Meeting.
The opening sessions of the United
Typothetae were most successfully held
yesterday. The weather could not have
been better and the delegation of over
400 members and guests who have come
to New Haven to attend the convention
spent one of the most enjoyable days
they have ever spent. The air was de-
lightfully cool for the great carriage
ride in the afWternoon; there was not
a grain of dust and the long and beau
tiful trip was not marred by a single
accident or interruption of any kind.
The members and friends of the Ty-
pCthetae are unanimous in expressing
the opinion that the present convention
is the most successful that has ever
been held by the association and that
the attractions and points of interest
about the City of Films are equal if
not superior to those of any city in,
which the national association has con-
vened. On all sides last evening the
delegates were continually expressing
delight over the carriage drive in the
afternoon, which they declared was a
delightful one from the starting at the
New Haven house to the end of the

hour before the session for calling the
first business session which was set at
