where speeches Of welcome were
made and responded to, followed by
music by the College Band.
From the College to the Convent
which we found open, bidding a silent
welcome TO those beautiful grounds,
now in full spring dress. The Mother
Superior met the visitors at the
parlor door and bidding them a
pleasant welcome led them to the
Exhibition Hall, where the young
lady pupils formed in lines around
the stage by one motion and bowed
gracefully to their visitors. The pro-
gram was simple but attractive. One
Young lady would seat herself at the
piano. three others step from the line
and sing an old ballad in the chorus
of which the whole school Joined.
This was repeated and finally closed
with Home. Sweet Home by the
whole school. Father Nugent and
Alexander Ross, in behalf of the
Convent made short speeches OF
welcome.
During the morning DIR. Goody-
countz had been rather rebellious aud
hcgrudgcd the time lost TO business.
but tine Young ladies at the Convent
captured the warm heart Of the
gentleman AMI he surrendered. and
like a brave man acknowledged his
defeat.
DIR. Halls response to the last song
by the young lady pupils at the Con-
vent was very touching. especially
when he referred TO the author who
was first inferred in n foreign grave.
At one o'clock p. IN. the Association

ing the state of health and birth and

At the close of the evening session
the Association as the guests of the
medical profession ofthls city repaired
TO Hotel Scott where a sumptuOuS
banquet had been prepared for the
members. Two hours were pleasant
" passed at the tables where several
of the members made merry the
evening with their wit and humor.
making every member feel like he
was amongst friends and brothers.
The supper was without the sparkling
wine, So the overflow of pleasure ard
goodwill was real. not artificial.
This Thursday morning DIR. Por-
icrticld presented a paper on the En-
animation of Applicants for Pension
and Life Insurance which showed
exhaustive labor in lis preparation
The members were anxious to re-
turn home and pushed business closing
their session al Dol

meetings of professional men ever
held in this city. and we trust each

Remarkable stories arc told Of tie
gift which many public characters
have for remembering the names and
faces of comparatively uuimportant
persons. II may be c~onsoling 10
persons who lack this pleasant faculty
that they have distinguished company,
says the Argondut. Nr. Joseph Jet
fersen has difficulty in remembering
names. lie told this story toa friend:
Il was coming down In the elevator
of the Stock Exchange building, and
al one of the intermediate floors, q
man whose face | knew as well Is |
know yours got In. lie greeted mo
very warmly at once, said 1t was q
number of years since We had met,
and was very gracious and friendly.
But | couldn't place him for the life
of me. I asked him as a sort Of o
fceler how he happened to be in New
York, and he answered, with a touch
of surprise, that lie had lived there
for several years. Finally told him,
in an apologize way, that couldn't
recall his name. lie looked at me for
q moment, and then he said very
quietly, that his pane was U. 5.
Grant,
What did you do, Joe": his friend
asked.
dor he replied, with a character
istic smile. "Why, l got out Mt the
next floor for fear l should be fool
enough to ask him if he had ever
been in the war"
