 ton. (See index.)

The regular program was concluded with the "lantern show" 

 by Prof. S. B. Green, a display of interesting pictures he had 

 taken of scenes in the pines and of the homes and faces of our 

 friends, etc. Appropriate descriptions of the various pictures^ 

 accompanied them. It was a fitting conclusion of a most happy 

 occasion. 



On motion of Secretary Latham, Mr. J. C. Kramer, of La 

 Crescent, was made an honorary life member of the society. 



Being called upon, Mrs. Meredith, the preceptress at the 

 School of Agriculture, responded: 



Mr. President: I want to congratulate this horticultural so- 

 ciety on their courage. While Mr. AUard was going through 

 the Indian club exercise it did not strike me as very strange 

 what he was doing, but what impressed me most forcibly was 

 that the people sitting over there appeared to have no fear. 

 Think of the consequences if he had let one of those clubs fly. 

 (L^aughter.) 



In regard to our school of young ladies, I want to say only 

 this, we have this kind of a time all the time, and if you come 

 over there you will get a share of it. (Laughter and ap- 

 plause. ) 



Adjourned sine die.
