452 THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



property of the exhibitor. The gold medal will cost $50.00 or more, and the 

 silver medal $20.00, so that exhibitors will have something worth striving 

 for if they are successful in showing a winning exhibit. The medals will 

 be hexagonal in shape and will bear an appropriate design. As the compe- 

 tition is open to all beekeepers, members of the Michigan Affiliated Bee- 

 keepers' Association, we shall be pleased to furnish particulars of the classes 

 to any beekeeper desiring to put up an exhibit. Class premiums will also be 

 given. 



Besides the banquet and medals, there will be an excellent program, this 

 will be international in character, and includes some of the best known bee- 

 men in America. A glance will show beekeepers that there is an opportunity 

 to meet these men that may not occur again for many years and one that would 

 be a folly to miss. 



The headquarters and meeting place will be the Eagle Hotel. This hotel 

 is centrally located and can be reached as follows: — From Lake Shore and 

 New York Central depots take Butterworth and Monroe car to hotel, from 

 Kalamazoo or Holland interurban stations, walk half block to Monroe Avenue, 

 then three blocks to Mai"ket Avenue and hotel. From Muskegon interurban 

 alight at Monroe and Market avenues and walk talf block to hotel. From the 

 Union depot, hotel is three blocks north to Louis street, then two blocks west 

 to hotel. Rates are $1.00 and up per night, two in room $1.50 and up. This 

 year the Northei'n Michigan Beekeepers' Association are meeting with us.
