The American Pomological Society held a reunion here in Chicago in the Art Palace, lake front, on Wednesday evening, the 17th inst. Owing to the great World's Columbian Exposition, it was decided to postpone the meeting one year, and then accept an invitation which has been received from San Francisco. The Pomological Section of the World's Congress Auxiliary met the same evening, and listened to able addresses from Mr. G. B. Brackett, of Iowa ; T. P. Lyon, of Michigan ; and Geo. T. Snow, of New York State. Red Astrachan in Chicago.—Were it not for the duty of seventy-five cents per barrel, it might pay Canadian growers to send some of their summer apples to Chicago. The Red Astrachan is worth $3 and $4 here (Aug. 8th); and Canadian stock seems to have the precedency here Pampas Grass for Decoration.—Mrs. H. W. R. Strong, of Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California, is a lady of wealth and enterprise. She has a large ranch on which she makes the growth of pampas a prominent industry, and this beautiful pampas palace is a specimen of pampas decoration. The rugs on the floor, the panelling on the ceiling, the lattice work of the windows, even the tea kettle hanging in the fireplace, are all made of this king among grass. In England it is much in demand for decorative work, 30,000 plumes per annum being the present rate of the export, and this is rapidly increasing. Visitors to the Canadian Courts all seem to unite in one voice that Canada is doing herself great credit before the world with her exhibits. Great (326).
