1.-THE committee on transportation has
arranged for special rates from all parts
of the country and many will doubtless
take advantage of the opportunity not
only to attend the meeting of the associa-
ton, but also to visit the various points
of interest in the Northwest. A delight
full trip is promised over the great lakes
from Buffalo to Duluth, If a sufficient
number can be obtained to warrant the
expense of putting one of the boats into
commission a couple of weeks before
the regular season opens. This trip is
a unique one and is not surpassed in in
terest or in the beauty of it's scenery by
any similar trip in this country; indeed
we know of no similar: trip to compare
with it. 1t is more than likely that
other excursions will be planned to take
place after the meeting, and there are
innumerable trips available for those
who desire to prolong their vacation and
to enjoy the fishing for which the lakes
and streams of Minnesota are so famous.
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS PLANNED.
Concerning the entertainment Of the
members of the association we can say
that this will be on a scale common
sGrate with the well known hospitality
Of the people of st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. On Wednesday evening, June 5,

tainments in St. Paul and it Is planned
to have that portion of Summit avenue
place, handsomely Illuminated, and out
door music will be provided. On Thurs
day evening a large ball and promenade
concert will be given by the Hennepin
County Medical society and the people
of Minneapolis on the university campus.
Numerous small private affairs are be-
ing planned and a large committee Of
the ladies of st. Paul has been organized
to take care of the visiting ladies during
IL \ &op4 Of hn
meeting, and to make their visit enjoy
able The general sessions Of the asso-
citation will be held in the MetropolitaR
opera house which is but a stones throw
from the Ryan block, where the bureau
of registration and the general exhibit
will be located. The section meetings
will be held in various halls and churches
in different parts of the city, but none
Of them very far apart and all within
