====================== HES POSTING ===================== 
 
Folks, 
 
As you may recall (quoting the HES'98 Conference announcement here): 
    Because of the city's numerous cultural and sporting    
    events, such as the Grand Prix and the Jazz Festival, visitor 
    accommodation in Montreal in June is at an absolute premium. 
 
See our HES'98 Conference index 
    http://www.eh.net/HisEcSoc/Conferences/98.shtml 
for links to the June Festival Calendar and much more. 
 
 
Here is a table representing evenings and nights around the conference.  
"hotel lodging" marks the three nights of the arrangement between hotel 
and conference, which were covered on the accommodations form for both 
hotel and university residences.  More nights are still available at the 
university residences. 
 
[NOTE: Table will display properly if your email viewer is set to use a  
proportional font, such as Courier.--RBE]

FIREWORKS: 
--------- 
The Benson & Hedges International - Montreal fireworks competition is 
quite impressive; the fireworks are a regular feature of the Montreal 
summer scene.  Spain will compete on Wednesday the 17th, Austria on 
Saturday the 20th.  
 
Highlife opportunity: dinner on Saturday night at the Restaurant Club 
Lounge 737 tel:(514)397 0737 for a panoramic view of Montreal and the 
Austrian fireworks. Reservation presumed necessary. [--Valerie] 
 
Lowlife opportunity: stand anywhere on the ground and look up! 
 
 
BASEBALL: 
-------- 
The Montreal Expos are one of thirty "major league" teams, the top of 
North American professional baseball.  Montreal is playing at home and 
at night for most of the time around HES'98, host to "America's Team" 
(Atlanta) and then engaged in a two-city series with "Canada's Team" 
(Toronto). 
 
The team does not sell out its stadium, even for the most popular games, 
so some walk-up tickets will be available. [--Paul] 
 
 
LODGING: 
------- 
Lodging in University Residences is available for the Conference nights 
and also for the preceding and following nights (perhaps more than one).
