Florists' Club Bowling Social. 



The past week lias been rather quiet 

 among our florists, although of more 

 than usual stir socially. 



Thursday. Feb. 27. about twenty-five 

 florists gave way to an evening of enjoy- 

 ment and all congregated at the Vienna 

 alleys for a bowling social, twenty par- 

 taking in the bowling for the following 

 premiums: 



Gilt-framed, bevel-edged mirrors for 

 the lucky man on winning side, which 

 was taken in by our old standby Mr. A. 

 Donaghue, Sr., who was on the winning 

 side and proudly drew out the winning 

 number on a drawing by this side. 

 George Swoboda did himself proud and 

 took in two tons of coal donated by a 

 coal company, also a box of fine cigars 

 put up by Omaha Hox Company for 

 most strikes, he having highest average 

 and inost strikes. J. J. Hess got in on 

 most spares on the deciding game be- 

 tween he and Jlr. Kllsworth, receiving 

 a box of cigars put vip by Mr. Swoboda, 

 and a florist's knife put up by Mr. S. B. 

 Stewart. Mr. Rabcr took home a flor- 

 isfs knife given by W. W. Barnard & 

 Co.'s representative. !Mr. Ringier, who 

 was present through the fracas. Henry 

 Peterson, of Florence, was lucky man in 

 receiving a pair of rose shears put up 

 by Mr. Lewis Henderson, for second low- 

 est score. 



During the bowling a lunch was 

 served, to which all did ample justice, 

 for who can be without a good appetite 

 during a bowling contest? After the 

 contest between the Reds and Blacks, the 

 Northsiders and Southsidcrs played one 

 game, and a lively one, too; there was 

 blood on the moon all the time.
