The meeting of the Newport Horti- cultural Society Tuesday evening, March 9, was replete with interesting features which well repaid the unusu- ally large number in attendance. An animated discussion resulted from the statement that an attempt had been re- ported to have the Rhode Island Gen- eral Assembly withhold its annual finan- cial assistance to the various horticul- tural and agricultural societies of the state. It was voted that the secretary of the society be instructed to com- municate with the members of the gen- eral assembly from Newport county voicing the protest of the society against any restricting of such appro- priations. It was announced that the premium list for the summer show was about completed and would be sent out in a few days. An interesting address was made by John Hay, of Philadelphia, formerly of this city, which was well received.

Because of the blizzard and gale Mon- day, March 8, it was impossible to travel the length of Bellevue avenue and several of the gardeners at the summer estates telephoned that they were snowbound.
