different aims, as Saratoga Springs. Sociil.
scientific, educational, agricultural, athletic
and religious associations are equally at home

held IN some city further West and that
proposition to hold uiennial instead of ben
NAL sessions Will be discussed.

cause of this fury indeed 1t Is not minated
