PERSONAL NOTES.

An interesting and successful con- ventlon just held was that of the Amer lean Booksellers association, which was held at the Hotel Victoria. New York, and which was attended by w. T. Haskell and A, B. Fifeld of this city representing the firm of k. P. Judd & Co.,, members of the association. One of the most pleasant outside events for those fortunate enough to attend was a visit over the extensive plant of Doubleday Page & Co.,, the well known publishers. and at which each visitor, of whom there were fifty in all. was presented with a copy of Peary's new book Nearest the Pole" The gifts are especially valued by the recipients as Peary, the great Arctic explorer. was himself present and did each recipient the honor of writing his autograph cn the title page. Another, and of course leading feature of the unusual meet ing of the association, was the associa tion's annual banquet held at the ban quet room of the Aldine club, III Fifth avenue, at which 300 delegates sat down. and at which excellent speeches were made, the leading one in interest, perhaps, being that of the renowned Bishop Talbot, author of the new book, My People of the Plains"
