 good-sized crowd at the alleys on West

 ered himself with glory in the way of 

 scores. Below is the record:

Buffalo vs. Rochester. 



The match game of bowling between 

 Buffalo and Rochester was had on 

 March 8th at Rochester and the Buf- 

 falo boys returned as winners. About 

 twenty joined the party for Buffalo and 

 reports from those in attendance state 

 that an excellent time was had by all. 

 The visitors were sumptuously enter- 

 tained. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Maurice Fuld gave a lecture on Dah- 

 lias at the monthly meeting of the 

 Germantown Horticultural Society on 

 the 13th inst. 



George Samtman, one of the most 

 noted rose growers in this part of the 

 country will go in largely for the new 

 Double Pink Killarney this season. 

 Myers & Samtman of Chestnut Hill 

 will also grow this variety. Both con- 

 cerns have just placed their orders for 

 heavy blocks of the young stock with 

 the Pennock-Meehan Co. 



Arthur Zirkman and Robert Schoch 

 knights errant for M. Rice & Co., have 

 returned from their New England 

 campaign. They had show rooms in 

 Boston for two weeks and were be- 

 sieged with visitors all that time. Fat 

 orders, many of them running into 

 eight, ten and twelve pages each, 

 were gleefully flashed in your corres- 

 pondent's face — and the stacks of them 

 pointed to with pride. Best trip ever! 

 Other sections of the country may be 

 all right hut, oh, you Down East.
