The following, rpceived from the General 

 Manager of the Bee-keepers' Union, will ex- 

 plain itself : 



I have submitted for decision by the Advisory 

 Board of the National Bee-keepers' Union as to 

 whether a vote on amalgamation shall now be 

 called for as advised in the bee- periodicals. The 

 result is that but one of the Board is in favor of 

 holding a special election for submitting- the ques- 

 tion. It will, therefore, have to lie over until the 

 annual election in January ne.xt. 



Thomas G. Newman, General Manager. 



San Diego, Cal., Aug. 20. 



C. K. HoRKiE it Co., commission merchants, 

 of Chicago, Illinois, are once more soliciting 

 consignments of honey. They were the firm 

 concerning whom so many complaints were re- 

 ceived from honey-producers last season — so 

 much so that the editors of at least three bee- 

 papers put in a word of caution. 



The editor of the Revieiv suggests that we 

 give the readers of Gleanings a photographic 

 view of our bassvvuod yard. It would be a lit- 

 tle difficult to show it up well, but I will make 

 a trial of it, anyhow.
