ROCHESTER, IM. V. 



A PHILADELPHIA CATASTROPHE. 



The burning question in some of the 

 Philadelphia wholesale centres this 



week Is: "Who upset the boat?" Geo. 

 Faulkner says his back was turned 

 and the first thing he knew he was in 

 the water, so why should be know. 

 J. Mclntyre says he has crossed the 

 Atlantic 26 times and surely ought to 

 known enough not to upset a boat. 

 Edward Reid says anyone who knows 

 enough to run an auto ought to be 

 above suspicion. Gilbert Baker was 

 the only other one in the party and 

 we presume the only way he can get 

 out of it will be to prove an alibi. 

 The tragedy took place at Lake Al- 

 monesslng on the 23rd. Ed. Reld had 

 taken the quartette down on a Satur- 

 day afternoon joy ride in his auto. Ed. 

 was the life saving hero and also am- 

 bulance corps. 



wholesale florists and a few friends 

 attended a banquet held at Labold & 

 Newburgh's Saturday evening, July 

 23. P. J. Olinger acted as toastmas- 

 ter. The banquet broke up In the 

 wee small hours of the morning.
