THE BOWLING TOURNAMENT. 



The bowling tournament at New 

 York was a hot one. and no mistake. 

 The temperature at the alleys must 

 have been over 10(» degrees and the 

 humidity about SO. The humidity that 

 encased the players was much greater 

 and handkerchiefs were soon reduced 

 to rags. It is a wonder that any de- 

 cent scores were made by any team 

 under the conditions. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. cup was 

 ■won by Buffalo, with a total of 2,775 

 pins in the three games. Buffalo also 

 took the Hitchings cup, with the high 

 score of 1,021 in the third game, and 

 the E. M. Wood cup for highest total 

 in the three games. The Wood cup 

 becomes their permanent property, 

 but the other two must be won twice. 

 The Bison City also acquired tho De- 

 troit trophy, won by Philadelphia last 

 year. 



Chicago won the Queen of Edgely 

 cup with a total of 1.842 in the first 

 two games. This must be won twice. 



Of the Individual prizes W. P. Kast- 

 ing, of Buffalo, won the silver cup, 

 with an average of 194 in the three 

 games. He also captured the silver cup 

 for highest score in any one game 

 with 228 in the third game. The gold 

 medal for second highest average 

 went to Wm. Webber, Buffalo, with 

 an average of 179. The gold medal 

 for the third highest average was won 

 by Geo. Asnuis. Chicago, with an av- 

 erage of 16".

 Bluffs, la. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Welcomed rains and cooler weather 

 are what we have had the past few 

 days. The growers enjoyed the rain 

 and the storemen the cool weathej. 



Business has been much better the 

 last part of the mouth than it was the 

 early part. Shipping trade seems to 

 be reviving and the outlook is better, 

 though most of the business is con- 

 fined to funeral work. 



The opening of all the theaters next 

 week and the return of society people 

 from the summer resorts will help 



to revive the florist business in gen- 

 eral, and it's about time. 



In roses Meteors are about the best 

 that come in; from $3 to $5 is asked 

 for them. Beauties are not first-class 

 and only a limited number of good 

 flowers, price from 75 cents to .$1.25 

 per doz. Brides and maids are very 

 poor, best are sold at $3; choice stock 

 of these varieties are out of question 

 just now. Carnations are somewhat 

 better and quite a lot of them are 

 coming in with fair flowers, but very 

 short stems. Whites have the call 

 with daybreaks next. Very few good 

 reds come in; selected stock in these 

 varieties running from 75 cents to $1 

 per 100. 



A month of dry weather has shor- 

 tened the aster stock and few are com- 

 ing in, prices from 50 cents to $1; 

 some extra fine large ones brought as 

 high as $3, but only very few at that 

 price. Hydrangeas are selling at 4 

 cents per head. Smilax sold well last 

 week as ferns were scarce. 



Various Items. 



The next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will take place Thursday after- 

 noon. September 6th, at 3 p. m. The 

 meeting should be held on the 13th, 

 taut owing to the Belleville street fair 

 coming off that week President-elect 

 Guy and the other Belleville members 

 could not be present at the installa- 

 tion services. President Ammann and 

 President-elect Guy expect a large at- 

 tendance and those who attended the 

 New York convention will have re- 

 turned and will tell us what they saw 

 and heard. 



C. C. Sanders is building a new 

 house, 100x25, at his place on The 

 Hawley road, to be used for carna- 

 tions. 



Kalish & Son are building two new 

 houses on their Delmar avenue place. 



Theo. Miller is building a place, at 

 the corner of Delmar and Euclid ave- 

 nues, which he will open as a retail 

 store about Sept. 15th. 



Miss Newman, of 3724 Olive street, 

 is in Boston visiting friends. She will 

 return about Sept. 15. 



George Waltaart reports that about 

 Sept. 15 he will move into his new 

 store, which will be about as fine a 

 place as there is in the city. 



Bowling. 



The Chicago Club did not roll true 

 to form in their last game or they 

 would have won. After leading by 88 

 pins at the end of the second game 

 and then let the Buffaloes come In 

 and beat them by 46 pins; it's a 

 shame! But King Kasting did the 

 work and the best team won, as the 

 Buffaloes captured everything in 

 sight. I am glad they got the next 

 convention, too, Scott is the right 

 man In the right place at the head 

 of the bowling and O'Mara and Kast- 

 ing will make a great team at the 

 next S. A. F. convention, and no doubt 

 St. Louis will be on hand to take 

 those cups from the champions.
