marks and resolutions offered. He
assured those present that this occa-
sion should De a green spot in his
memory, and though he might be
absent in body he would be present
iu mind, always with his friends in
Mexico.
We think these gatherings are
grand and noble expressions of the
kind sentiments felt and the feelings
existing between the profession in
Mexico. These entertainments tend
to refine, ennoble and elevate the
profession in our midst, and should
be looked upon in their true light.
Those present were disappointed at
not enjoying some remarks from DIR.
who left in the early part of
evening.
DIR. Lanius then read the fol-
resolutions, which, after COM
remarks by Drs. Lanius,
Luckie, Humphrey, Reed,
.r. Llewelly and Judge Forest, were
'rdered printed i'm the papers in this
.ity and Montgomery county, whittier
