best ever held. The attendance was a
representative one and the sessions were
harmonious and interesting.

vote for the change was surprisingly
large, and indicated that the matter had
grown into one of no little Importance.

mometer stood at 81 Degrees and this.
with the several hot debates, made, it
pretty warm all around.
