While at Tolchester, which is Balti- 

 more's Coney Island, J. K. M. L. Far- 

 quhar called the crowd together to lis- 

 ten to a little speech he wished to make 

 in presenting a chest of silver to Pres- 

 ident and Mrs. Asmus. It was the gift 

 of the S. A. F. members, and Mr. As- 

 mus responded suitably, saying in con- 

 clusion that he was delighted that the 

 convention was going to Chicago next 

 year, and that then he hopes to greet 

 everybody in his home town. He called 

 on B. Vincent, Jr., the president-elect, 

 for a speech and that popular gentle- 

 man expressed his appreciation of the 

 honor done him. 



Later in the day Mr. Vincent chose a 

 time when the crowd was largely to- 

 gether to present a silver loving cup 

 to Robert L. Graham, president of the 

 Baltimore Gardeners' and Florists 'Club. 

 It came from the members in recogni- 

 tion and appreciation of the magnifi- 

 cent way he, as head of the club, had 

 handled the preparation for and con- 

 summation of one of the most enjoy- 

 able conventions in the whole history 

 of the 8. A. F. 



Supper was served on the steamers. 



returning to the city at 10 p. in. after 

 a sail on the bay.
