CONVENTION NOTICES. 



CANADA'S BIG FAIB, AND OUR CONVENTION. 



f;IIE attractions at this great fair, open- 

 ing Sept. 10, and closing on the 22d, 

 ■ ' are so great that our space is utterly 

 inadequate to enable us to reprint the pro- 

 gramme for each day. But on the 18th we 

 notice the following : 



The Beck with Tamil y perform in a large 

 glass tank ; electric - railway trips ; textile 

 workers ; gas vs. electricity ; Prof. Hand, 

 the great pyrotechnist, will descend from 

 the main building in his '' chariot of lire." 



On the 19th, Farmers' Day is observed ; 

 horseback riding ; balloon ascension ; organ 

 and piano recitals. 



The 20th is known as " American Visitors' 

 Day." Many of the attractions of the other 

 days will be repeated, besides a grand review 

 of all prize animals. 



The whole affair promises to be a " big 

 thing," and will doubtless well repay a visit. 

 Seldom if ever will a better opportunity be 

 afforded for the bee-kee.pers of the United 

 States and Canada to ''look each other in 

 the face " than on this occasion. 



1)1 addition to what we published in our 

 last issue relative to special excursion rates, 

 we append the following, which is the latest 

 we have received up to noon, Sept. 12. 



FARES. 



Fnoifl i?oof:— I understand we can go from Lew" 

 iPton, N. Y. (5 miles from Suspension Bridge), to 

 Toronto and return for $1 00. This will be the route 

 taken by nearly all east and west, going via Suspen- 

 sion Bridge, as it gives u delightful ride down Niag- 

 ara River and across the lake. Geo. W. House. 



Fayetteville, N. Y., Aug. 29, 1883. 



I have been to the Grand Trunk Eailroad ofiBce, 

 and had a talk about the Bee-Keepers' Convention 

 at Toronto, Oat. They will give an excursion from 

 Detroit to Toronto on the 17th of this month; the 

 fare very likely will be $175 tor the round trip. 



Detroit, Mich., Sept. 7, 1883. Otto Kleinow. 



The trains leave Suspension Bridge for Lewiston, 

 where connection is made with boat for Toronto, as 

 follows: 7 and 9 o'clock a.m., 5 and 7.15 p.m. Steam- 

 er arrives from Toronto at Lewiston 10.30 a.m. and 

 5 30 p.m. I send this, thinking perhaps it may be 

 beneficial for those wishing to stop at Niagara a 

 short time. Geo. W. House. 



Fayetteville, N. Y., Sept. 2, 1883. 



BEE MEETING. 



The next regular meeting of the Mahoning Valley 

 Bee-Keepers' Association will be held at Newton 

 Falls, on the first Saturday of November, 1883.

WANTED ! 



Onn Swarms Italian Bees. Parties desiring Bees 

 ZUU wintered safely in Florida, and returned

 there in March) will do well to correspond with

The best of References. 



British Bee Journal. 



The British Bee Journal is now mailed to our ad- 

 dress in packages, semi-monthly. In order to dispose 

 of them, we offer them at present at $1.00 per year, 

 postage paid, beginning Jan., 1883. Will guarantee 

 safe arrival of every number.

Parlor Organs! 



Having contracted for quite a number of Parlor 

 Organs, in order to sell some of them immediately I 

 offer them to my brother bee-keepers at the ordina- 

 ry wholesale price to dealers. I will send prices and 

 catalogues to any who intend purchasing. Prices 

 range from $50 for a plain-case, 6-stop Organ, to $1'^5 

 for the finest possible case and 13-stop organ. The 

 order with the money is to be sent to A. I. Root, Me- 

 dina, O.; and if the Organ doesn't suit, you may re- 

 turn the same and get your money back from Mr. 

 Root, after 14 days of trial in your own house, la 

 this way 1 think nobody will run any risk.

 can make some money at home.
