minutes before dinner time. The
plan took nicely, and the business
thrived beyond the dealers ezpeota,
hop. He will continue the trade an d
will deliver cool melons to all appli.
cants at any hour desired. On yester.
day he sent several delicious speci.
mems to number Of his friends,
and among Others one reached thiG Of.

also sent hne one TO the Cotton Ex-
change, and this is what Mr.. La Hache.
the assistant secretary, says about it :
I'VE had the pleasure of cutting Mr.
Victor d. Fuchs huge melon into
about % liberal sized slices, and spread
it around the future room, where the
members soon gathered, one person Cor
each slicp, and the ioaat Was highly
enjoyed BY every participant After
removing the debris. the members
we're called to order by Vice Presi

with the watermelon trade, but as be
