At a meeting of the District of Columbia _Hort!- cultural society held last evening at Veteran hall, Mr. John Saul presiding, and Mr, W. J.cogan secretary, a committes—composed of Messrs. Clark, Fowler and Prince—was appointed to revise the constitution. ‘The subject of roses was discussed, and Mr, Saul gave his opinion of a number of new roses. Mr. Fowlercalled attention to the destruction of shade trees by horses, some, he said, having had their bark torn off for a distance of several feet from the branches fo near the ground. He had caused the arrest of aman who left his horse to damage a tree and when the case was called in the Police Court it was dismissed, because he could not swear the horse belonged to the man. In front of one of the station houses two trees had been de- stroyed by the officers’ horses. Mr. J. T. C, Clark said that he had noticed trees nibbied by the horses of police oMicers and he suggest that the authorities should admonish Such officers. He had remonstrated with an officer for tying his horse to a tree. Mr. Fowler said that many of the tree boxes had deen removed, leaving the trees unprotected. Mr. I remarked that trees will do better Without boxes and there was no reason why they should not be protected. Mr. Fowler said that milk men sometimes leave their teams to depredate on the trees, A tree box referred to a white-washed tree and he asked how protection could be afforded with. the box, Mr. Janney asked If the boxes were not removed Decanse of the cocoons, Mr, Sautl sald this was not the only reason, as they were removed also for economical reasons, for they cost ninety cents each. In other cities trees and. its were protected. In Boston even fruit bung over the pavement without molestation and he ‘saw no reason Why here ali plants and shrubbery should not be protected, Mr. Cogan declined a renomination as secretary. ace eens ‘The Veteranw Fair Closed.
