 son, treasurer; W. A. Phillips, secre- 

 tary.

The Philadelphia Florists' Club

 Wednesday, 17th, to play a match 

 with the florists there that afternoon. 

 The same evening they played another 

 with the Baltimore team. The date 

 for the return match in Philadelphia 

 has not yet been announced. The vis- 

 iting team consisted of Connor, Yates, 

 Robertson, Dodds, Holmes and Graham. 



The New York Florists' Club's an- 

 nual bantjuet, which is to take place on 

 February 27, is already the talk of the 

 town and nearly three times as many 

 tickets have been sold, two weeks in 

 advance, as were taken in any recent 

 year. The committee In charge is 

 moving on new lines and innovations 

 are effective even in New York, where 

 people are popularly supposed to have 

 tried everything. At the rate of de- 

 mand up to date the probabilities are 

 that all the capacity of the Roman 

 lianquet hall at Shanley's will be sold 

 out in advance. 



FIRE RECORD. 



Dixon, III. — The large tank which 

 has supplied water to the greenhouse 

 of Norman Long was burned on Feb. 2. 



Kearney, Neb. — On the evening of 

 Jan. 29, Green & Wiley had three 

 greenhouses with their contents badly 

 damaged by a fire which started in 

 the boiler room. 



Chicago.— At 2 A. M. Sunday, Feb. 

 14, the house of Wm. H. Kidwell, 4453 

 Ellis avenue, was found to be on fire. 

 Mrs. Kidwell awakened first and gave 

 the alarm to her husband and six 

 children. They escaped uninjured, 

 but the furniture is almost a complete 

 loss. At this writing the insurance 

 has not been adjusted. The house it- 

 self was not owned by Mr. Kidwell. 

 The fire is supposed to have been 

 caused by an overheated furnace, and 

 the escape of the family is very fortu- 

 nate. Mr. Kidwell, who is well known 

 in the trade in Chicago, has the sym- 

 pathy of many friends.
