Committee. 



Mr. LaMonte offered the following resolution, which was unani- 

 mously adopted: 



Resolved, That the Warsaw Horticultural Society, and the citizens of 

 Hamilton and Hancock County, extend a cordial invitation to the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Central Illinois to meet in our county as often as the in- 

 terests of the Society will permit. 



The Committee on Final Resolutions presented the following 

 report: 



Resolved, That the thanks of th'e Central Illinois Horticultural Society 

 are due, first to the different railroad companies for reduced fare to parties 

 desirous of attending this meeting; to the ladies and gentlemen who have 

 added to the interest of the meeting by the presentation of excellent papers 

 and addresses, which, as a rule, have shown no little attention and research 

 in their preparation; to the ladies of the Carthage Floral Guild, the Warsaw 

 Floral Society, the Montebello Floral Society, and Joseph Heinl, of Jackson- 

 ville, for the well-selected, carefully-arranged and elegant display of flowers 

 and plants presented; to the people of Hamilton and vicinity for their cor- 

 dial welcome and hospitality extended to all, and especially to the ladies of 

 the Congregational Church for the ample and excellent refreshments fur- 

 nished; to the City Marshal, for his prompt, kind and careful attention to 

 the comfort and convenience of all. And 



Resolved, further. That it is the sense of this Society that if its Com- 

 mittee on Resolutions have inadvertently omitted to tender its thanks to 

 any person or parties rendering assistance in furthering the success and in- 

 terest of this meeting, that the Society hereby wishes to do its duty in this 



behalf.
