large attendance of ogden ladies, who
desired to enjoy the sessions.
Toward the close of the afternoon.
when the schools had been dismissed.
the audience room of the church was
thronged, every chair being occupied
The characteristic promDtness ana
energy manifested throughout the en-
tire session was displayed today on
all occasions. The beiated Spectator,
arriving a few minutes late. found the
proceedings well under way, ana not

were somewhat behindhand was due

train yesterday, which put fully Two
hours OF yesterdays business over on
to today The fact tina, those two
hours were made up without cutting
the programme is an evidence OF the
business ability displayed:
Brief reports of the clubs represent
ed were made by delegates, and 1t was
shown that great activity and interest
was manifested in almost every CLUB.
An amendment to the bylaws was
adopted, changing the number OF cl,
rectors to a fixed number, 10, instead
of one from each club; the 10 members
to be chosen from the membership.
