From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Royal Horticultural Society   [Feb 1894]

[Mr D. Clark, B.C.E., the director of the Bairnsdale School of Mines, has been admitted as a fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society of England.1 Baron von Mueller, we understand, was his nominator.]

Donald Clark (1864-1932) (ADB) was elected at the meeting of the Society held on 13 March 1894 (Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, vol. 17, p. x1, 1894). It is not known how the Bairnsdale advertiser was able to publish the appointment on the day the election took place in London.

Letter not found. The text given here is from Bairnsdale advertiser and Tambo and Omeo chronicle, 13 March 1894, p. [2], col. d.
