valuable private collections of paintings and curios 
in this’l^bun\ry.^'' The building itself is an architec- 
tural gem and one of the most pleasing effects was 
produced during the brief but enjoyable visit, as the 
last rays' of the low descending sun were cast 
through the stained glass windows that form one of 
the decorative features of the beautiful gallery. 
Last but not least came the banquet in the spac- 
ious banquet hall of the Hollenden, where the clos- 
ing hours of the fourteenth annual convention were 
passed in a manner long to be remembered. Cov- 
ers were laid for 125 and nearly all were taken, the 
tables Were beautifully decorated, the menu was 
tempting, the music so good as to call forth frequent 
applause and the toasts, arranged by toastmaster 
J. M. Curtiss, president of Riverside cemetery, 
brought out some very happy remarks from the 
clergy, local representative of parks and cemeteries 
and visiting guests. 
Resolutions were adopted expressing the grati- 
tude of the convention for the hospitable manner 
in which it had been entertained and to the execu- 
tive committee Messrs. Frederick Green, J. C. Dix 
and C. D. Carroll for their very successful efforts in 
behalf of the association.

Convention Notes. 
The attendance of ladies was larger than at any former 
convention. Why not organize a Ladies’ Auxilliary? 
Riding in an electric funeral car was a novel experience for 
many of the guests. 
Pittsburg and Allegheny in rgoi. 
Eight charter members were present, including the first 
president and the first secretary. 
The Bomgardner Burial Device was on exhibition at the 
convention hall. 
Stereopticon lectures should henceforth be a feature of 
each convention. Mr. Scorgie’s views of Mt. Auburn were in- 
teresting object lessons.
