After the banquet. President sc. Gordon
called the assembly to oIder,and after
few preliminary remarks. introduced Hon.
W. W. Thomas, Jr.
Mr.. Thomas, who was received with cordi-
al applause, began by complimenting the
Academy of Medicine for Arranging that
those who were to speak should not know
of it beforehand. 1t conduced to digestion
and the enjoyment of the banquet. Since
he had been abroad the Academy of Medi-
cine had stepped forth like Minerva. full
armed. from theibrain of Jove, at the word
'sgo' Naughter). He did net know
whether the Maine Academy of Medicine
wanted anything of the Legislature. but
if it did he should say.as after seeing what he
had, Grant it.'' loud applause). Mr..
Thomas then spoke few words of pleasant
congratulation to those of his old legislative
associates whom he saw present.
Senator Higgins Of Limerick. admitted il
was true that he was member of the legis-
latu1e, but he was country youth, 1augh-
teri unused 10 speaking. (Laughter). He
knew they had been brought up from Au-
gusta Tor a purpose, but he didn't know
what it was. He would say in all frankness
that they had already established ole hos
pital in Bangor, and couldn't give Portland
another. (Langhter). But the House and
Senate were present, SO speak out. Gap
plause.)
President Cord on-'We have no axes to
g1ind.'' DR.. Gordon then went on to
plain that the legislators had been invited
to view the quarters of the academy. This
operating room was just finished, and was
| now first opened.
Representative v. 7. Haines of Water
vile, was next called OH and cordially re-
ceived. He said he was glad to find the
doctors all agreeing. He told humorous
story of the Portland lawyer. who refunded
fee because he found he knew nothing
about the subject. Mr.. Haines then COM
pIimented. the work of the Academy of Med
icine If it wanted anything he was il. IA
vor of giving it. He had always voted for
the largest app OPERATIONS for all Names
charitab BILE and educational institutions ;and
if he was permitted to eat poor fare in An
gusta for another winter. he would still con-
tinue the policy. Mr.. Haines's speech was
voted RATHER and loudly aPplauded.
| Senator Day of Penooscot, being called on
responded that however the Academy
might treat the eye. he knew that it did
| well by the stomach.
| Father of the House Dickey of Fort Kent
| said the Maine General Hospital and the
Eye and Ear Infirmary had always been
pets of his. He introduced the resolve to
| give the Maine General Hospital its land.
He used to go to musters there, and as he
and his friends used to get paralyzed. they
thought it would be good place for hos
pital. Loud applause.)

hall where the Academy of Medicine began
