are all private gardeners, but how their 

 names have changed! The leaders of 

 antebellum days are absent. In their 

 place are the representatives of a new 

 floral aristocracy, advanced through war 

 munitions, chemicals and the like. 



Precisely at the moment set for com- 

 mencing, David Bust ascended the plat- 

 form. He said: "Ladies and gentle- 

 men, our presiding officer has not ar- 

 rived, 80 we will dispense with the busi- 

 ness session. Mr. Thilow will deliver 

 his lecture on the "Life and Vegetation 

 of the Hawaiian Islands." 



J. Otto Thilow took his place by the 

 speaker's desk. He gave one of those 

 talks that have delighted his hearers at 

 so many gatherings, following with a 

 series of lantern slides taken on his 

 trip to the islands in the Pacific. The 

 meeting adjourned immediately after 

 the close of the lecture. 



The sale of the ground formerly oc- 

 cupied by Horticultural hall has made 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 extremely wealthy. The society's office 

 is at 606 Finance building, on South 

 Penn square. Its aim is to advance the 

 interests of horticulture through lec- 

 tures and through exhibitions at which 

 liberal prizes are offered. Dayid Bust 

 is secretary. 



Tlie Dinner. 



It was a red-letter evening; one of 

 those happy occasions that will long be 

 remembered with a thrill of pleasure. 

 It was George Washington's birthday. 

 It was also John Westcott's birthday, 

 or at least George Watson and Ed Fan- 

 court said it was, though it is strongly 

 suspected that the record in the West- 

 cott family Bible points to the happy 

 event as having occurred in December 

 and not in February. But never mind;

what Ed Fancourt says ought to go, for 

 he did a lot of hard work in preparing 

 for this birthday party. Fully fifty of 

 John Westcott's friends were at Doon- 

 er's to greet the Commodore and give 

 him a fine birthday party, just as fine 

 as fine could be. The Commodore 

 seemed pleased. No wonder; it is not 

 everybody who has such a birthday 

 party. The fact that it was shared with 

 George only added luster. 



The men who gave the dinner party 

 were the elite of the profession. A. B. 

 Cartledge presided. Eobert Craig was 

 toastmaster. Dr. Lane was the first 

 speaker. He presented the guest of 

 honor with a handsome gold watch as a 

 token of regard, just so he could not 



forget the evening. As though he couldf 

 No, the Commodore is not that sort. 



Then followed a galaxy of stars of 

 which any gathering might be proud, 

 William F. Gude responded to the toast, 

 "Our Country." "Our City" was D. 

 C. Donahue's theme. Charles H. Totty 

 ably replaced the absent Patrick O 'Mara 

 with an address on "Horticulture." 

 Charles H. Grakelow replied to "Our- 

 selves; Who Are Like Usf" J. Otto 

 Thilow told of "The Palmy Days." 

 Samuel S. Pennock read a poem entitled 

 ' ' King John, ' ' written expressly for the 

 occasion by Mrs. Pennock. Charles L. 

 Seybold spoke of "Bygone Days." 

 Eobert Kift sang an original song of 

 his own composition and Charles F.
