H/7/1918-1-

Riverside
July 2^nd 1918

On the afternoon of July 2^nd the
Horticultural Society met at Riverside.
Another beautiful afternoon for our
gathering.

Our Pres. was absent, so the chair
was filled by the Vice Pres. Alban
Thomas.

The meeting was called to order at the
appointed hour, & our chairman voiced
the sentiment of the society, when he
said we were glad to meet at River-
side, as in a way it was the "Mother"
of the Horticultural. The Ex. Sec. had
served the society for so many years,
we all look upon her as one of the
heads of the organization.

He also told us of the important
business trip (Bank business) our Pres.
had taken_ It seems the "Banks
of the Capon" needed expert inspection,
so Chas. F. Brooke and Fred Thomas
went for that express purpose. This
story sounds very fishy, but 'tis authentic!
