158 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Secretary Goodman's report was, like all his papers, of great value 

 in the facts and suggestions. It would be well if all in Missouri could 

 read it, as his earnest words would surely have a good effect on many. 

 At the evening session came some of the best papers of the meeting. 



Prof. Kelley does some marveloas work on his violin. He was 

 forced to appear a second time. The Ivy Leaf Mandolin club delighted 

 the company, and several selections being repeatedly recalled. 



The committee on resolutions reported the heartiest kind of thanks 

 for their entertainment, and several, in seconding the resolutions, de- 

 clared they were never treated better, and they would come again. 



At 10 o'clock the session came to an end. The Republican and 

 every citizen of Springfield hopes it will not be long 'until the Queen 

 Oity is again favored with a State Horticultural meeting, — Kepublican, 

 Springfield, Mo.
