"Report of Committee on Fruit List." (See index.) 



Discussion. 



On motion of ]\Ir. \\'. L. Taylor the report of the committee 

 was adopted as read. 



The Secretar}- : I want to refer to a member who is known to 

 nearly every member of our society. He is a personal friend of' 

 nearly every member of our society, and we would almost be justified 

 in appointing a committee to express our regret at his absence. As 

 he is not here I think it would be courtesy to appoint a committee to 

 present resolutions of sympathy with him in his condition. He had 

 a partial stroke of paralysis. I move that a committee of three be 

 appointed by the president to draft suitable resolutions to transmit 

 to Mr. Dartt. 



The motion was put to a vote and unanimously prevailed. 



The President : I am sorry myself that for some reason Mr. 

 Dartt has not been able to be with us. His face has been familiar 

 for years in this society, and I remember years and years ago I al- 

 ways looked for Mr. Dartt, Mr. Harris and Mr. Elliot to be here. 

 I think it would do Mr. Dartt good to know that we sympathize 

 with him in his troubles. I will name as such committee Mr. O. AL 

 Lord, ]\Ir. T. E. Cashman and Mr. Seth Kenney.
