The first talk was given following a business men’s banquet at 6 p.m. and the second to a mixed audience 3 in the Veterans’ Star Theatre at 18 O‘CIOCk. Dr. Bennett, who is president of the St. Thomas - Horticultural So- ciety, a position he has held for the past sixteen years, is also president of the Horticultural Society of Am- erica and is a noted authority on flowers and shrubs. His talk last night was along the lines of town beautifying, and during the course of his address, many slides were shown of ditferent flowers and shrubs, as well as street scenes in St. Thomas showing how the rail-l road yards and tracks of that city had been transformed from weed beds to beauty spots. .St. Thomas, Dr. Bennett said, had the distinction of having the largest Horticultural Society not in On- tario, but in the whole of America. There were about 2,200 members whose contributions annually ran up in some instances to $25 each. He strongly urged that the society was a man’s society and said that in St. Thomas the executive board was composed of men entirely, they be- ing selected from all branches of business in the city. He said the growing of flowers was a most in- teresting work and the man who gave the most enjoyed it more than the man who gave_the__least. Everywhere in St. Thomas beau- tiful flowers axe to be seen, and the cit3 has a continental reputation for the 1~xcellence of its bloom. The banquet was attended by about. forty of the business men. and the theatre was. comfortably filled with :m intvrv‘stml audivnce who \‘iPWed with dvlight. the many views shown. The Horticultural Society is to be congratulated. both for the banquet they served on such short notice and for the privilege they accorded the citizens to listen to one of the lead- ing horticulturists of the North Am- erican continent. It is quite possu- ble that following this address. a drive will be put on for membership. which in all probability will meet with good success. Ian’s Banqdot.

Sharpe, and together they shared in all the joys incidental to home life for over 43 years. She looked forward to her jubilee year, but this has been cut short.

WEEK-END THAW PLAYED HAVOC WITH SLBIGHING Roads Generally Getting Thin, Numerous Bare Spots. J W“ to. The moeting unanimously carried a vow of thanks to the retiring board. The belated annual January thaw arrived last week-end and, with warm weather, and a heavy. warm rain. the snow on the roadside and in the fields was reduced consider- ably. The sleighing, as a conse- quence, is quite “catchy" at pres- ent. with numerous bare spots on the road. A small fall of snow, however. would sooon remedy this and give us possibly the best sleigh- ing_of_the season. _ While the hack-hone of winter is undoubtedly broken. spring is not here by any means. and we may ex- pect quite a lot of cold. blustery weather during March and April. Taken on the whole. the winter. while not particularly severe, has been a steady one. and quite a lot of fuel was required since the first of December. After four weeks' more. however, we may look for spring, sunny warm days and warm Agril showers.” Last. night the weather tank a sudden change and gre 4' much cold- er.

So good was it. in fact. that the judge. J. .l. Dufl‘us of Peter- borough, said that the worst plough- ing done by the, Egremont competi- tors was much better than the worst done two weeks previously at the big Provincial match at Brampton. and in the whole competition, there was none that could ho classed as bad ploughing.
