 in mine." 



All the returned pilgrims to the 

 Cleveland Convention seem to be 

 unanimous that it was one oi" the finest 

 ever held which is a great compliment 

 to the Cleveland boys. Even their 

 grand old man, Adam Graham, who 

 was supposed to be retired 20 years 

 ago, comes in for a high meed of praise. 

 He looked well, spoke well, and acted 

 like a veteran of 50, instead of the 82 

 the old lady has tagged on him. 



And they actually elected Tom Ro- 

 land! Well, believe me, there is some 

 common sense still left in the good old 

 S. A. P.! And Adolphe Gude, my 

 gudeness, you couldn't beat that, for 

 vice-president. It yours truly had 

 been there, there would have been 

 some shouting. No "balmy zephyr" as 

 Edward Dooner now terms it. The old 

 sarcasm "Caledonian Cyclone" would 

 have been far more appropriate! And 

 the rest of them are fine too. There's a 

 cheering outlook, and J. Horace Mc- 

 Farland has no kicks coming. The bill- 

 boards didn't get it all their own way. 



Wm. J. Muth, representing the King 

 Construction Co. in this latitude, re- 

 ports three new operations started on 

 by liis concern this week (August 23) : 

 One at Chadds Farm, one at Chestnut 

 Hill, and one for Macaw Bros, at Nor- 

 wood. Mr. Muth lives in West Chester, 

 but still retains offices in the Harrison 

 Building, Philadelphia, where he is a 

 daily visitor. 



Bert Schilder is making a good suc- 

 cess in his operation of the old Aid- 

 rich Pennock place. He is making a 

 specialty this season of carnations, 

 chrysanthemums, callas. longiilorums 

 and bulbous stock of various kinds. 



Duncan Macaw of Macaw Bros., Nor- 

 wood, left on a trip to Ireland on the 

 24th of August. He was accompanied 

 by his mother. His brother Thomp- 

 son Macaw will manage the place 

 during his partner's absence. 



Aug. Doemling has about finished 

 making repairs on the lightning catas- 

 trophe to his greenhouses in Lans- 

 downe. but it has been a tough job 

 for him all sumimer while the other 

 fellows were having a good vacation. 

 However he sees daylight again and
