| Mr.. Dali DE WeeSe was unaDle 10
be present by reason of illness and
the subject of Cherries" which had
been assigned to him, was informally
taken up by the assembled growers,
NJ e. Snow of Lincoln Park leading
the discussion. While 1t was very
generally regretted that Mr.. De Weese
could not be there to present the topic
some interesting experiences were
given by growers of that class of fruit
which will be helpful to those less
skilled in the science OF horticulture.
The last thing before the adjourn
ment of the morning session was the
appointment by President Andrews of
committees on resolutions and new
members Rev. s. F. Entorf. Thurs
ton White and n B. King were made
members OF the resolutions committee
while J p. Farmer. Glen Kirkton. J.
w Andrews and A. L. Taylor COM
posed the committee on new men,

AT 12 O'Clock recess of one hour
d
tendance might enjoy the picnic lunch
which had been spread under the d.
rection of the ladies, on the third floor
OF the court house. President And
rews asked that members of the hor-
ticultural society allow the visitors to
the institute to dine first, a request
that was scrupulously observed.
The dinner annually served by the
ladies' In connection with the institute
are enjoyable affairs. and the one at
noon Wednesday was no exception to
established rule. Coffee. sandwiches.
pickles, salads, etc, were among the
more substantial things on the bill of
fare, while pies. cake. fruits, jeilies,
etc. were to be found among the des-
serts Admission to the dining room
was by ticket and the tables were
soon filled by the guests OF the in
stitute. who were promptly and at
tentively served with all of the good
things to eat usually found in the
ranchman's larder. There seemed to
be practically no end to the stuff to
eat" and enough remained to feed a
regiment OF hungry men after the
wants of the two hundred and fifty
or three hundred people In attendance
at the Institute had been satisfied. A
great many compliments were heard
about the excellence OF the cookery
and the splendid dinner SO gracefully
served by the committee in charge of
that feature OF the institute. These
semi-public lunches draw closer the
bond of sympathy between the men,
bers OF the Fremont County Horticul
tural Society and their annual guests
and are worth every cent they cost in
developing n fraternity OF feeling be-
community.
A feature of the institute that can
not fail to interest all who attend is
the culinary display in which are
shown samples OF bread. pies, cakes,
cookies. doughnuts, etc. II gives one
an added appetite to inspect it. and is
fully up to the standard OF former
years.
