BUFFALO. 



Vacations and Picnics. 



When the Board of Aldermen vote 

 themselves a month's vacation it is 

 a sign of very dull times, and if the 

 present sultry weather lasts through 

 the month we all ought to take a va- 

 cation. But few can. 



Tomorrow (Wednesday) the annual 

 florists' picnic takes place, in which 

 there is to be a ball game for a big 

 stake between the city boys versus the 

 Cold Springs employes. Of that and 

 the many sports and feats of strength 

 you shall have a full account. 



Bowling. 



The men who can bowl met for a 

 practice game last week and consider- 

 ing that this was the first time they 

 had handled a ball since the Detroit 

 meeting, they did fairly well. If W. S. 

 and W. F. K. can keep up that form 

 and the younger element roll their 

 usual gait it will make it interesting. 



Some impudent son of the prairie 

 dog region signing himself "Rocky" 

 assumes to classify the teams with 

 adjectives supposedly descriptive of 

 conduct or bearing. Flatbush and New 

 York he has all right, but the rest are 

 sadly mixed. I would not call the 

 Chicago men the "windy" onts. 

 They may be called the mus 

 ical team or human calliopes. 

 They exceed ordinary wind ani 

 their capacity app:oach:s th3 ty 

 clonic. Phila,delphia is windy, but 

 only away from home. Buffalo is 

 humble, very humble, especially at the 

 end of the third game at Detroit. I 

 hope there will be the very best of 

 good nature and good feeling all 

 around. Let there be cheers for the 

 good plays but no derisive remarks 

 for the unlucky. This game of bowl- 

 ing, whatever its merits, has become 

 a great feature of our annual gather- 

 ings and the value and extent of the 

 prizes this year calls for the favorite 

 remark of Dominie Sampson, "Pro- 

 digious." and the games must be con- 

 ducted in a good natured gentlemanly 

 manner and spirit. There are hun- 

 dreds of games in the world, from 

 marbles of our short pants days to the 



royal game of horse racing. They are 

 all good or bad whenever the partici- 

 pants make them so. 



Pan-American. 



Mr. J. Otto Thilow, manager of 

 Henry A. Dreer'9 store, was in town 

 today selecting a spot for grass ex- 

 hibit at the Pan-American. He was 

 delighted with the outlook, but not 

 more so than he was with our city. 

 He seemed surprised to know that 

 thei'e is any thought of any other city 

 for next year's convention. 



Sub-Watering. 

 Prof. Arthur, of Purdue University, 

 stopped over a day on his way to the 

 Maine coast tor a much needed rest. 

 He is still very sanguine over the sub- 

 watering method for our bench crops 

 and gave me a commission which I 

 willingly promised to undertake. He 

 thinks that sub-watering has not yet 

 been correctly carried out and believes 

 the system of value to the commercial 

 florist and hopes for more full and cor 

 rect demonstrations. 



Sympathy for Mr. Lonsdale. 

 The florists of Buffalo, with thou- 

 sands more, have nothing but tlie 

 greatest sorrow and sympathy for 

 Edwin Lonsdale and wife in their ter- 

 rible bereavement. If the sympathy 

 of their many friends will comfort 

 them they have it deeply and sincere- 

 ly. But words are of no avail and 

 none of us can realize their great grief. 

 It is a blow to break the heart of the 

 strongest. If we had known Edwin 

 Lonsdale less it might not have seem- 

 ed so sad to us as it does. It is a sad 

 blow that time alone in its mercy can 

 efface. W. S.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather is torrid, unbearable. 

 With the thermometer 93 to 100 de- 

 grees in the shade it is hot work tak- 

 ing out dirt and refllling benches. 



Business is quiet. There are but 

 few flowers on the market, but enough 

 for the demand. 



Most of the florists are either build- 

 ing or rebuilding. Henry Smith is 

 building one violet house and rebuild- 

 ing several small houses into one 

 large one and is rebuilding the entire 

 front of his extensive shed; Mulick 

 Bros, are converting two small houses
