SATURDAY, MAY 6 th, 1893. 
She Royal Gardeners’Orphan Fund.— 
We hardly know whether to rejoice or 
to weep over the result of the recent dinner 
in aid of this Fund. Last j'ear, it will be 
remembered, under the presidency of so 
popular and genial a chairman as Sir James 
Whitehead, Bart., M.P., the subscription- 
list amounted to the sum of £1,000, whilst 
this year the collection fell to £"550, and 
would have been less than that amount by 7 
the sum of £"100 but for the generosity of 
Messrs. Hurst & Son, who gave a donation 
of this amount to commemorate the jubilee 
of the establishment of their firm. The 
total amount of the subscription-list of 
course represents a serious deficiency, and 
if not made up from other sources must 
materially affect the number of children 
that can be elected next year. 
But it was said last year, and perhaps 
with some truth, that the obtaining of so 
large a sum at the dinner would militate 
against the securing of help in other 
directions. It is feared that to some extent 
that was the case, as there was an 
undoubted falling off in annual subscrip¬ 
tions, though not largely. Still that ought 
not to be, and so far from there being a 
falling off the amounts subscribed should 
be in the ascending scale annually.' In 
anv case this year the committee can make 
a more forcible appeal to the gardeners of 
the kingdom for greater help, on the ground 
that the proceeds of the recent dinner 
leaves a serious deficiency over the income 
received through the same source last year. 
We do not want 10 see those who are 
already regular contributors called upon to 
make this deficiency good. We want to see
