Bowling. 



There were a great many surprises 

 for the boys who attended the bowl- 

 ing alleys on Monday night. Chicago 

 and Boston were represented, and 

 strange to .say. neither Hoboken nor 

 Flatbush. put in an appearance. We 

 were all very much pleased to have

BUFFALO. 



It is some time since you heard from 

 the Windy City at the east end of the 

 lakes and during the interval nothing 

 very new or startling has happened. 

 There was a delegation of five Buf- 

 falonians attended the Philadelphia 

 convention. Pretty good for our size of 

 town. What a curious sensation to 

 leave almost bare streets in our north- 

 ern town and step into 4 feet of snow; 

 however, in a city where the city hall 

 is 520 feet above the sidewalk. The 

 illuminated face of the clock is 22 

 feet in diameter and it would take 

 longer figures than these to represent 

 the true dimensions of the liberality, 

 good will and hospitality of the Phila- 

 delphia florists; we will wonder at 

 nothing. 



Business is very fair. Carnations of 

 good quality are decidedly the scarcest 

 article. Tulips and daffodils are fair-

ly plentiful and of finest quality and 

 although low in price have not yet 

 i-eached the absurd figures of late 

 years. Violets are very plentiful and 

 poor qualities are offer.;d at a very 

 small price per bunch, but really good 

 flowers bring a paying price and seem 

 very popular Just now. 



There is an abundance of flowering 

 plants in all the stores and on fine 

 days the demand is good. What a 

 difference the weather does make to us 

 all and what a lot of weather we have 

 had since last November. 



At last we have among us a genuine 

 crape chaser. He is not an impor- 

 tation; nor of a nationality that would 

 be supposed to stoop to anything^ Oh 

 no, he is a cultivated young gentle- 

 man, prominent in church circles, pay- 

 ing a big rent on Main street for his 

 store. His education Is not responsible 

 for this enterprising trait in his make- 

 up. It is the maturing of a remark- 

 able business faculty, brought out by 

 a fuller development of character com- 

 bined with the necessites of the times. 

 Whatever it is he or his agent ap- 

 pears shortly after the public an- 

 nouncement of the deceased with al- 

 bum of designs, soliciting the "family 

 order." It is only gentlemanly to be 

 courteous to every agent or drum- 

 mer, but this class should have the
