ment about the excursion, saying that
the invitation included both the friends
and families of the delegates.
All attention was then directed to the
end gallery, where the photographer
stage, ready to make his imprint of
those present. The secretaries took their
positions on the stage, the delegates as
sumed sufficiently y imposing look, and
after strictly enjoining silence the photo
grapher removed the cap and the ordeal
began. The strain became rather intense
when, after the expiration of a minute,
no indications were given of concluding
the performance, and the look of pleas
ure with which all had determined to
illuminate the photograph, gradually as
sumed an expression that might be in
duced by the tortures of the rack. Nearly
two minutes had elapsed when, presto!
the cap was replaced, a thank you, gen
tlemen," from the artist, and sigh of
relief passed around the hall.
Chairman Del Vale then read letter
from the Pasadena Board of Trade, in

letter said, would be in waiting at the
trains to meet the members and escort

Mr.. w w. Foote moved that a recess
of fifteen minutes be taken, and it was
suggested that the credentials be handed
in to the Secretary before leaving.
The roll call was then commenced, but
a number of voices proposed that the
credentials be handed to the chairmen
of the different delegations and that they
hand them into the Secretary.
Mr.. Foote moved that his original
motion for recess of fifteen minutes be
adopted, and that during that time the
chairmen hand in the credentials as sug-
gested.

after the chairmen had read the list of a
number of kilograms that were awaiting
