REPORT or THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. 307 



thanks are tendered to them for their enthusiastic interest in the 

 cultivation and exhibition of flowers and the success of our 

 exhibitions. 



We would at this time call the earnest attention of the gar- 

 deners to the altered rules and prizes in the new Schedule, now 

 being revised by the Committee on Establishing Prizes, for some 

 of the alterations are of the utmost importance to exhibitors, and 

 deserve very careful attention. 



We are very happy to say that, notwithstanding the same in- 

 sufficient accommodations are in use as last year, the arrange- 

 ments of the halls have been so carefully studied and carried 

 out that no friction has occurred aud all unpleasantness has been 

 avoided. 



The amount of money which was placed at the disposal of this 

 Committee for extraordinary expenses has been judiciously ex- 

 pended, always having in view the best interests of the Society. 



The Treasurer reports the receipts for admission to the 

 Spring Show ........ ^ooo 25 



Chrysanthemum Show ...... 767 50 



Total f 1,322 75 



all of which has gone into the treasury of the Society. 



The receipts at the Chrysanthemum Show were not so large as 

 last year, although the show was verj^ much superior ; probably 

 owing to two days of storm}^ weather and inadequate accommo- 

 dations for the comfort of visitors. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



Jos. H. WOODFOED, 



Chairman.
