InnOrtanf Meeting.

Those of Florin and Vicinity Hold an
Important Meeting.
There was q very large assemblage of
frlit-growers at Florin yesterday, to dis
cuss matters bearing on their interests.
The Manager OF the Fruit-Growers' Asso-
citation, David Reese, made his report
which showed q healthy and flourishing
condition of the Florin fruit-growers.
During the year $1,000 came back to the
straw berry growers, they having shipped
their berries by carloads Eastward, and
receiving very satisfactory prices for the
same.
Seventy cars of grapes were shipped to
every important city of national note
east OF the Rocky Mountains. going as
far as Boston and New York.
One grower, by way of experiment,
shipped several crates Of Tokay grapes to
London, Eng, thus proving that Florin
grapes are, as has been claimed for them,
perfection for shipping.
There are no dissenSions in the associa-
ton, therefore its success is assured.
The harmony existing proves that the
old story that farmers cannot agree, to be
fallacY.
The following Directors were elected
for the ensuing year: VIM. H. Robin
son, Thos. Davis, David Reese, J. l..
Schofield, G. Towle.
The grape receipts were reported to be
about 1000 for last year.

IN mlrth as force, factor in useful
lines. He would not have men and
women march on to eternity with a
never-ending grin upon their faces;
neltnef would be have them go through
the world with lugubrious eountenanees.
The happy medium should be his; that
warns life with mirth, makes living
worth while with humor, but which does
not make us neglect responsibilities and
grave duties. Mr.. Beard gave an anus
ing illustration of how he who is taught
in free-hand drawing might order his
dinner III strange land. On another
sheet of paper he drew a face made up
wholly OF angles and one wholly of curves,
to prove his theory of straight lines rep
resanting hardness and curved ones gen
tleness and humanity. His apostrophe
to the small boy and his mischievious
disposition was running commentary
upon the ludicrouS experiences all men
recall at the same time he illustrated the
boy and his adventure with a pitcher
and cat, amidst the loud laughter of
his audience. A number of humorous
sketches were rapidly made, and one
in which he used both hands at the same
time, each one drawing q distinct face.
one OF his best effects was the tale of his
travel in mid winter in northern cline
through desolete region. 1t was Christ
mas eve, and he was homesick. It was a
stormy evening, cheerless, cold, and the
landscape was barren md depressing
n ieaden sky, bare trees, snow-laden
earth, and in the distance a gloomy cot
tage, cold and apparently deserted, with
no sign OF life or JOY about it, AS he
talked the picture described grew beneath
his ready hand. Suddenly and with
single dash OF the crayon, light i'll a
golden flood beamed from the window
and door of the lonely dwelling. Then
association of the stime and the light
brought suggestioasof warmth, OF life, of
pleasure, of the joys of Christmas eve, of
family reunion and Christian charity and
peace and love, and the whole scene
changed losing its dreary aspect its cold
single dash of The crayon. 1t was bit of
sentimental illustration that was admira-
bic, and won the ''Chalk Tallser' hearty
applause.

a very large audience heard Frank
Beard, the caricaturist, before the Lee
ture Association, at the Congregational
Church last night, and in the midst of
almost constant laughter intespersed
his rapid work in caricature, the while he
chatted along in his ''chalk talk" with
pun and joke, and occasional flashes of
brilliant wit, and all the time with rip
pling flow of humor. Beard is man of
about forty-four, bald, angular, with a
pronounced dialect and twang in his de-
livery, without grace in gesture, or any
oratorical skill, but with nonchalance and
easy assurance and ripping humor that
make him irresistible. In his first sem
tence he invited laughter, and after that
he had no difficulty whatever in keeping
his audience in merry vein. This IS to
be said, however, he is not q lecturer, but
talker. His talk is largely of little
depth, but there are some deeps

some sharp and wen delivered

that compensate for great deal that is
merely humor of the trivial kind. He,
however, conveyed to his auditors last
night good deal of information concern
ing the caricaturists art, the value of it,
and what relation it holds to fine art. He
proved very clearly and wittily that it
demands originality, ideality and breadth

Velopment. The caricaturist's picture
must be story: it must at once give its
title and tell its tale. It must testify to
the creative faculty, and address itself to
the intelligence instantly-in a flash, as it
were. He illustrated with infinite humor
why the horizontal line represents re-
pose and the curve action: why the
sweeping and curving lines indicate
grace and freedom and pleasure. while
angles stand for rigor, coldness and hard
ness. The caricaturist half the time
starts out in his bread-and- butter work
with merely a purposeless outline, drawn
at random. This, as he views it, will
suggest the filling in of picture; the
picture will involve combination of lines.
these viii suggest story to be told
