During Recess 



Tuxedo Horticultural Society. 



The former members o[ the old 

 Tuxedo Horticultural Society recog- 

 nized the spirit actuating those new 

 members who were Instrumental in 

 starting the society up again, by vot- 

 ing at a recent meeting to hold a 

 social celebration, and it certainly was 

 a celebration and a good one that 

 came off on the evening of Wednes- 

 day, March 2, in the Village Club. 

 The first installment was a bowling 

 contest. Here the old stagers had the 

 advantage of practice, but the others 

 made up with enthusiasm what they 

 otherwise lacked. When the exertions 

 of bowling seemed to tell, the presi- 

 dent led the way to the banqueting 

 room, where the committee had in 

 readiness an elaborate collation, 

 Thomas Murray presided here as else- 

 where and after the lighting of cigars 

 remarks were made by the vice-presi- 

 dent, James MacMachan; ,James Allen, 

 David S. Miller, Fred. Bently, Albert 

 Fischer, ,Joseph Tansey, Patrick Cas- 

 sidy and David Mcintosh. After this 

 some more bowling brought a very 

 enjoyable entertainment to a close, 

 fhe committee consisted of G. O. 



Bush, Fredk. Bently and Fred. Rake. 

 DAVID McINTOSH, Sec'y.
