CONVENTION ECHOES. 



Billy Kasting's big heart is always 

 overflowing. He collected over $400 on 

 the Dale special train in behalf of the 

 wife and family of the old favorite, 

 Jimmie Hartshorne. 



The exhibition hall was chilly for hu- 

 mans, but just right for the flowers, all 

 of which kept perfectly to the close. The 

 hospitals were gladdened by the distribu- 

 tion of the exhibits on Friday. 



Pierson's mirror decoration of Winscr 

 and Elegantissima was greatly admired. 

 It reflected credit upon the artist brought 

 all the way from New York to construct 

 it. 



The bridal chamber fell to Messrs. 

 Young and Traendly at the Queens. 

 The decorations on Friday morning, 

 shown only to a few of the elect, were 

 chaste and unique and so in keeping 

 with the artistic ability of these demon- 

 strative deacons. The consultations in 

 these parlors lasted until nearly day- 

 light and were participated in by many 

 of the bright lights of the convention. 



The Toronto ladies were unanimously 

 voted the "princesses of entertainers" 

 and they were as handsome and healthful 

 as enthusiastic. 



Many of the familiar faces were missed 

 because of illness, none more than that 

 of William Scott, of Buffalo. 



There was a touch of political e.xpert- 

 ncss in the caucus and primary work in 



behalf of Washington that manifested 

 the practiced art of the adept, but there 

 will be a great show and a big crowd at 

 the next convention. We will miss the 

 delightful 15 degrees below zero weather, 

 however, and .everybody wants to go to 

 Canada again and no one will regret how 

 soon the day. 



Harry Altick loses none of his enthu- 

 siasm in behalf of McKinley day. 



The long trip of J. A. Valentine and 

 his lieutenants from the Rockies shows 

 the right spirit; the enthusiasm that 

 makes conventions worth while. While 

 in the east these gentlemen will color the 

 great white way and visit New York, 

 Boston and Philadelphia growers. 



Peter Crowe has trained down to under 

 300 pounds, but still holds the medal for 

 good nature and corporosity. Canada 

 had nothing to compare with him. 



Those who take a little something for 

 their stomachs' sake were taken aback 

 to find all medicinal centers closed at 11 

 o'clock and all lights out at 12 o'clock. 

 Everybody has to be good in Toronto. 

 The snow typifies the character of the 

 inhabitants. 



John Dunlop was radiant with delight 

 and his smile went away back as far as 

 the eye could reach; and the merriment 

 in Tom Manton's eyes never failed an 

 instant. 



W. J. Lawrence and his song birds 

 made abundant melody. A better pro- 

 gram of song and speech never graced a 

 carnation banquet. 



One man from the east made it his 

 honeymoon trip, but the name takes up 

 too much space and you will have to 

 guess it. 



P. Beuerlein, of Long Island, slept in 

 his fur cap, as usual. He was the only 



Pete 



never 



kicker against the climate, 

 could stand the cold."
