THE DOCTORS.
A GOOD TINE AT TELLS HAHN.

Relaxation from Professional Garcia Friend
Iy Social Gathering.
Notwithstanding the lowering clouds
the meeting of physicians from Lancaster
and neighboring counties held at Tells
Hahn near this city to-day is largely at
tended, and all the indie ations point to
pleasant day. Just one year ago the
meeting corresponding to this was held at
NcCalrs Ferry and proved such delight
full affair that it was resolved to
commemorate its anniversary, as often
as it recurred, with a similar event.
1t is understood that at these occasions
the professional character is laid aside and
all its "pills and potions," and the social
side of life is to be exclusively developed.
Many Of the physicians attending are accom-
panied by their families and the bachelorand
widower members of the profession are not
forgotten, for there are present quite a num-
Der of fair ladies who would do honor to
the science if they could be induced to
patronize it. The gloomy weather not
being favorable to outdoor recrea-
ton nor conducive to boating, the
upper rooms at Tells Hahn are cleared for
dancing. and an orchestra furnishes merry
music. The lower room was arranged for
a banquet hall and an elegant dinner was
prepared by Geo. II. Miller, the popular
restaurateur. The tables looked very
handsome and the dinner came off at
1p.m.
During the whole forenoon members of
the association and invited guests kept

and the disposition to discharge the trust
to the best of his abilities.
Some discussion was had as to the power
of the association to elect the executive
committee, and it was found the bylaws
provided for the president appointing
committee of five. 1t was suggested that
the first five reported by the committee be
formally appointed.
The meeting then adjourned, and after
4 half hour of social entertainment dinner
was announced. The table literally
groaned when the doctors lifted their
scalpels and proceed to disscct the sub
iect. The ladies were scattered through
the company and the festivities were alto
gethcr brilliant and attractive. DIR. Atlee,
in welcoming them all to the dinner, de-
clared the occasion to he one of an alto
gether social character, and invited them
all to participate in it with sense of ell
tire relief from professional care.
