THE PHILADELPHIA SHOW. 



Arrangements for the annual Fall

 tural Society are now complete. The 

 chrysanthemums promise well and 

 there will be a number of new fea- 

 tures, among which will be an aqua- 

 rium display in the main hall. Many 

 rare specimens will be exhibited, some 

 of them of almost fabulous value. The 

 show opens to the public Tuesday even- 

 ing, Nov. 4, at 6 P. M. All exhibits for 

 competition must be staged by noon 

 Tuesday. The fruits and vegetables 

 are an exception. These will be staged 

 Wednesday. The decorations of the 

 hall have been placed in the hands of 

 William Graham which insures good 

 work. The Strotid prizes for hardy 

 chrysanthemums will be awarded to 

 the best exhibits by the 800 boys and 

 girls who were presented by Mr.

For ten blooms of oue variety, to be oom- 



peted for at the coming exhibition 



in Chicago. 



Parker, A. Christenson, Lester W. 

 -Mann, S. J. Goddard and Eber Holmes. 

 With the exception of Mr. Holmes the 

 gentlemen elected were on the old 

 board and the large and decisive vote 

 received by them is regarded as a vic- 

 tory for the conservative wing. Dur- 

 ing the counting of the ballots by the 

 tellers speeches were made by several 

 members and invited guests. The 

 auditor's report showed a very pros- 

 perous financial situation. The menu 

 was excellent. Next year it is pro- 

 posed to invite the ladies to be 

 present.
