AQUARIUM IVOl^ ES & NEM S 



HOUSEHOLD AQUARIUM COMPETITION 



All entries for the competition for household 

 aquariums should be handed to the secretary 

 not later than the next meeting. 



Last year there was a greater number of 

 aquariums to be examined and the judges in- 

 formed the society that practically every one 

 should have received honorable mention. 



The increase in the interest in the household 

 aquarium is very gratifying, and we hope this 

 year that the number of entries will be at least 

 double that of last year. 



FAIRMOUNT PARK EXHIBITION 



Owing to the fact that there is to be a large 

 exhibition of tish in connection with the Nation- 

 al Flower Show early next year, it was generally 

 felt that there should be no show at Fairmount 

 Park this Fall, but there have been so many 

 requests to have it repeated that the Philadel- 

 phia societies have again appointed a committee 

 to handle the project. The president of the com- 

 mittee is Mr. C. A. Provost, and the secretary 

 Mr. Hiram Parker. 



Permission to use Horticultural Hall has again 

 been kindly given by the Fairmount Park Com- 

 missioners for the dates, October 30th, 3 1st and 

 November 1st. 



Owing to the probable cold weather at that 

 season it is not expected that there will be such 

 a large collection of tropical tish as last year, 

 but there should be a very good lot of goldtlsh 

 shown. 



Members should tell their friends about this 

 show and help in every way to make it another 

 big success for tne tish fanciers of Philadelphia.
