heartedness. With a fund of over $5,000 

 behind them, it is no wonder we were 

 overwhelmed. There were enough pleas- 

 ant memories furnished to last a lifetime, 

 and they will. 



Sergeant-at-Arms Bunyard proved to 

 be the right man in the right place, and 

 in all the trying hours of the week never 

 once lost his winning smile. The auxil- 

 iary, especially, held up his hands and 

 cheered him in his arduous task. 



The Detroit park superintendent could 

 have had the convention if he had per- 

 sisted, but he generously handed it over 

 to the genial mayor, whose victory made 

 him almost too full for utterance. 



The Canadian visitors were heartily 

 welcomed. One came all the way from 

 Winnipeg. Next year we shall expect 

 several hundred Canucks at the Falls. 

 The delegates suggested a joint conven- 

 tion — a happy thought and one likely to 

 be consummated. 



Park life in Detroit must be very fat- 

 tening. Dilger will be in the three hun- 

 dred class at the present rate of progress 

 in 1908. 



John Donaldson, one of the star bowl- 

 ers of the New York team, was shelved 

 by the heat on Thursday, or perhaps 

 New York would have lifted the cup. 



Madison had its history-making quar- 

 tette, Totty, Herrington, Duckham, 

 Schultz. Can you beat them? 



Everyone was glad to see Phil Foley 

 well and thinner. It would be a lone- 

 some convention without Phil, and his 

 side partner. Colonel Green, of Texas! 

 Everybody liked him for himself, with 

 his six feet two inches and three hun- 

 dred pounds of too solid flesh, and not 

 because he is the son of the richest wo- 

 man in the world. 



Between electioneering and expressions 

 of good will to everybody, F. H. Kramer, 

 the "Beatrice" man, only slept four 

 hours in the four days' and came up smil- 

 ing on Saturday morning, as usual. 



For the first time in his career Leuly 

 failed to bicycle to the convention. If 

 it had met in Denver, Leuly would have 

 wheeled, it sure. 



Patrick O'Mara presented the numer- 

 ous prizes after the Friday banquet in 



his inimitable way, having something 

 choice to say to every winner, especially 

 to the ladies, with whom he is such a fa- 

 vorite that he cannot concentrate his af- 

 fections on any one of them. 



Everyone missed Harry Altick, of 

 Dayton. 



John Scott came back from Europe 

 just in time for registration and when 

 votes counted. 



William Scott, of Buffalo, was well 

 represented by his handsome daughter 

 Nellie, whom everybody loves, and his 

 home-run son Robert, whose batting and 

 catching ability helped so much to 

 achieve victory for the cosmopolitans. 



The evergreen display of Bobbink & 

 Atkins was much admired. Pierson 's 

 new fern was one of the greatest novel- 

 ties in a convention which will always be 

 remembered for its surprises. 



If everybody goes to Vincent 's Har- 

 vest Home Festival and Fair, at Cowen- 

 town, on September 17, whom he invited, 

 there will be another convention. Two 

 hundred thousand square feet of glass 

 and 200,000 dahlias in over 200 varieties,
