Others Of this city have cause for deep regret
1t is about impossible to discover Just who
composed the membership Of the club, which
was stated to be . legally organized corpora

New York, q man of some wealth; Thomas
Campbell, a brother Of Congressman Tim
Campbell, and John A. Qualey, who was said by
some to be lawyer Of this city and by others
to belong to New York. Qualey's name does
not appear, however, in the city directory.
Other New York parties were also said to be
members OF the corporation, although it has
been impossible to learn their names.
The club was formed in the belief that racing
in New Jersey would be prohibited and that the
scene of winter racing could then be success
prohibitory law did not pass, few horsemen
could be induced TO come here, and the New

The organization of series of surveys and
their final coordination into the present United
States geological survey has made Washing
ton for many years not only the principal
center for BIOLOGISTS Of this country, but also
one Of the principal centers in the world, % far
rs contributions to that branch Of science ara
concerned.
Heretofore the geoloGists in Washington have
presented their communities ions for local dis
cussion chiefly before the Philosophical So
ciety, but as the number of communication in
creased there was . demand for greater oppor-
tunity for the presentation and discussion of
geological papers than the Philosophical So
cisty Afforded As result new society, called
the Geological Society Of Washington, was or
ganized February %. 1893
The first scientific meeting was held March g.
at which, after an introduction by Major ]. w.
Powell. director Of the geological survey q
paper was presented by Mr.. H. W. Turner on
Nevada" Mr.. s. F. Emmons then read a
paper on the Geological Distribution of Ore
Deposits in the United States"
The constitution and standing rules Of the
society were subscribed to by los founders be-
fore the first pubic meeting Its members
are of two classes. active and correspnding.
The annual dues in the first are % and of the
second 81. Meetings will be held the sec
ond and generally also on the fourth Wednes-
day Of each month. from October 10 May, in
elusive. at the Cosmos Club.
The journals and bulletins Of the various So
ciesies appear to furnish sufficient opportunity
for the publication Of papers read before the
society. so that for the present the society will
not undertake to publish the papers presented.
1t will probably isshe one bulletin each year,
containing the address OF the retiring president
and such other matters a. the council directs.

weakness of the club behind the bat But
the sum must have seemed big as the

bargain was declined and claim laid to Milligan,
