The fifty-first annual report of the Lowell Ceme- 
tery, Lowell, Mass., a copy of which has been re- 
ceived, contains a list of the trust fund lots, giving 
name of lot owner, amount and date of deposit, 
outlay for 1893 and condition of account on March 
I, 1893. The fund amounts to $50,274, with about 
400 lots under care. The publishing of such infor- 
mation commends itself to cemetery officials as a 
means of stimulating interest in the trust fund. 
The Flartman Manufacturing Co. inform us that 
a large number of their hitching postshave been in- 
troduced into cemeteries. The post is made of tubular 
steel with an ornamental cap and is provided with an 
anchor that insures permanency if properly set. A 
wrought steel chain with spring snap is attached to 
each post. The manufacturers c'aim that this is the 
cheapest, neatest and best hitching post made and in- 
vite correspondence with cemetery officials in refer- 
ence to them and their other cemetery specialties. 
In his contribution on the Water Works ot Oak- 
wood Cemetery, Red Wing, Minn., published on 
another page, Mr. Densmore makes a suggestion 
in the opening paragraph, the value of which we 
have tried time and again to impress upon our 
readers. These columns are open to all cemetery 
officials for a discussion of methods, description of 
buildings or improvements of any nature. Brief ar- 
ticles on any subject of general interest are cor- 
dially solicited. 
The Lord & Burnham Co., builders of conser- 
vatories, green houses, etc., at Irvington-on-Hud- 
son, N. Y., have an exhibit at the World's Fair, 
which they would be pleased to have cemetery offi- 
cials visit while taking in the Fair. It is situated 
on the west side of the Horticultural Building a 
short distance from the 60th St. entrance. 
Visitors to the World’s Fair who may be inter- 
ested in the subject of monuments are invited to 
visit the office of the Smith Granite Co., at 104 Pull- 
man Building, on Adams St. Owing to the great 
strike that prevailed throughout New England last 
year in the granite industry this company was oblged 
to forego making an exhibit at the P'air, but Mana- 
ger Young has plenty of fine work in the cemeteries 
around Chicago and a great collection of artistic de- 
signs that he will be pleased to show intending pur- 
chasers who may favor him with a call.
