COLUMBUS FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Last Tuesday evening, the last regu- 

 lar meeting of the month tooli place at 

 our rooms in the Iroquois Hall. More 

 -members were present than for a long 

 time. President Stephens was in the 

 chair, and all the other ofiicers were 

 with us. Amongst other regular busi- 

 ness, the financial report of the annual 

 picnic showed a small balance to the 

 good. Two active members were 

 elected, namely: Leo Bauman and E. 

 D. Batelle. The most interesting 

 topic of the evening was a discussion, 

 as to how our members should attend 

 the Dayton convention. Consensus of 

 opinion seemed to favor a special car, 

 as it looks now as if something like 

 , fifty would go from here. It was 

 ' finaily voted that a committee, con- 

 sisting of Messrs. Woodrow, McKellar, 

 and Faxon formulate a plan, and re- 

 port at the next meeting; suitable 

 badges and a floral decorated car have 

 been suggested. At this meeting many 

 preliminary matters pertaining to the 

 Chrysanthemum Show in November 

 next '*(?i*e" atranged ; the-velTious com- 

 mittees will shortly be announced. 

 After a most profitable evening, the 

 meeting at a late hour adjourned to 

 Tuesday evening, August 7th, when 

 the final plans regarding going to Day- 

 twi ^-^U I b.e, arranged.
