the executive committee, consisting of 

 James Duthie, I. S. Hendrickson, Geo. 

 W. Kerr, P. W. Popp, were re-elected, 

 and Joseph J. Lane was chosen to the 

 place left vacant by Mr. Dick. The 

 nomenclature committee was re-elect- 

 ed, namely, Prof. F. H. Hall, chair- 

 man, L. K. Peacock, Geo. W. Fraser, 

 Jos. Kirby and Leonard Barron. The 

 vice-presidents elected were Geo. L. 

 Stillman, representing the north; E. 

 S. Brown, representing the east; Prof. 

 J. B. Norton, representing the south; 

 W. W. Wilmore, representing the 

 ■west, and the Rev. W. O. Wyckoff, 

 representing the central west. 



It was agreed to abolish the dollar 

 Initiation fee and to make a uniform 

 annua! subscription of $2, thus doing 

 away with the associate memberships. 



The society's classification scheme 

 was endorsed by the meeting and the 

 secretary was asked to write to dahlia 

 firms and others, suggesting that they 

 publish the classification scheme in 

 their catalogs. 



Considerable discussion took place 

 on the proposition to have a complete 

 list of dahlia names published, said 

 list having been prepared, it was 

 stated, by Prof. Hall. It was the de- 

 sire of the meeting that the publica- 

 tion be accomplished. 



The question, "What is an Ama- 

 teur?" was also debated, but the ques- 

 tion bristled with so many difficulties 

 that no action was taken, the chair- 

 man humorously remarking that such 

 matters should be left for his suc- 

 cessor. 



The meeting was of an open, free, 

 more or less informal character, the 

 speaking being participated in by 

 quite a number of those present. 



The Banquet 

 This was a very pleasant little re- 

 union, attended by about thirty-five 

 members and friends on Tuesday 

 evening, at the Hotel Navarre. It 

 was announced as the first annual 

 dinner of the society, but no formal 

 speeches were made.
