kindly disposal o. the gifts which
Dame rtune has smilingly shower
ed upon US, to have welcome that
revealed fuller and deeper meaning OF
friendly consideration than was cen
star tly in evidence In the attentions
shown US by our friends OF the Ger

Schutz3n Bund.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
regret sincerely that we can find no
words to adequately express our great

in adding to the enjoyment Of the

in all It's history, be 1t.
R s,lved, That the thanks OF the
Association are due and here y are
rendered to The NsWs and Courier
and the Evening Post, not only tor
the excellent manner In which they
have kept track Ct the meanderings
and mind wanderings OF the members
OF the Association, but also because
of the wholesoulsd manner in which
the men who make those papers have
deserted their efdces in order to con-
tribute TO the pleasure, comfort and
entertainment Of the Association.
Especially are the thanks OF the
Association due to the managing
editor Of The News and Courier,
Major J. o. Hemphill, not only for
his genial presence, adding much to
the pleasure and interest and Vivacity
Of the meetings, but also because OF
bis well intended kindness In tender
ing his editorial columns to the mem
bers Of the Association so that the
readers Of The News and Courier
might be given an opportunity by
this comparison to appreciate how
ably The News and Courier Is edited
seven days out Of every ffGy-two
weeks.
