About half of the sum paid as expenses of delegates was for those sent 

 to the meeting in Chicago for organization of horticulturists for work at 

 the World's Fair and their journey to Detroit for conference with President 

 Palmer in connection with the other officials of this society, then in 

 attendance upon our fair. The rest is for delegates sent to Windsor, in 

 December last, to the meeting of the Ontario Horticultural Society.
