fed that if a public appeal were made
many subscriptions would be got He /
had himself received many promises, |
and so also had other members OF the /
Board.
Mr.. +. L. Clarke adverted to the Sec
retary's remark that during his time no |
horticultural show had been held but !
older residents would remember that
such had been held. He had little !
doubt that the ladies OF Honolulu would
be very glad to assist in making a show
a success. His experience in the past
warranted the expectation that a very
interesting and beautiful show might be
got up. He had made a special point
of Hawaiian ferns which he would be
glad to exhibit.
The question of holding stock show
having been preached, the Chairman
said the Board had come to the conclu-
sion that it would not be practicable to
hold that and the horticulture show at
the same time and place.
bIr. w. NJ. Giffard moved ''That the
Board OF Management be instructed to
cause a horticulture show to be held
during the month of May at the society's
hall on King street"
Mr. Charles Lucas seconded the prop
osition, which was carried.
The Secretary asked if that resolution
would debar the holding of a stock show.
The mover said he would be glad to
! see a stock show, and it was decided
that it did not.
! The election of officers was then pro-
ceeded with, His Majesty the King being
! permanent President.
The Secretary nominated the Hon. L.
| McCully as Vice President.
The Chairman said he would rather
Mr.. Cleghorn continued in that position,
especially as he was a horticultural
man. He would prefer to decline, but
was willing to act on the Board of Man
agement.
A ballot was then taken, the Hon. A.
s. Cleghorn receiving Z votes, and the
Hon. L. McCully 3.
Mr.. S. Nj. Damon was reelected Treas
urer, and Mr.. J. S. Webb, Secretary
with the unanimous approval of the
meeting.
The Board of Management was also
reelected with similar unanimity. II
consists of the Hon J.. McCully, Mr.
r. F. Bickerton, DIR. McKibbin, Mr.
Charles Lucas, Mr.. w. NJ. Giffard and
Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;.
a conversation followed, in the course
of which it was elected that on a former
occasion the show had been the means
of selling certain stock which would mo-
otherwise have been sold, ond that there
would be more interest evinced by resi-
dents of the other islands if a stock show
were held.
Captain Ross moved, ''That we rec
ommend that live stock show be helC
in May"
Mr.. Charles Lucas seconded the reso
luton. Carried
The Chairman said he felt encouraged
, at the result of the meeting, considering
the lethargic state of the society in thu
past He would be glad to hear any
thing more.
Further conversation ensued relativ
to draught stock, and it was the opinion
of the meeting that while it was not de
, sirable to exclude imported draugh
} stock the Hawaiian-bred should have
r classification, which it did not last time
doubtless owing to an oversight.
= The Chairman said he wished to EN-
: phasize the idea that the Board of Man
agement did not intend to give SO man
silver medals in the future. He though
it would be more satisfactory to have tn
highest a bronze medal.
