They will be remembered by us in time to come. The outgoing members, Messrs. Hatch and Nightingale and Mrs. Abbott, having withdrawn, the Board was called to order by the Secretary, Mr. W. L. Pillsbury, and thereupon proceeded to the election of officers. Mr. Bullard was elected president; Mr. W. L. Pillsbury was reelected corresponding and recording secretary and registar; Mr. E. G.
