3rd International Vegetarian
Congress 1893 From the Vegetarian Messenger (Manchester), July, 1893: FAREWELL BREAKFAST TO THE DELEGATES TO AMERICA. - On Saturday, 20th May, one of the most delightful meetings ever held by The Vegetarian Society took place at Liverpool to bid farewell to the friends who were sailing on that day by the "Alaska" for New York, en route for Chicago. The delegates from Manchester were Mr. William E. A. Axon, the Rev. James Clark, and Mr. Ernest Clark, and these were joined by Mr. T. Anderson Hanson, from London. A goodly number of friends assembled from Manchester, Bolton, Cambridge, Oswestry, London and elsewhere, together with the Liverpool friends. During the breakfast the following resolution was moved by Mr. Joseph Knight, the Secretary of the Society :-
The resolution was heartily supported by Messrs. Harrison, Nayler, Owen, Foxcroft, Rev. F. W. C. Bruce, Huntingdon, Tongue, Mrs. Harrison, Messrs. Broadbent, Chapman, Roberts, and Tranton, and unanimously adopted. Mrs. E. Clark, Mr. Axon, Rev. Jas. Clark, and Mr. Hanson responded very happily. The party then adjourned, and went by the overhead railway to the Alexandra Dock, and having escorted the travellers to the gateway of the steamer, waved them a good-bye as the steamer left the dock. CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL
VEGETARIAN CONGRESS. -
The International Vegetarian Congress, held in connection with the World's
Columbian Exposition, has been highly successful. The attendance was
good ; the discussions brief and pointed ; there were fourty-four papers,
some of them exceptionally able and important, and the press of Chicago
showed their appreciation by lengthy and fair reports, and favourable
comments. The success was largely due to the efforts of Miss May Yates
in making the arrangements, and to the cordial manner in which she was
aided and supported by the local firends. A fuller report will be given
later. |
