fal Association held its semi~annual
session at st James on Monday Of this
week.
The citizens of st. James received
the editors and their wives and daugh-
tiers with cordially and generosity
which, if ever eqaalled, certainly WIS
never surpassed on like occasion. A
committee of ladies headed by Mis-.
Rev. Ballieau, was in attendance to
welcome the ladies from abroad.
Messrs. Lynch and Foote Of the local
press had so prepared the way fur the
coming of their brethren that there
was nothing for the guests to do but
to enjoy themselves. The editors were
allowed to pay for nothing, and lacked
for nothing in the way of their en-
tertainment. The new opera house was
used for the afternoon and evening
sessions, and is gem of beauty and
convenience, Of which tie city of st.
James may we'll be proud. The after
noon session was an informal consul
tation on various topics Of general in
terest to the profession. The evening

Standpoint" At the evening meeting
and ut the banquet the professor we'll
sustained his high reputation for wit
and eloquence. The banquet given by
the citizens at the Hotel Gibbs was. in
every respect, a superb affair. About
l25 persons sat down to feast which
princes might we'll be delighted with.
