during the present month in the hall
on King street, but when arrange
ments to carry this project out were
initiated it was found that sufficiently
long notice to intending exhibitors
had not been given, and that the
show was in consequence not likely
to be q successful one.
The Treasurer and Secretary were
instructed to ask the Government TO
place on the estimates grant in aid
of the society. They presented
memorial to the late Minister of the
Interior, Major Gulick, who ex-
pressed himself strongly in favor of
it. A change of Administration inn
mediately following, the matter was
brought before the new Minister,
Hon. Mr.. Gibson, who entertained
the proposals very cordially and on
whose motion the Assembly granted
subsidy of 1000 in aid of the
society. With this assistance the
successors of the present Board of
Management will be in position to
carry out the objects of the society
in Il modest way, but it must depend
very greatly upon the support
awarded to them Ivy the public in
the way of subscriptions whether
/ they can offer prizes to exhibitors in
( the same liberal manner rs in the
past,
Under the circumstances. it has
not been deemed proper to collect
the subscriptions of members for
the past wear. The debt due 10 the
Treasurer for cost of removing the
hall has been partially betrayed by
voluntary subscriptions Of members
snd non-memhers. who take an in
1ersst in horticulture.
The Secretary advocated the hold
ING of q horticultural show al an
early date. Mr. +. l.. Clarke
thought if the ladies interest could
ba enlisted, the show might be s
success, and for his own part. ht
would contribute crcditAhle exhibit:
Of Hawaiian ferns. Mr.. Charles
Lucas thought horse show ought
to he combined with the horticul.
tural and floral exhibit, rs this de-
partment had attracted special at
tention on former occasions. Judge
McCully said it would be difficult to
find suitable location with sufii-
cieut room near the city for such &
show. On motion of Mr.. Giffard,
it was resolved THAT the Board OF
Management be instructed to cause
horticulture show to be held dur
ing the month of May, at the So
ciety's hall on King street.
