CONVENTION NOTES. 



The following characteristic letter 

 was received by John Westcott from 

 Ex-treasurer Beatty, Atlantic City, 

 N. J. 



"Dear Commodore, Mrs. Beatty joins me 

 in best wishes to our friends and yourself. 

 Mav von all have the bestest of all best 

 times.' H. B. BEATTY." 



The Convention Souvenir Album Is 

 in all respects worthy of the occasion, 

 a credit to the men who worked so in- 

 dustriously to make it a success and, 

 no doubt, will be preserved and prized 

 during the life time of many of the 

 participants in the occasion which it so 

 fittingly commemorates. 



The Boston party was much the 

 largest to attend a convention in 

 many years, practically filling three 

 sjiecial Pullman cars. They had an 

 amusing experience on the way when 

 six were left behind while appeasing 

 their appetite at the Syracuse depot. 

 They followed on a train directly after 

 and reached the hotel in Rochester as 

 soon as the regular party and had the 

 satisfaction of having their friends 

 carry their luggage for them from the 

 train to hotel. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PARK 

 SUPERINTENDENTS. 



The second day's meeting was de- 

 voted to visiting the capitol, the 

 Mount Pleasant Press (The J. Horace 

 MacFarland Printery), and Island 

 Park. Viewing the sunset from Front 

 St. Park was postponed on account of 

 a very heavy wind and rain storm. 



An executive meeting was held at 

 which the officers for the ensuing year 

 were elected as follows: Wm. J. 

 Zartman, Brooklyn, N. Y., president; 

 W. H. Dunn. Kansas City, Mo.; Chas. 

 E. Keith, Bridgeport. Conn.; James 

 B. Shea, Boston, Mass.; Dr. Frank 

 Baker. Washington, D. C: W. R. 

 Adams, Omaha, Neb., and J. W. 

 Thompson, Seattle, Wash., vice-presi- 

 dents: F. L. Mulford, Harrisburg. Pa., 

 secretary-treasurer. Secretary Mul- 

 ford's report shows the association to 

 be in a most flourishing condition. 



The evening session was held in the 

 lecture room of the Mt. Pleasant 

 Press. 



Peter Bisset of the office of Plant 

 Introduction of the Bureau of Plant 

 Industry gave an exceedingly instruc- 

 tive lecture on new plant introduc- 

 tions. George W. Ehler spoke on the 

 use of parks and play grounds, and 

 T. M. Baedenkoff told how the public 

 washed. 



Kansas City has been chosen for the 

 next meeting.
