BOSTON FLORIST BOWLERS. 



We see in the accompanying gioup 

 picture the members of the Boston 

 Florists' Bowling League, whose scores 

 we have been publishing weekly. In 

 the centre of the second row from the 

 top, directly under the light, with arms 



ci'cssed. is the president of the league, 

 Seymour Grose, who Is also captain of 

 the Carbone team. Meetings for prac- 

 tice and competition are held at the 

 Arch Street Alleys every Thursday 

 evening and much interest is mani- 



fested by the active young men con- 

 nected with the flower markets and 

 the wholesale and retail establish- 

 ments. They bowl "candle pins" and 

 small balls only. Owing to the busy 

 holiday demands no bowling will be 

 done until December 30.
