second Business Session.
The second business session was held
at night, beginning at $50 o'clock. The
attendance at il was excellent despite
the fact that a number of entertain
ments were going on to which the
agents had been invited. Among these
was the dance given at the Yacht CluD,
following the regatta, and a smoker
given especially for the agents by the
| Tomochichi Club.
The matter of chief Importance de-
cided at this night meeting was a
| change in the bylaws of the assOcia-
ton, making 1t possible now for an
| agents association in a town of 10O,-
| 900 inhabitants and with but two rail-
! roads to become members of the as
| sociation, whereas before membership
was limited to associations at termi-
nal or functional points in cities hav-
ing five or more railroads, or of cities
having three or more railroads with
not less than $4,000 population.
| Two of the subjects of discussion
were also disposed of: Necessity for
Improvement in billing at point or orr
! gin and rebilling stations so that full
information, including marks of pack
ages shown on bill of ladink may APP
pear on freight bills at destination;
and Collection of freight charges
through clearing house"
| At the TOmOchichi Club.
The meeting was adjourned shortly
after 10 o'clock and then the delegates
en- masse, visited the Tomochichi Club
where they received a hearty welcome
They were introduced to the
various members of the club
and to each other, where such
| introductions were necessary, were
served refreshments in the form
| of lunch and the usual aces
sories, and generally were made to fee
at home. During the evening music
was furnished by the orchestra of thu
| First Regiment Band.
The entertainment was prepared un
der the direct supervision of Mr.. Clar-
ence G. Anderson, Jr., chairman of the
House Committee of the club, who was
ably assisted by the other members o.
this committee and the officers anC
members of the club generally. The
result was all that could be desired
for the visitors were much pleased witt
the entertainment and the clubs quar-
ters and are high in praise of the hos.
pitality shown them.
