NEWMAN, Editof. and Proprietor, International Convention. In reference to the holding of an International Convention, Exposition, and Bee and Honey Show, at New Orleans, La., next winter, Mr. Wm. Williamson, of Lexington, Ky., re- marks as follows: It has been suggested that the next National Convention be postponed to meet in New Orleans during the World's Exposition, which, according to the constitution, it seems, cannot be changed. It may prove well that it cannot. When the National Con- vention meets they should take into consideration the advisability of an International Convention and Exposi- tion to be held in New Orleans some time in February, 188-5. By fixing the date in February, it will allow plenty of time for the hoUdays and settling of January accounts, and those in business will feel more at liberty to at- tend. If such an exhibition is prop- erly managed, and the bee-keepeis and supply dealers, throughout the United States and Canada will take right hold of it, their can be such an exliibition made as will surprise the World, and a world-wide market for American honey and supplies can be created. I hope a general expression on these suggestions will be made through the I5ee Journal. That there could be such a Conven- tion and Exhibition of Bees and Honey we have no doubt, if energetic and enterprising men should take hold of it, push it, and make it a suc- cess. But the great question is, where to find them. They must have experience, unbounded energy, and (more important than all else) plenty of time and money to devote to it. Several, both in the North and South, have suggested that the Editor of the Bee Journal should take the matter in hand, but we must positively decline the honor. We have neither the time nor the energy to spare to make it a success ; n
