H. M. Altick. (Chairman Committee on Sports.) Harrison Co., for Nephrolepis Leedsii; Wm, Sim, for Comet tomato; Livingston Seed Co., for improved Begonia semper- florens. Mention was also made of Carl Hagen- burger's fern; H. K. Carlton's violet, Gov. Herrick; and Frank Huntsman's aspidistras. It was pointed out that some of these awards were for exhibits which had received recognition at pre- vious conventions, and these will be omit- ted from the official record. The judges on landscape designs re- ported that the terms of the competition are too loosely defined to permit of com- parative awards; but recommend that the practice be continued at subsequent conventions and stated that on the show- ing made separate entries entitled Messrs. Scbiebe and Taylor to first awards, Schiebe and Freudenberger to second awards, and Olmsted Bros, and Freudenberger to third awards. On Thursday the judges nmde the fol- lowing additions to thd exhibits highly commended: Wertheimer Bros., Ameri- can Beauty ribbons, violet ties and lace chiffon; S. S.

Sice & Co., novelty adjustable baskets and novel birch-bark ware; H. Bayersdorfer & Co., imported toneware. Tlie Election. Thursday's interest centered in the election, although a large audience, con- sidering the intense heat, listened to the splendid papers by Irving Bertermann and William F. Gude, discussing the re- tailing of put flowers. These were pre- sented while J. G. Esler, J. F. Sullivan, Fred Meinhardt and E. G. Gillett were counting the ballots, as follows: For president, W. J.

Beatty, 246. A communication from E. Albertson asking membership accessions for the American Association of Nurserymen was referred to the executive committee. President Kasting announced the serious illness of J. V. Laver, of. Erie, Pa., at a hotel. The question box brought up the point as to whether or' not there is a distinction recognized in exhibition schedujes by the terms ,stove plant and greenhouse plant. A brisk exchange of opinion ensued, with the consensus that the matter is one for careful local defi- nition in premium lists. A question as to the policy of recognizing long lists of new cannas of no special merit Jjrought out a general discussion of the methods of registration of plant names by the society and a characterization of their inadequacy. A motion prevailed instruct- ing the appointment of a canna com- mittee to confer with the executive board and make recommendations for a change in by-laws providing for regis- tration. A discussion of a change of date of meeting was put over to the evening ses- sion, when the National Flower Show was a special order. On motion of F. H. Traendly, W. F. Kasting was named as one of the delegates to the National Council of Horticulture. The president named Eobert Craig as the other dele- gate. Walter S. Powell, of Boston, pre- sented a paper descriptive of the bureau of credit of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League and outlining the terms on which the S. A. F. can be admitted to partici- pation in the benefits. Referred to the executive committee for action. Hetroit's call for help on aster stem- rot was referred to the society's patholo- gist and the department of agriculture.

Fri- day is to be Dayton day, with trips to the cash register works and the Soldiers' Home. The Bcwlinjf, The bowling contests were held on alleys far outside the city. The team tournament was held at Fairview park, two miles north of town, and the indi- vidual contest was out toward the Sol- diers' Home and slimly attended.
