7U 



the necessity of providing more enter- 

 tainment for the members, in the shape 

 of essays or lectures, in order to assure 

 a still larger attendance. 



A vote of thanks was extended William 

 Brown for his services rendered the club 

 as chairman of the entertainment com- 

 mittee; the success of the outing was 

 ■ mostly due to his efforts. 



A motion was made to hold the meet- 

 ings at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 cnange, and on a rising vote being 

 taken, it was decided to do so after the 

 expiration of the present quarter, Oc- 

 tober 1. The Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change has very kindly turned over a 

 large room in its quarters to the use of 

 the club, light, heat and all being free of 

 charge. 



Detroit to Dayton* 



At the club's last meeting the mem- 

 bers were urgently, requested to attend 

 the coming convention. The fare for the 

 round trip being only $5.80, every one 

 can aflford to and should attend ; in fact, 

 we owe it to our brethren in Dayton to 

 turn out in large numbers, as they have 

 made a special effort to have this meet- 

 ing outclass all others. 



In procuring tickets do not fail to 

 ask for the certificate entitling you to 

 a return trip at one-third the regular 

 rate. This certificate, after being vali- 

 dated by the S. A. F, secretary, is good 

 to return thfee days after the conven- 

 tion, not including Sunday. 



The bulk of the delegation of about 

 twenty-five from Detroit will leave on 

 the 12:35 noon train, Monday, August 

 20, over the C, H. & D., arriving at 

 Toledo at 2:10 p. m., and due at Day- 

 ton at 6 p. m., and will make their 

 headquarters at the Phillips Hotel. 



Various Notes.

 meyers' Mt. Clemens place, burning four 

 horses and destroying a large, practical-

 a three weeks' siege of sickness.
