society at its convention in Rochester. 

 The meeting then adjourned to the 

 banquet hall where an enjoyable menu 

 served in good style was partaken of 

 by the members and invited guests. 

 Toastmaster Panter, who is fully the 

 equal in this respect of a certain fa- 

 mous Ex-mayor of the City of Broth- 

 erly Love, was in great form and the 

 "fun was fast and furious." President- 

 elect Kichling on being introduced 

 made a characteristic speech. He had 

 the flag nailed to the mast and with 

 the help of the members promised a 

 great future for the Society. His re- 

 marks on this city as the "logical 

 point" for the Panama Exposition, 

 were well received and he was ten- 

 dered an ovation at its close. Vice- 

 president Simon promised his best ef- 

 forts in pushing the Society aloug. 

 Ex-city attorney Jno. F. C. Waldo, in 

 speaking for the City of New Orleans, 

 made the hit of the evening. A bril- 

 liant orator, he kept his audience in 

 a continual roar. Mr. Waldo has long 

 been a strong friend to the Society 

 and the members present made their 

 appreciation of the fact apparent by 

 their applause. Mr. Panter then in a 

 persuasive manner called on the mem- 

 bers present to subscribe to the Ex- 

 position stock and they responded 

 nobly. Ed. Baker, the first president 

 of the Society was then called on and 

 in a feeling manner presented to 

 Treasurer Eblen a handsome umbrella 

 in testimony of the affection and re- 

 spect of the members. Mr. Eblen was 

 vei-y much taken aback and returned 

 thanlvs in a broken manner. Recover- 

 ing he gave a nice resume of the ups 

 and downs of the Society and prophe- 

 sied clear sailing in the future. H. 

 Papworth, H. A. Despommier, Paul 

 Abele and C. Eble gave interesting 

 talks and pointed out to the younger 

 members the responsibilities resting 

 on their shoulders. P. A. Chopin 

 waxed eloquent on the subject of "The 

 Ladies," without the least trouble. H. 

 Dressell, on being congratulated on 

 his success with roses, replied modest- 



ly. R. Lockerbie spoke for the trade 

 papers, Mr. Pfaff for the honorary 

 members, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Drum 

 for the visitors. A vote of thaulcs was 

 accorded to the host and hostess, after 

 which the most successful and enjoy- 

 able anniversary of the Society came 

 to an end. The tables were beautifully 

 decorated with roses, asters and lilies 

 from Mr. Papworth and Mr. Virgin. 

 A cablegram trom M. Alost, who is in 

 Europe, as well as a telegram from 

 Otto Abele, who is now on his way to 

 Germany to visit his invalid mother, 

 were read during the evening. 



count of him leaving the district. He 

 takes up his new position on August 

 1st as gardener to Henry Phipps, Ros- 

 lyn, L. I. The Society wishes him 

 every success. Charles O. Duncan was 

 elected treasurer for the remainder of 

 the term. 



The points in prize competition were 

 as follows: A. Bauer, 88 for Oncidium 

 sarcodes; Wm. Seymour, 85 for gladi- 

 olus Mrs. Francis King; C. 0. Duncan 

 79 for Pandanus Veitchii.
