i Society's Mtating. 



The regular monfnl^meeting of the 

 Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural 

 Society was held in the society's rooms 

 in Doran's hall, Friday evening, Au- 

 gust 13, with President Sealey in the 

 chair. The attendance was good, al- 

 though not so large as usual, owing, 

 no doubt, to the extreme heat. The 

 only exhibit was a specimen plant of 

 Torenia Fournieri grandiflora, shown by 

 Owen A. Hunwick, who was accorded 

 honorable mention. 



The fall show of the society will be 

 held at Stamford, Conn., November 5 

 and 6. Letters were read from several 

 good friends of the society, offering 

 substantial prizes for the premius) list. 

 The outing committee made its final 

 report and was discharged, with a vote 

 of thanks. Messages were read from 

 several members of the society en route 

 to the Pacific coast to attend the ex- 

 position. All reported having a pleas- 

 ant journey. 



The next meeting will be held Sep- 

 tember 10, when a fine showing of sea- 

 sonable flowers will be expected.

ly number of members of the florists' 

 trade, including representatives of the 

 trade press, formed a large and happy 

 party, which was further augmented by 

 the addition of a large delegation from 

 the Tarrytown society. The day was 

 ideal and the various games and ath- 

 letic events went off with a swing, 

 starting at 10:30 a. m. 



An excellent shore dinner, served by 

 the hotel management, was a feature. 

 After dinner the amusing pastime of 

 "breaking the flower pots" was in- 

 dulged in. This was followed by the 

 tug of war between representatives of 

 Westchester and Fairfield counties. 

 Fairfield county won. The winners in 

 the other events, which continued un- 

 til sunset, were as follows: 



Quoit match, between Westchester nn»l Fair- 

 fleUl — Won by Westchester, 23 to 18. 



Wheelbarrow race — Neil Mclnnes and Colin 

 Altcheson. first; Wm. Whittin ami Alex. Clark 

 son, second.
