lie callcti "mood music" and the ob.jcc-t 

 of the oxpi'rimeiit was to see the eflfeet 

 of musie on the particular mood which 

 vou happened to be in. 



Mrs. Irinfj had another game which 

 was amusing. 'At each member's place 

 there was a small slip of paper on 

 whicii each one was to write a question 

 and August Baunier was to attempt 

 to answer it. Some of the questions, 

 however, were too much for liim, but he 

 did well, considering what these ques- 

 tions were. 



After the meeting was adjourned, the 

 members were invited to stay, if it was 

 their wish, and hear some of the records 

 that Mr. McDonald had brought with 

 him. Most of the members took ad- 

 vantage of this and enjoyed it much 

 indeed. 



Everyone went home ])r()mising to at- 

 tend the next meeting and to bring a 

 new member with him. At this rate 

 there ought to be almost 200 in attend- 

 ance at the next ban(|uet. K. (<. R. 



NEW YORK CLUB ELECTS. 



Well Attended Meeting. 



The annual election of the New York 

 Florists' (Mub was lield in the club's 

 (piarters in the Engineering Societies' 

 building, Monday evening, December 12. 

 The assembly numbered about 200 mem- 

 bers. President Hendrickson presided, 

 and regular business was given an im- 

 petus, in order to allow plenty of time 

 for the election, which embodied spir- 

 ited competition for the various offices, 

 with the exception of those of secretary 

 and treasurer, in which the club has 

 realized it is well served by the present 

 incumbents, and for which no nomina- 

 tions were made. 



After the reading of the minutes of 

 the, I)revious meeting, Paul Rigo, chair- 

 man of the committee on transportation 

 to the Kansas City convention of the 

 S. A. F., presented an itinerary of travel 

 within a circle prescribed by Kansas 

 City as the limit, and another itinerary 

 which had Yellowstone park as its ob- 

 jective. On motion of A. L. Miller, the 

 jiian for the smaller itinerary was ac- 

 ce|)teil and the committee was author- 

 ized to jjroceed in the work of organiza- 

 tion of a party within the prescribed 

 limits. 



A. T. l)e lia M;nc presented .-i rei)ort 

 as chairni.-in of the good of the club coiii- 

 iiiittee, reconinieiiding certain innova- 

 tions to be worked out, which, on mo- 

 tion of Si'cret.'iry Young, was ordered 

 received and the recommendations 

 ado])ted. Mr. De La Mare also, as chair- 

 man of thi> committee on revision of the 

 club's by-laws, ](resented a rejiort, 

 whicli was ordered laid over for discus- 

 sion at a subsequent meeting. 



On motion of ('. R. Weathered, these 

 committees were given a hearty vote of 

 thanks, the mover seeing himself free 

 to comment on the fact that seldom was 

 committee work better presented tlian 

 in these cases, where ty])ewritten for- 

 mula' were presented to the members for 

 consideration. 



.\rtliur Ilerringtoi, for the flower 

 show committee, reported j)rogress. In 

 spite of the handicap, he said, due to the 

 uncertainty of the Grand Central Palace 

 l>eing available for next spring's show, 

 the certainty of it found the committee 

 in no way unprepared, and a better show 

 than its predecessors was/insured. Tlie 

 big group feature, he said, was more

 the direction of the club in the matter

 the views of the gathering, w;is referred 

 to the proper quarter.
