NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The announcement that Mr. John T. 

 Withers would deliver an illustrated 

 lecture on his recent trip around the 

 world at the November meeting of the 

 N. Y. Florists' Club, and that it would 

 also be "Ladies Night," brought out 

 a record attendance at the club room 

 last Monday evening. It was no dis- 

 appointment, for Mr. Withers was de- 

 lightfully entertaining and the refresh- 

 ments and subsequent program under 

 the trained management of Messrs. 

 Nugent. Schultz and Koehne, as House 

 Committee, were of a high order. The 

 lecturer conducted his audience 

 through the Yellowstone Park and 

 other wonders of our own land, thence 

 through the Hawaian Islands, Japan, 

 Burmah, India, Ceylon, Egypt, Italy 

 and the Riviera, showing lantern 

 slides of much beauty and interest, 

 and telling in pleasing manner the 

 story of his observations on his 20,000 

 miles of wandering, concluding with 

 the acknowledgement that he saw 

 nothing in the entire trip that im- 

 pressed him more than what he saw 

 in America.

 for another term but that gentleman 

 had declined. Ten new members were 

 added to the roll.

 mittee resolutions on the death of Ly- 

 man B. Craw, which were unanimous-

 during the year. The membership is 

 close on to one hundred again. 



Some exhibitions of athletic skill 

 were then given by several members

 Conn., was a very enthusiastic one. 

 A report on the exhibition was made 

 by the president, W. E. Clark, and

 sults of the show are to be seen by 

 the fact that sixteen new members 

 were admitted into the organization.
