The management was in new hands this year and the infusion of youthful energy has had its usual result. The chairman of the executive committee is A. Henderson, the secretary, N. P. Miller, with August Poehlmann han- dling the funds. Guy W. French is manager, his first experience, but he has proved himself well fitted for the difficult task. The press work has been exceptionally good, in the hands of H. B. Kennicott, Robert Brenton and K. M. Patterson. The VisitOTS.

On the day of the opening, 10,000 people passed through the turnstiles. The Museum of Art, which was se- cured for the occasion, was handsome- ly decorated, the main entrance and lobby being trimmed with southern smilax and large banks of palms and crotons. To the right and left of the main entrance the wholesale florists had their exhibits of chrysanthemums, pompous, carnations and roses. Here the choicest of these blooms, staged in groups of twenty-flve, made an excel- lent showing and display. Many new varieties were among those exhibited and the visitors certainly wondered at the size and perfection of the large- flowering chrysanthemums.
