the books of the treasurer and secretary at least 

 once each year just prior to the annual meeting 

 of the Executive Board, and at such other times

It is further proposed to amend Arti- 

 cle 2, Section 3, "Duties of Officers," 

 paragraph (d), by striking out the 

 bracketed words "Audit and" in the 

 paragraph which now reads:

 charge of the funds of the society, and shall 

 pay all bills when same have been approved by 

 the president and secretary, and by the chair- 

 man of the [audit and] finance committee. . He 

 shall malje all transfers under the direction of 

 the Executive Board and shall keep a correct 

 record of receipts and disbursements, rendering 

 nn account annually to the society, the same 

 liaving been duly audited at the preceding meet- 

 ing of the Executive Board. He shall give bonds 

 in such sum as the Executive Board may from 

 time to time deem sufficient, the expenses of fur- 

 nishing such bond to be assumed by the society, 

 and shaii receive for his services such salary 

 as may from time to time be allowed by the 

 society. 



SPOETS AT WASHINGTON. 



Efforts are being made to hold a bowl- 

 ing tournament on the occasion of the 

 visit to Washington of the florists of 

 the country during the convention of 

 the S. A. F., August 16 to 18. Captain 

 William H. Ernest, of 623 K street, 

 northeast, Washington, D. C, has been 

 appointed by the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington to head a committee that will 

 make this possible. 



Captain Ernest has asked The Eeview 

 to announce that he will be glad to hear 

 from individual florists and from clubs 

 in the various cities as to whether or not 

 they would be interested in the proposal. 

 He wants to get up a list of competitors 

 as soon as possible and then set about 

 engaging the necessary alleys. Bowling 

 has always been a part of the entertain- 

 ment of visiting florists at Washington 

 conventions and has been more or less 

 successful. 



Z. D. Blackistone is also preparing for 

 a golfing tournament and is considering 

 the advisability of also liolding a shoot- 

 ing nialcli for those interested in these 

 sjiorts. Interested ])orsons should submit 

 their nnmes and \icws to him at the 

 earliest jiossiblc date. 



At a meeting of the elul) recently, A. 

 E. Gude, head of the entertainment com- 

 mittee, and J. II. Small, of J. II. Small & 

 Sons, chairman of the reception com- 

 mittee, who are working together on 

 elaborate plans, made a satisfactory re- 

 l>ort of their progress. T. N. S.
