The two kiosks, situated at the south end of the hall, one 

 under the supervision of Miss J. Rollo, assisted by Misses Dunn, 

 Vidler, Dickenson, and Sutton, and Mrs. C. Daley and Mrs. 

 J. R. Tovey ; and the other under the supervision of Mrs. Geo. 

 Coghill, assisted by Mrs. Edmondson, Miss Sutton, and others, 

 did a brisk business in the sale of button-holes and flowers, 

 and eventually handed in the sum of £35 5s. yd. 



The confectionery stall and refreshment buffet, conducted by 

 the Y.M.C.A., were well patronized, and realized a profit of 

 £20. 



The thanks of the Club are due to Miss Amy Fuller for 

 arranging and carrying out the appreciated vocal and instru- 

 mental programme rendered during the afternoon and evening, 

 to which she, as well as Madame Millie Tree Chapman, Misses 

 Gill, Mahaffy, and J. and M. Moodie, and Messrs. J. Amadio 

 and T. Minogue, so pleasingly contributed. 



To Mr. F. Wisewould the Club is deeply indebted for the time 

 he expended and the trouble and expense incurred in procuring 

 and transmitting, from his country residence at Upper Paken- 

 ham, the young eucalypti, acacia, and native cherry growths 

 that entered so largely into the decorative scheme. 



The Director of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens, Mr. J. 

 Cronin, is cordially thanked for the highly educational and 

 attractive display of Australian shrubs and Victorian ferns ; 

 and Messrs. E. E. Pescott and C. French, jun.. for their varied 

 collection of orchids. 



For the valuable assistance so cheerfully and ungrudgingly 

 given by many ladies and gentlemen whose names do not 

 appear in this brief and superficial sketch, the Club tenders 

 them its keen appreciation and heartiest thanks. 



It is expected that the display will result in a profit of at 

 least £130.
