 and without the knowledge of the Committee of Arrangements. 



Ansel Lakin, — A fine basket of fruit, consisting of Pears : three varie- 

 ties ; Peaches : three vari(;ties ; Lombard Plums ; Native Grapes Mr. L.

 Nameless.

 Winkfield. This latter grows equally well as a standard or a dwarf. CoL
