Excursion to Niagara Falls. 



Between fifty and sixty availed them- 

 selves of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Association excursion to Niagara Falls 

 last Thursday and a most delightful 

 day was spent liy every one, I believe. 

 It was not a picnic and each one was 

 independent of the other and enjoyed 

 himself after his own heart. Of course 

 the ideas of enjoyment of some ran in 

 the same groove, and the crowd as a 

 rule went about in groups of from two 

 up. 



Some visited the "Glen" (one of the 

 most interesting spots on the river — 

 just below the whirlpool), some pre- 

 ferred to sit in the park gazing at the 

 falls, others explored the back country 

 in search of a square meal under $1.00, 

 some took in the American town of 

 Niagara Falls (quite a lively town 

 too). There was a man over there 

 they wanted to see about a dog or 

 something. I noticed that one florist 

 there combines a restaurant with his 

 cut flower business, not a bad idea in 

 such a place during the summer 

 months. Another party went fishing, 

 and will no doubt have a supply of 

 good fish stories laid in for use during 

 the long winter evenings. Altogether 

 the excursion was a success, though 

 one missed several well known faces, 

 such as those of Messrs. Vair, Cham- 

 bers, Watkins, Reeves, Dunlop, Hous- 

 ton, Carter, etc. 



Notes. 



The city was favored with a visit 

 from the renowned Baggs, known to 

 readers of The Review through "Pot- 

 ting Shed Idyls" as "Jaggs." He had 

 been wintering in the old country, and 

 was endeavoring to make Rochester, 

 N. Y., to which city we offer congratu- 

 lations on his possession. 



The weather still keeps very warm 

 and dry. The observatory reports the 

 hottest July on record; the effect of 

 any little showers that have fallen was 

 Invisible a few hours after. They say 

 another moon has put in an appear- 

 ance, evidently the old one is rattled. 

 E. 



UNDER the heading, "Side Lights on 

 the Exposition." the Omaha World- 

 Herald speaks flatteringly of Mr. J. 

 Austin Shaw as "one of the most 

 pleasant gentlemen in charge of ex- 

 hibits on the exposition grounds," and 

 notes the value of his correspondence 

 for the trade press.
