The closing session of the annual
meeting of the Association was not
less interesting than those that had
gone before. Numerous speeches,
some witty, others in more serious
vein, but all very much to the point,
interested the scribes and those who
came to see and hear. There was a
round-table talk, GAS to Legislation, -
with Henry r. Lawrence as the engi-
neer to safely guide any possible war;
derers through rocky places. The full
list of speakers and their subjects fol-
