seemed to draw the best there was
from the lecturers. The reports from
the various sections of the state, We're
indeed inspiring, the work in every in
stance showing advanced positions The
very able manner i'll which the meetings
were presided over by the state president,
Miss Elizabeth Skinner, of Dunedin,

ability. The hotels of the city were do
ing their part and doing it well, and all
the delegates were loud in their praises
for good service and attention afforded
them while in the city.

certainly furnished the entire meeting
with as fine music as has ever been
enjoyed throughout any annual gather
ing of the federation. AT the first
meeting and at the reception, the local
musicians We're strengthened by two
fine artists from Jacksonville. Aside
from the first day, during the concert
on Wednesday, the music was ably
cared for by local talent. At the piano
was Mrs Lillian Sherod; violin, Mr.. Carl
Rosenbush and Miss Jackson, and the
cornet by Mr. Howard Sherod. These
musicians did splendid work, which was
highly appreciated by the delegates and
friends.
The various committees of the local
club worked like Trojans, and there is
now a certain joy in knowing their work
was appreciated. The owners of the
cars were free to give time and service
and MANY steps were saved and, burdens
lifted by the active work of this COM
mittete.
Among the local artists deserving
special mention for their part IN the
entertainment, are Mrs. j. l.. Stubbs'

beautifully. Mrs Stubbs is a gifted So
Ioist and her singing was greatly en-
joyed. Mrs. Fred Bray of this city, was
