EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
The governor yesterday received an
invitation to deliver the opening ad
dress at the San Antonio fair.
He also received the following let
ter which is of interest to the people
of Austin.
DENIsoN, Tex, October %, 1889.
Governor l.. s. Ross, Austin, Tex:
Sir-In February next the American
Horticultural society will hold its
biennial meeting in Texas The place
of meeting is not yet appointed. Its
selection was left with the executive
board by motion made at the River
side meeting in California.
Owing to the society having receiv-
ed very cordial invitation from you
to attend the dedication of the state
capitol the officers have been favor
ably inclined to hold the next meet
ing in Austin, provided the horticul-
turalists and citizens offer such facili-
ties for entertainment and place of
meeting as such national society
should receive.
The society has an active member
ship among the leading horticulturists
of the United States, numbering
nearly 800. At least one-half of this
number is expected to- attend the
Texas meeting.
1t is expected of me as one of the
executive board residing in the state
to take initial steps toward securing a
suitable place of meeting.
Though Dallas and Fort Worth are
very anxious to have the meeting
with them, we feel that we owe it to
the society, to Texas, to the capital
and her governor to give the capital
the first bid for this important con-
vention.
Customarily it is expected that To-
cal committee of the place in which
the meeting is to be held will secure a
suitable hall for meetings (if permissa-
BILE hall in the capital would be
most graciously acceptable to the So
ciety). Also an exhibition of horti-
cultural products, which III the nature
of things will be chiefly local at this
season, sbut could be added to con-
siderably from the southern portion
of the state.
| shall correspond with Commits
sioner Foster and oilers OF the city,
hoping to have responses from and
most favorable propositions for the
meeting. Very respectfully,
F. V. MORRISON,
Vice President American horticultural
Society.
