week by the Brookland Brotherhood, 

 at Brookland, D. C, Jws been postponed 

 until October 8 and^, because of the 

 rainy weather. This affair is being 

 looked forward to with a great deal 

 of interest by the residents of that sec- 

 tion, 



W. F. and Adolphus Gude were the 

 week-end guests of John Westcott at 

 his summer home at Barnegat Bay, 

 N. J. 



The Board of Trade, at its «ext meet- 

 ing, will again take up the matter of 

 better fire protection for the business 

 houses in the downtown district. They 

 advocated the installation of the high 

 pressure water gy^tem last year, but 

 met with defeat at the hands of the 

 commissioners of the District of Colum- 

 bia, who would not sanction the ex- 

 penditure of the ' necessary amounts, 

 possibly because of the fact that the 

 installation would have little effect on 

 present insurance rates. The local trade 

 wants the system established, regard- 

 less of any of these reasons.

While the annual dahlia shows of the 

 last five years, ^eld by K. Vincent, Jr., 

 & Sons Co., have been a credit to the 

 firm, the one September 24 to 28 was 

 the most elaborate yet attempted. The 

 indoor exhibitifllii Was set up in a i^rt 

 of the large packing shed and covered 

 a floor space 40 x 100 feet, there being 

 upwards of 50,000 flowers along each 

 side, so arranged as to conceal the wall. 

 There was a continuous bank of dahlias 

 ninety feet long and six feet high, set 

 up in 10-quart galvanized buckets 

 which were hidden by oak foliage. The 

 blooms were in solid blocks of one kind, 

 six feet long, so staged" as to bring out 

 the contrasting colors. Thirty different 

 varieties were staged in this way. 



The center table was covered with 

 boards in a pyramid shape, pot flats 18 

 X 24 inches were filled with moss, and 

 shott'Stemnied dahlias were stuckj in 

 them, one variety in a box. They were 

 then set up edgeways on the staging, 

 which required 120 boxes to cover it.
