that the other library come to them. On the
other hand the Public Library committee in
vited the other committee to inspect their
library rooms and then asked that the Mercar-
tile come to them and make library of some
$4,000 volumes. Both parties were in favor of
consolidating the two libraries but each thought
they had the best quarters for the library. No
definite action was taken, but the Mercantile
committee will report to the association at the
meeting Saturday night, when it is expected a
special committee will be appointed to take
active steps towards consolidation. They
want the Pablo Library to make them an offer,
but it is understood that the offer must come
from the other side.
By the act of the Legislature which CONSOLE
dated The Portland Athen@um and the Public
Library the city has authority to take posses
sion of the library any time it chooses to vote
to do SO, and it then becomes a free library
This is what the officers of the library want the
city to do. but it will not for the reason that it
would he too expensive. If the officials are
obliged to run the library they very naturally
want an appropriation to keep it up.

COMMISSIONERS OF PHARMACY.-The Com
missioners of Pharmacy met according to pre-
vious notice given, at the Common Council
room, in the City Building, at 9 a. m. yester-
day. Of the eleven candidates notified four ap-
peared before the board, two of whom success
fully passed the examination; three others have
the privilege of examination Guring the inter
val before the next meeting at any time they
may elect and from the rest no word has been
received. The queries proposed in the case of
successful candidates took somewhat wider
range than they have hitherto done, and the
result was highly satisfactory. 1t is the inten
ton Of the board gradually to increase the re-
quirements for successfully passing the exam
nations, both as to the amount and accuracy
of the knowledge, and the precision of idea and
expression. The commissioners intend to give
hereafter particulars through the pa
pers 10 the state, and explain more definitely
what they will require of those who hope to OBJ.
tain their certificate The examinations hth-
erto have proved no boys play to those who
have been subjected to them, although the OBJ
ject of the examination has not bsen to puzzle
the applicants for registration, but merely to
test their knowledge. Thus far the questions
proposed have been of very elementary char
acter, but now some theoretical as well as prac-
tical knowledge will be demanded. and those
who hope to succeed will do we'll to stow away
in their memories generous share of Attfield
and Parrish, not neglecting the Pharmacopaia
and Dispensatory.
