Preliminary arrangements for the big fruit,

 Toronto Horticultural Society ; J. H. Dunlop, 

 T. Manton and W. H. Foord, of the Gardeners'

 getts, representing the Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion, and H. B. Cowan, representing the On- 

 tario Department of Agriculture. 



The first business included the election of 

 officers, which resulted in the appointment of 

 Mr. R. J. Score as president, J. McP. Ross as 

 vice-president; H. B. Cowan, secretary, and P. 

 W. Hodgetts, treasurer. On motion of Mr. 

 Rook, seconded by Mr. Saunders, Mr. George 

 Mills was appointed to act as the superintend- 

 ent of the floral exhibition at the time of the 

 show. It was decided it would be necessary 

 to have sub -committees. Messrs. Charles 

 Chambers, Franklind, Bunting and Dunlop were 

 appointed to act as a finance committee, and 

 Messrs. Rook, Manton, Hodgetts and Simmers 

 as an advertising and printing committee. - On 

 motion of Mr. Manton, seconded by Mr. Dun- 

 lop, it was decided that the chairmen of the 



various sub-committees must be members of 

 the general committee, but that the sub-com- 

 mittees would have power to add to their num- 

 bers. A prize list for the floral show was sub- 

 mitted and adopted on motion of Mr. Manton, 

 seconded by Mr. Foord. This prize list is pub- 

 lished in this issue. A motion by Mr. Manton, 

 seconded by Mr. Rook, was carried, instructing 

 the secretary to engage the two Church street 

 rinks for the purpose of the exhibition on the 

 terms agreed upon between the representatives 

 of the rink and the representatives of the dif- 

 ferent associations.
