AsBURY PARK, June 10, 1Ss9.-The New
Jersey doctors all agreed on one point
this season, and that was that they should
meet at Asbury Park June Is and 10. 81
yesterday morning the different mem
bers of the Medical Society of New Jersey
began to flock into the Coleman House
until as many as 200 were collected. This
is their 123d annual meeting, but no ont
would guess this by seeing them, if 1t hat
not been advertised. For several pre-
vious years the meetings have been hello
at Spring Lake or Lakewood.
II. Genet TAYLOR, NJ. d., of Camden, is
the president of the society. b.. A. Wat
son, N. d., of Jersey City; James S. Green,
M. D., of Elizabeth, and E.. j. Marsh, N. p,
of Paterson, are the vice presidents. Will.
lam Elmer, Jr., M. D., of Trenton, and
William Pierson, NJ. d., of Orange, are
the secretaries. Z. j. Smith, NJ. d., OF
Bridgeton; ID. G. English, M. d., of New
Brunswick. and ]. G. Ryerson, NJ. D., OF
Boonton, form the Standing Committee.
The meeting, which was held in the draw
ing room of the Coleman House, was
opened at four O'Clock in the afternoon
with a prayer by the Rev. Frank Chandler.
After this James A. Bradley read an adj.
dress of welcome. The balance of their
time, until they adjourned for their din
her at half-past six, was devoted to bust
ness matters. ~
The A~sburyians nave been debating for
some time as to what particular form the
attention that they proposed to pay the
doctors should take, and finally decided
to give them a reception, which they did
last evening, at half-past seven O'Clock.
They think that, If the doctors are SO dis
posed, Asbury Park will prove a formi-
dable rival to Atlantic City as Il winter
resort. The reception was followed by a
banquet at the Coleman, which was
served at half-past ten, u frightfully late
hour for Asbury. 1t was a splendid affair,
the French cooks at the hotel laying
themselves out on it in honor of the
doctors.
Proceedings began today at nine o'clock,
J. p. Davis, M. D., reading a paper on the
subject of Dissection Within the State. +"
Other interesting reports and essays fol-
lowed by G. +. J. Lehlbach, Nj. D.; E. j.
Marsh, M. d., of Paterson; II. NJ. Weeks,
M. d., of Trenton; J.. Nv. Ward, M. d.,
aud many Others. w. p. Watson, M. d.,
of Jersey City, the vice president, read an
essay on s'The Value of Creosote in Fifty
Gases of Chronic Disease of the Air Pass
ages. Many of the doctors are SO pressed
for time that they will return tomorrow
morning to their respective homes, but
others will remain a few days longer n
joying the sea breezes at Asbury.
On account of the prevailing weather it
is feared that the doctors may get into
their simple little noodles the idea that if
it is half as cold here in winter as it is i'll
summer 1t will be q fine spot to help kill
the invalidS.
There is quite an interesting exhibit
going on in two large rooms in the Cole
man House opening ON the main hall in
connection with this convention. Many of
the principal druggists Of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania have their agents
with specimens of their specialties. Each
one has his separate table SO that it looks
hke q large fair. Some of the best known
surgical instrument makers have here
collected their newest and deadliest wea-
pons. The large orchestra of the Cole
man House plays now every afternoon.
