 vies, R. H. (;. Bard, George Ham and 

 Joseph Huiler. 



They were met by a delegation of 

 Uticans and taken to Crowe's green- 

 houses, where they were shown 

 around. Shortly after 6 o'clock they 

 were conducted to Maennerchor Hall.^ 

 where Caterer Bodmer served a ban- 

 quet of five courses at 7 -o'clock. The 

 tables were literally buried under the 

 weight of flowers and the air laden 

 with their fragrance. After enjoying 

 the good things to eat and drink the 

 company adjourned to the alley. 



In the three games the Uticans won 

 out by 129 pins. The scores follo-w:

^°'"' CROWE. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



We are experiencing a chunk of tor- 

 rid weather, warm enough to bake a 

 Hottentot; it takes the water this 

 weather to keep things wet. Most ol 

 the florists have their carnations 

 planted; a few nights were frosty 

 enough to injure a great many on low 

 land. Prices remain about the same 

 and most folks find it too hot to even 

 die and thereby provide an outlet for 

 surplus funeral flowers. 



Mr. and Mrs. Wasserman. of Mus- 

 kegon, spent Sunday in the city. They 

 report Easter trade excellent; over 50 

 per cent better than last year. 



G. F. CRABB. 



CAPE VINCENT, N. Y.— The Cleve- 

 land Seed Co. is planning to erect a 

 warehouse 40x180 feet and four stories 

 high, on the west of the property re- 

 cently purchased of Stephen Hosmer 

 of Avon. The building will have fa- 

 cilities for cleaning and storing large 

 quantities of beans.
