NOVEMBER 17. V-M. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Exhibition. 



The first monthly show and chrys- 

 anthemum exhibition of this season, 

 given by the Cincinnati Florists' Soci- 

 ety, was held Nov. 12 at their club 

 rooms. The show was pronounced a 

 great success; not less than 3,000 peo- 

 ple visited the hall from 2 to 8 p. m. 

 Among the local growers Wittersiaet- 

 ter, George & Allen and the Hoffmeis- 

 ters were largely represented. 



At this show three special cash 

 prizes were offered. Barron, Boyle & 

 Co.'s $10 for best vase of 25 chrysan- 

 themums was captured by R. Witter- 

 staetter with a vase of Bonnaffon. This 

 vase was sui-ely a sight long to be re- 

 membered; the public went simply 

 wild over it. Second prize of $5, of- 

 fered by Alb. Sunderbruch, for best 12 

 blooms, 12 varieties, was taken by 

 George & Allen with a vase of cnoite 

 standard varieties. J. Ch. McCullough's 

 prize for best 25 Lily of Valley was 

 also taken by George & Allen. 



Mr. August Hoffmeister staged a 

 vase of 25 Golden Wedding which were 

 superb, and a vase of their new rose, 

 Miss Clara Barton, made a grand 

 showing. They were the only exhibit- 

 or of Beauties. 



Messrs. E. G. Hill & Co. .-ntered the 

 $10 contest with a vase of their new 

 chrysanthemum. Mile. Lucie Faure; 

 this is surely a grand variety and was 

 much admired, but the vase of Bon- 

 naffon stood pre-eminently above cny- 

 thing in the hall. Fred Walz had a 

 vase of his old favorite rose Mareohal 

 Niel on exhibition, much admired by 

 the ladies. 



There was a little ill-feeling ex- 

 pressed in regard to the awarding of 

 the $10 prize offered by Barron, Boyle 

 & Co. One of the directors took a vote, 

 and out of 22, IS were in favor of the 

 decision of the judge. 



In the evening the regular monthly 

 meeting took place with but a small 

 attendance. Four new members were 

 proposed, and it was decided that all 

 members in arrears three years be 

 dropped, and delinquent members, if 

 not paid up by December, expelled. 



Bowling. 



Mr. Theo. Bock came down from In- 

 dianapolis, hale and hearty. He !,pent 

 the greater part of his stay at a neigh- 

 boring alley practicing for che uext 

 contest at Indianapolis. The follow- 

 ing gentlemen bowled a friendly game 

 last Wednesday at the Ha^lla Halla al- 

 leys, with the following results:
