Club Banquet. 



The annual dinner of tiie Florists' 

 Club, March 17, at which the Rose So- 

 ciety visitors were present, was a great 

 success. Nearly 300 were in attendance, 

 including many ladies. The early recep- 

 tion crowded the halls and room pro- 

 vided to overflowing. The big dining- 

 room was none too large for the crowd, 

 and the happy arrangement of the tables 

 and the grouping of friends added to the 

 general harmony. The decorations were 

 (luite elaborate, every table having an 

 abundance of orchids, roses or carnations. 

 Large quantities of wild smilax on the 

 walls and pillars added to the charming 

 effect. The Sunday World declared that 

 the decorations represented an outlay of 

 .$10,000 and published the photos of the 

 leading oflScials of the club. The dinner 

 itself was excellent and there was much 

 exhilaration on the side. The acoustic 

 properties of the big room are not per- 

 fect and it required a stentorian voice 

 to reach the limit. Next year the club 

 will doubtless try the Astor. "Going 

 up" seems to be its watchword. The 

 program was an extensive one and thb 

 artists and speakers all fulfilled expecta- 

 tions. Messrs. Craig, Manda, Pierso-p, 

 Poehlmann, Connell and Miller were thb 

 orators of the night. P. O'Mara was ^ 

 great success as toastmaster and splen- 

 did songs and music were furnished by 

 Misses Dorsell, Pollock and Bamett, antl 

 Messrs. Brante, Kelly, Hayes and Master
