AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



The Sangamon Fair and 



Springfield Exposition, which was held 

 on Sept. 5th to 9th, at Springfield, Ills., 

 issued a very elaborate Premium List of

 Superintendent of the Bee and Honey 

 Department, and the following is the 

 generous list of premiums offered :

In a letter received on Sept. 5, from 

 Mr. Stone, he said : "Although it is a 

 poor honey year, our display in honey 

 came in quite large." 



The Ohio State Building: at 



the World's Fair (see page 371) will be 

 dedicated at the same time as are the 

 general Exposition buildings — on Oct. 

 21, 1892 — according to present plans. 

 Speeches will be made by Gov. McKinley, 

 ex-Gov. Campbell, and Senators Sher- 

 man and Brice. President Harrison is 

 expected to deliver an address at the 

 unveiling of Rebisso's equestrian statue 

 of William Henry Harrison, which will 

 stand in front of the Ohio building. 



The Review is receiving some 

 very encouraging endorsements now-a- 

 days, which are also very much de- 

 served. Seldom does a periodical of 

 such tender years mature so rapidly and 

 apparently so substantially. It certainly 

 deserves its measure of success, and we 

 can heartily "second the motion" found 

 in this paragraph, from the last number 

 of Gleanings : 



What an excellent bee-paper the Bee- 

 Keepers' Review is ! It seems to be im- 

 proving month by month. We have 

 wanted to pat Bro. Hutchinson on the 

 back several times of late, but we were 

 afraid that our readers would begin to 

 think that Gleanings and the Review 

 were somewhat under one management. 

 Not a bit of it. Both journals are man- 

 aged and conducted separately ; and 

 although there may be a rivalry, it is, 

 in the language of Bro. Hutchinson, 

 " not an unpleasant one." 



We club the Revieiv with the Ameri- 

 can Beb Journal — both one year for 



$1.75. 



Mr. E. F. Quigfley, publisher of 

 the Progressive Bee-Keeper, announces 

 in his August number, which is just re- 

 ceived, that he has "purchased the 

 subscription list of the White Mountain 

 Apiarist, and will commence filling its 

 contracts with the September issue." 

 As it is about the time for "doubling 

 up" colonies, we are not surprised at 

 this case of "doubling up" of two bee- 

 papers. Mr. Quigley seems to be pro- 

 gressive, as the title of his paper indi- 

 cates. 



Xhe Bee-Keepers' Union is 



again triumphant ! John Foulkes, near 

 Dubuque, Iowa, sued his two neighbors 

 who kept bees, demanding temporary 

 injunctions, compelling the owners to 

 remove the bees. As they were mem- 

 bers of the Union, the General Manager 

 took charge of the case. The result is, 

 that Judge Lenehan refused to grant 

 the injunction, because it would "inter- 

 fere with a business which the courts 

 recognize as legal." More particulars 

 will be given next week.
