addition to the evenings enjoyment.
And now the master Of the preten-
tious looking charts took the floor in no
less person than DR.. Otto Lugger, of the
state experimental station, who was to
deliver lecture on carnivOrOuS plants.
The doctor had carefully prepared
lecture, that delved deep into the de-
tails of great interest to all present, be-
cause of the novelty of the subject. To
be sure. the plants described were ma
tiveS of tropical regions, but it served
as recreation to the men and women
who have been studying such strictly
practical subjects for the past three
days. The lecture was scholarly to the
extreme, and showed that the gentle
man was more than lightly educated in
botonical science.
Miss Lizzie Smith delivered the reci-
tation, "Asleep at the Switch,'' in a
commendable manner, and succeeded in
waking up the drowSy ones, who had
succumbed to natures demands during
the more tedious part OF the programme.
The motion was carried to make the
order of business in the morning the
providing of means to induce the legis-
lature to appropriate sufficient sum
for the founding of horticultural lnstl-
tuteS.
