and is given in full in this issue of 

 the Review. 



The exhibits of the evening were 

 vases of Robert Craig and Victory, 

 Senator Crane and the bright crimson 

 seedling No. 31, the last two men- 

 tioned being exhibited by Eobt C. Pye, 

 of Nyack, N. Y. Senator Crane is a 

 brilliant pink of immense size and 

 delightful fragrance, measuring three 

 and one-half to four inches in diameter 

 and received the club's certificate of 

 merit. Mr. Pye will not place this 

 variety on the market before 1908. 

 Its parentage is Lawson and Bradt. 

 The exhibit was much admired. 



Resolutions on the death of Mrs. C. 

 H. Allen were read. Six new members 

 were elected and eight proposed: 

 Messrs. McManus, Lechner, Moltz, 

 Grant, Cornett, Forrester, Salto and 

 A. J. Scott, a good beginning. 



The election of new trustees re- 

 sulted as follows: Nugent, 35; Miller, 

 19; Butterfield, 17; Kessler, 16; Lang- 

 jahr, 2. Messrs. Nugent and Miller 

 were declared elected. 



The president announced his com- 

 mittees as follows: Legislative, John 

 N. May, P. O'Mara and C. H. Allen; 

 essays, Wallace, O'Mara and Traend- 

 ly; awards, Totty, Duckham, Plumb, 

 Roehrs, Donaldson, A. J. Manda, James 

 Scott; outing, Wheeler, Shaw, Hoff- 

 meyer, Fenrich, Pepper, Weber, 

 Schultz; executive, Birnie, Lenker, 

 Jos. Manda, Hurrell, Dupuy, Butter- 

 field; house and entertainment, Nugent, 

 Koehne, Schultz; dinner, Haffner, 

 Sheridan, Weathered. 



The provisions of the house commit- 

 tee exceeded in variety any of Nu- 

 gent 's efforts in 1905. Two large tur- 

 keys from his country hatchery van- 

 ished, and only "the baseless fabric 

 of a vision" remained. 



After the recess, the subject of the 

 flower show proved of absorbing inter- 

 est. Messrs. O'Mara, Guttman, Ward, 

 Nugent, Wheeler, Pepper, Scott and 

 Wallace participated in the discus- 

 sion. Mr. O'Mara gave an exhaustive 

 resume of the exhibitions of the club 

 since its formation. There was not 



suflScient encouragement in the general 

 results to warrant much enthusiasm 

 and another venture was looked upon 

 as suicidal to the club's finances. The 

 matter was referred to the board of 

 trustees with instructions to make a 

 further report at the carnation night 

 of the club in February. The trustees 

 were also authorized to consider the 

 advisability of a show similar to the 

 one made some years ago in the News- 

 boys' home. 



The treasurer's report shows a bal- 

 ance of $1,643 in the treasury. The 

 secretary reported the addition of 

 thirty new members for the year and 

 an average attendance of sixty-two. 

 The entire expenses of the house com- 

 mittee, under Nugent 's economic man- 

 agement, totaled only $333. Votes of 

 thanks were unanimously given all the 

 old committees and the retiring trus- 

 tees and oflScers. The resignation of 

 Prof. W. G. Johnson was accepted with 

 regret. The dinner committee was 

 authorized to arrange for the club's 

 annual dinner.
