 Last Friday night R. J. Irwin of 

 Philadelphia and L. W. Wheeler of 

 Holliston, Cal., were visitors at the 

 N. Y. Club's alleys. The prize was 

 won by Manda with a score of 201. A 

 similar prize — a bottle of champagne, 

 will be offered for high score at this 

 week's game. On Monday afternoon 

 next — previous to N. Y. Florists' Club 

 meeting — bowling will be indulged in 

 as usual. Scores last Friday were as 

 follows:

Christmas at Burpee's. 

 We had the honor of being an on- 

 looker at the annual Santa Glaus cele- 

 bration at the Burpee seed store in 

 Philadelphia for the first time this 

 year. We had heard ,j'ears ago of Mr. 

 Burpee's kinaly notion of giving the 

 youngsters in the neighborhood a little 

 Christmas gift of candy or other pleas- 

 ing memento but had no idea it had 

 grown to be an event of municipal im- 

 portance. At first it embraced only 

 about 25 of the nearby youngsters, but 

 in a few years the number swelled to 

 500 and last year it was 1000. This 

 year there were over 1500 in line to 

 greet Santa Burpee. He responded to 

 them in person; no deputy could' be 

 permitted to fill this kindly function. 

 He was aided by his chief lieutenants 

 from Manager Earl and Treasurer 

 Brown down through the ranks. We 

 will not soon forget this splendid ex- 

 hibition of good fellowship and kindly 

 feeling. It meant far more than sign- 

 ing a check for ten million. It meant 

 days of planning and arranging and 

 the personal sacrifice and strenuous 

 labor of one whole day — when most 

 men would rather have been taking a 

 day off for themselves — especially such 

 a busy and hard worked man as W. 

 Atlee Burpee. Mr. Burpee was ably 

 seconded by his son, David, and by his 

 sister, Mrs. A. B. Scott, in the presen- 

 tation ceremonies. That is the true 

 Christmas spirit. "Peace on Earth: 

 Good will to men." No exchanging of 

 presents at department stores next day 

 in this crowd.
