BUILDING 



Pleautifiil Horticultural Hall, the 

 pride of New Orleans, and witboui 

 (]Uestion containing tliB laigest and 

 finest ooUection of rare tropical plants 

 In the Cniied States, was partially de- 

 stroyed by a cyclone yesterday fore- 

 noon (Sept. 20) about 9.30 o'clock. The 

 swath cut by the tornadc was perhaps 

 about 500 yards wide, and included in 

 its path the ,!;rDve of magnificent live 

 oaks extending from Magazine street 

 to ihe entrance of the hall. Just one- 

 half of the hall from the cupola, or 

 steeple, in the center towards Maga- 

 zine street was prostrated fl^t to the 

 ground, not even the foundations re- 

 maining upright. The rare plants and 

 flowers contained in this portion of the 

 hall, were ruined as far as can be 

 seen, although some may be saved, but 

 this cannot be ascertained until after 

 the debris is all cleared away. The 

 glass was, of course, shattered and 

 ground into dust, while the timbers 

 were split and torn and reduced to 

 kindling wood. The havoc wrought 

 was terrible and aliuost beyond belief. 

 Huge beams supporting the heavy glass 

 roof were broken as though they were 

 sticks, while the lighter crossbeams 

 were twisted and broken into small 

 pieces. Horticultural Hall was built 

 in 1884 during the exposition or world's 

 fair, which was given in Audubon Park, 

 The cost of the structure was about 

 $60,000, and the appraisement, when a 

 value was set on the park property 

 last year, was $40,000. 



Superintendent Jules Fonta, who 

 takes a great interest in the hall, is 

 almost in despair at the havoc 

 wrought. — New Orleans Picayune.

CHICAGO SPORTS. 



The Chicago Bcwling League is now 

 fully organized and the captains chosen 

 at their last meeting are as follows: 

 Victor Bergman of Weinhoeber's, cap- 

 tain of "The Violets"; Geo. Asmus of 

 the Schiller Flower Store, captain of 

 "The Orchids"; Otto Goerisch of the 

 A. L. Randall Co., captain of "The 

 Roses," and Allie Zeck of Zeck & 

 Mann's, captain of "The Carnations." 

 A schedule giving dates and prizes for 

 the season is now in the hands of the 

 printers. Each team contains five reg- 

 ulars and three substitutes. 



Announcements are out for the 4th 

 annual reception and ball to be given 

 b\ the Chicago Wholesale Florists' 

 employes at Columbia Hall, 1527 North 

 Clark street, on Wednesday evening, 

 Oct. 27th. 



The decisive ball game played Sun- 

 day at Hinsdale between the employes 

 of Poehlmann Bros, and those of Bas- 

 sett & Washburn, gave the victory to 

 the Poehlmann team by a score of six 

 to three. The first three points were 

 quickly won but the last three meant 

 real work and the battle was hard 

 fought. The usual exchange of cour- 

 tesies in the shape of refreshments fol- 

 lowed, with Bassett & Washburn as 

 hosts. The families of August and 

 Adolph Poehlmann accompanied their 

 men and were entertained at luncheon 

 by C. L. Washburn. 



A PRESENTATION. 



A number of the friends and neigh- 

 bors of James Crosby, gardener for 

 Mrs, J, W. Tufts of Medford, Mass., 

 on the evening of September' 22 sur- 

 prised him and Mrs, Crosby with a 

 present of a beautiful buffet in token 

 of the esteem they are held in this 

 neighborhood. Mr. Stuart Miller of 

 Medford ma'le the presentation, voic- 

 ing the sentiments of all present in a 

 few well-chcsen words, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Crosby were so taken aback, that they 

 could hardly find words to express 

 their appreciation. Ice cream and cake 

 were served and a very enjoyable even- 

 ing -was spent. Mr. Whitney and Mr. 

 Jliller added much to the occasion by 

 I heir instiuiiiental and vocal abilities. 



BUFFALO BOWLERS. 



President Neubeck, of the Bowling 

 section of the Buffalo Florists' Club, 

 reports a good attendance at the week- 

 ly roll last Monday night, and he looks 

 foiward to turn out a prize-winning 

 team at the end of the season. 



INDIANAPOLIS FLOWER MARKET. 



The past week's business has been 

 of such a volume for the sea- 

 son that trade along the line 

 feel much encouraged. There is 

 an increasing demand for all good 

 stock; fancy Beauties, teas, lily of the 

 valley, and orchids all short of the de- 

 irand. Yellow and white chrysanthe- 

 mums are having a good run and sell- 

 ing out clean. The cut of the two 

 weeks previous, however, did not sell 

 well. Carnations are much improved 

 in quality and should sell well from 

 now on. as asters are about over. Dah- 

 lias are to be had in great quantities 

 and will be a factor in the medium 

 priced stock till frost cornea
