ration, Which Is Presented by
President of Royal Astro-
nomical Society
BY Associa ted Pross


LONDON. Feb. 9-At a meeting of
the Royal Astronomical society at Bur-
lington house today, Ambassador Reid
received the gold medal for 1905, con-
ferred by the society on Prof. William
Wallace Campbell of the Lick observ-
atory, California.
The president of the society in pre-
senting 1t lengthily recited Prof. Camp
bells great success in spectroscopic
work which had greatly Increased the
worlds knowledge of stellar motions.
In the course of his speech the presi-
dent pleasantly referred to Mr.. Reid's
family relations with the Lick observ-
atory, through d. o. Mills, who is an
active trustee of that institution.
Mr.. Reid replied briefly. He said it
was a pleasure to serve as a medium
for transmitting a mark of the society s
distinguished approval to a country
man on the far Pacific coast and the
personal circumstances to which such
a gracious allusion had been made gave
the duty special zest. Prof. Campbell
certainly would value the decoration as
highly as a soldier and a statesman
would value one sent by his sovereign.
He thanked the society in the name
of Prof. Campbell, the Lick observatory
and the University of California.
