TALENT-SOME SPECIALLY
FINE DISPLAYS.

The preparations were very nearly all
completed last night for the autumn floral
exhibition which is to open in Maple and
Marble halls in the Palace Hotel at l P NJ
to-day. This is the twelfth semi-annual
show and the sixth chrysanthemum exhi-
bition. 1t is the second demonstration of
the possibilities of Horticulture which has
been given in the Palace Hotel the rose
show of last spring being the first. Secre-
tary Emory E. Smith of the State Floral
Society said yesterday that fully 5000 per-
sons visited the spring exhibition.
This is to be distinctively chrysanthe-
mum show. The liking of flowers" is to
be there in royal profusion and in all col
ors for three days.
Professor E. ]. Wickson of Berkeley,
president of the State Floral Society, took
a look at the preparations during the after
noon yesterday.
Secretary Smith of the society is chair
man OF the exhibition committee. He is
professor of horticulture at Stanford Uni
versity. Mrs. s. F. SWEET of Alameda is
secretary of this committee, and the other
members are Mrs. Austin Sperry, Mrs.
Ellen A. Cross and Mrs. Q. D. Baldwin.
The last-named lady has had charge of the
work of preparing the musical programme
for each of the three evenings.
ITO avoid the crush we had at the
spring show" Secretary Smith remarked,
1.-The committee has secured the big recep-
tion-room adjoining Marble Hall, which
will afford the ladies a chance to rest. We
will have our musical programme given
there in the evenings. We are also ar
ranging for tea and refreshments for our
visitors. Everything, you know, about
this exhibition is free. The object of the
exhibition is to elevate the public taste in
matters OF Horticulture We think our
halls are arranged much more conveniently
than anything we ever had before"
1t was Professor Smiths belief that this
exhibition would pull the Floral Society
out of debt entirely and set it's finances
ahead several hundred dollars besides.
