At the close of the above program, the society proceeded to select 

 a candidate to recommend to the governor for appointment as a re- 

 presentative of the society on the Minnesota State Forestry Board. 



Mr. Chas. A. Duncan of Duluth, was nominated by Mr. Wyman 

 Elliott in a highly commendatory speech, which Prof. S. B. Green 

 endorsed in seconding the nomination. There was no other nomi- 

 nation, and Mr. Duncan received the unanimous vote of the society. 



Five o'clock came all too quickly for the interesting opportunities 

 of the day and found the meeting still loth to close. 



Too much cannot be said for the very complete way in which the 

 officers and assistants at the station plan and carry out successfully 

 the arrangements necessary to entertain so large an assemblage. 

 The horticultural society owes them much for the aid they render 

 in making these memorable days so thoroughly enjoyable.
