PENNSYLVANIA FLORISTS ENJOY 

 THEMSELVES 



Frank M. Ross entertained a party 

 of about 50 of his florist friends at his 

 farm on the Neshaminey near Doyles- 

 town on Saturday afternoon and even- 

 ing, August 7. A ball game betwoi -i 

 the De Gour Veterans and S;iin Lilly ~ 

 Babies was a feature of the afternoon. 

 The line up and score follows: 



A thunderstorn stopped the gf.me at 

 Ihe fourth inning. The excellent bat- 

 ting of Ralph Faust and the fine pitch- 

 ing of Samuel Lilly were high points 

 in this spanking match while it l.'>.sted. 



There was a lively swimmiuK race 

 which was enjoyed by many. The dis- 

 tance was 50 yards and the winners 

 were: Frank M. Ross, first; Eugene 

 Bernheimer. second: Ralph Faust, 

 third. 



The under water test for time was 

 won by Bernheimer. The fat man's 

 race was won by Faust, Lilly and 

 Berniheimer in the order mentioned. 

 After the sports wore over the guests 

 went to the dining hall welcomed on 

 their way by lively marching music. 

 Mrs. Ross officiated at the piano and 

 her lively welcome was heartfelt and 

 cheering. A sumptuous repast was 

 done ample justice to and the balance 

 of the evening was spent in dance 

 and song. Everybody went home feel- 

 ing happy and joyfi:l and extended 

 their heartfelt thanks to Mr. and Mrs. 

 Ross for a floriovis afternoon and even- 

 ing. Or to put it in the homely ver- 

 nacular of Al. Swan "that man Ross 

 certainly did show us a swell time."

 burgh is to hold its annual picnic to- 

 day. August 14th. at Riverview Park.

 cert by the newly organized glee club.
