 about fifty members in attendance.

 reports of various special committees 

 on convention matters. All reports 

 were to the effect that everything was 

 in readiness for the big event. A new 

 fern, a sport from Xeplirolepis

 Wilson." The judges recommended a 

 certificate of merit. I'. J. Foley sent
