No pleasanter place of meeting could be found for such an as- semblage than the cool, well -lighted and commodious pavilion in the Horticul- tural Gardens, lavishly decorated, as befitted the occasion, with rei) manner of mottoes, devices and butting and the gardens themselves, just fnaiShing the putting on of their attran 'ye sum- mer dress, and lit up at night with Chineselanterns, dcc., afforde pleasant opportunities of a quiet wa to spell delegates as might wish to snatch a ,few minutes from the bustle and rush, and business of the Convert ion.
