 The success of this part of the meeting
 was due greatly to the efforts of the enter
 tainment committee consisting of J. s. Coburn, chairman, w. A. Bronson and R.
 M. Sheridan.
 The scene in the banquet hall was one of
 the most lively and pleasant nature. The
 caterer had prepared feast of the most
 tempting nature, and after the many
 were sitting back quietly enjoying their
 coffee and cigars. The president, Captain
 Gessner arose and stated that the exer-
 cises to follow would be informal and that
 every one would be called upon either fo,
 speech, song, or story. First of all
 he called upon the mayor, who had been
 quietly sitting at his right.
 MT. Sargent was received with hearty
 applause, and said in brief: 'I am warned by the president to make 8 very short
 speech because he says he is going to cal
 upon you all for some contribution. It if | my pleasure and a sort of duty to give you semi official welcome to the city.
 do give you hearty welcome to the city ! especially because am sort of country
 cousin to your profession, because way
 back in the '40s I kept a store of you
 kind in southern town. There is no pro
 fession which know of that has advanced
 more than has yours. My story vii
 make short, and again I welcome yor
 heartily"
 Mr. L. J. Monson of Waterbury wa, | next introduced. He said have ofter : been called upon to speak publicly, but | there is no occasion which gives me great |. I CT pleasure than response at Connecti
 cut Pharmaceutical association. It is verJ
 gratifying to me that we have with us this evening the mayor of your city, MT. Sar
 gent MT. Monson went on to describ,
 the growth of the association from tht
 early days of it's history. He said h.
 thought it had helped the profession ma ! terially and that the annual meetings wer,
 of great benefit to the members. Dr. 0. A. Lindsley started off his speecl with the reference to Mrs. Burlington ant then went on to criticise the president fo calling upon him to talk.
 He said Chauncey Depew was goot looking man and perhaps he resemblet
 him in that respect, but he made no pre- tensions of any likeness to that distinguish | ed after dinner talker in speech making.
 His remarks, however, were very witt,
 and convulsed the listeners oftentime
 with their pointedness. He criticised the prevalent method of dosin and advocated the exterminatiol , of some of the quack medicines. To il
 lustrate this he told the story of the ser want girl who went into store and bough a much advertised patent medicine witt t the directions which read five drops fo . an infant, thirty drops for an adult, and , table spoonful for an emetic. The gi1 took it by the spoonful thinking, as sh
 was not an infant or an adult, she must b t l an emetic. It is needless to state the gi1
 was very i'll. He closed his remarks wit
 words of very complimentary nature t , the association.
 MT. Sykes of Hartford had some storie
 of very pleasant nature to relate whic f were enjoyed hugely.
 :, Rev. Dr. Chapman was called upon mex ; and responded gracefully to the invitation : The president did not quite go the round q l of calling upon every one, but there we1
 only few who escaped. The feast WE . ended at an early hour this morning an the occasion was enjoyed thoroughly b
 all.
 8 This morning the presidents report wi 5 be read and other routine business tran, H acted, after which the officers will | | elected for the ensuing year. In the aftel T noon the installation of officers will tak J. place.
