THE GAMES AND ENTERTAIN- 

 MENT. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 has decided to hold the outing at Man- 

 Itou Beach, which includes an S-mile 

 trolley ride along the shore — not back, 

 but near the water's edge most of the 

 way. The ball game will be held at 

 the same place, while the shooting 

 will take place at the traps of the 

 Riverside Gun Club at South Park. 



The ladies' tournament (bowling) 

 will take place on the Elm Alleys on 

 Elm street, one block south of Main 

 street East, while the tournament for 



men will be held on the Grand Cen- 

 tral Alleys, which comprise of twelve 

 alleys, Brunswick-Balke — Callender 

 make, with Bisson pin setters. 



These alleys are to be planed and 

 refurnished and will not be used until 

 the opening of the convention dates, 

 so with new alleys and new pins there 

 ought to be something doing in the 

 way of scores. Automobile and trol- 

 ley rides, together with band concerts, 

 will also be in order. 



N. B. Clubs holding permanent 

 trophies which are competed for from 

 year to year are requested to get in 

 touch with Albert F. Viclv as soon as 

 possible so that he may know whether 

 to expect the trophies by express or 

 whether the club will bring the trophy 

 with them. Mr. Vick would also like 

 ihe captains of bowling teams to com- 

 municate with him so that he may 

 know how many teams will be en- 

 tered, as he is about to prepare the 

 prize list and should know at once. 



THE EXHIBITION. 



Superintendent Charles H. Vick in- 

 forms us that the space in the large 

 Convention Hall is nearly all gone. 

 He will do his best to locate late 

 comers but they should not delay any 

 longer. The Souvenir Album will be 

 ready about August 1. It will be a 

 beauty and a credit to the Rochester 

 Florists' Association. The list of ex-

TRANSPORTATION. 

 From Boston. 



Secretary W. N. Craig of the Gar- 

 denes' and Florists' Club of Boston, 

 informs us that exact information can- 

 not yet bo given, but it is probable 

 that round trip rates between Boston 

 and Rochester will be 13.40, and cor- 

 responding fares will prevail from 

 other stations in New England. A 

 special Pullman car is being arranged 

 for; seats in this would be $2.00 extra, 

 or if the party left at night, $2.50 per 

 berth. Probably the party will leave 

 Boston on Monday morning, August 15, 

 arriving in Rochester about 10 p. m. 



State-vice-president E. Allan Peirce 

 is busy with the general passenger 

 agents and expects to be in a position 

 to give out definite information next 

 week. He will be present at the com- 

 ing club picnic prepan d to give full 

 information concerning the convention 

 to all desiring it. He will also be fur- 

 nished with application blanks and all 

 the necessary paraphernalia. Let all 

 planning to go write to him at Wal- 

 tham. Mass., and enroll at once. 

 Other Points. 



Transportation from Chicago has 

 been arranged for as mentioned in the 

 Chicago notes in this issue and de- 

 tailed on page 75, last week's issue. 



M. Bloy, State vice-president for 

 Michigan, states that there will be 

 over fifty in attendance at Rochester
