ciation, September 2 to 4. There was 

 marked enthusiasm over the exhibits, 

 which were most artistically displayed, 

 ferns and palms being used as a back-

 of the dahlias. Many devotees of the 

 dahlia attended every day's exhibit. 

 The gate receipts amounted to $2,301.

 D. Pelicano, for the best general dis- 

 play for effect; to Mrs. Jessie Seal, for 

 the most meritorious display; to J. W. 

 Davios and Mrs. H. T. Hennig. Frank
