The success OF the institute is due in
large measure to the members OF

Of the arrangements, as they have been
indefatigable in bringing about that
result. Through their solicitations a
splendid exhibit Of apples, garden pro

a delightful program Of discussion and
entertainment inaped out for the prufit
and pleasure of til. visitors. By their
endeavurs the court room was hand
somely decorated for the occasion and
a full dinner provided for ali who
would accept their hospitality.
The court room was made TO present
a very pleasing appearance by the use
of flags and other decorations, and
with the dirplay of fruits ana pantry
products, which are arranged on tables
along the sides o: the room, is an ex-
tremsly interesting place now, partic-
ularly to u hungry man, and it met

The apple exhibit consisted OF $50
plates uf fruit, nearly every winter
