The meeting last night marked the full
flllment OF plans that have been ripening
slowly through months OF patient toll on
the part al q few men In this city. In
first suggesting the organization OF a lum-

couraging obstacles. but they allowed
nothing to daunt them. and the result Is a
monument to their wisdom and energy.
The exchange has been fortunate In tho
selection Of Its rooms. They are In the
basement Of the Dexter Horton building.
and ara therefore centrally and conven-

venisntly arranged rs could be wished,
and they presented q specially attractive
appearance last night. The main room
was comfortably supplied with chairs to
seat the goodly audience that gathered
despite the Indictment evening; the COM
nSttee room. n which hospitabIe banquet
board was spread. was decorated with
