rangements have been made for the
trip TO take place July IL. and the In
er-Island Steamship Co.'S steamer
Noeau will be chartered for the occa-
sion. The trip as now arranged Will
take two days though several OF the
members objected strenuously To ex-
tending the time. There was objection
also on the part OF some Of the MEM

change may be made before the trip is
