 lioiiie, at Seagirt, by airplane and there 

 delivered to him. R. B. M. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



We aie fond of saying that business 

 would have been better but for the 

 weather. This could not be said of the 

 last week of August. The weather was 

 l>erfec.t and business was awful. To- 

 ward the end of the week it grew so 

 bad that even the cheerful lost their 

 liaj)]\v smiles and the mournful looked 

 as though they had not a friend left in 

 the whole wide world. 



The statisticians assert that the 

 month of August has been better than 

 that of last year. The first three weeks 

 the sum total of sales ran well ahead 

 of that of August, ID-O, while the small 

 loss in the closing days of the month 

 were not sufficient seriously to affect 

 the result. The real trouble lies in the 

 supply. There was a tremendous in- 

 crease in roses, which was quite unex- 

 ]ieeteil, and a decided increase in gla- 

 <lioli and in asters. There was no in- 

 crease in business values; there was a 

 slight decline. The result was that the 

 good flowers sold at lower prices and 

 the poor flowers brought little or noth- 

 ing. 



At the City Club.

 rists' Olul) will be held Tuesday eve- 

 ning, Sejjtember (i, at 8 o'clock. Law-

Baseball. 



Kickmore, minus the services of Hof 

 ner, who h;id a sore hand, defeated Nies- 

 sen at Lansdowne, August 2;!. nftcr an 

 exciting contest, by a score of 12 to 11. 

 The line-up follows: 



The Independents defeated Kice Id 

 to 9 in seven innings at Belmont, Au- 

 gust 25. With the score C to against 

 them, Haverson, the Kice shortstop, 

 made a home run, bringing a runner in 

 ahead of him. This started things go- 

 ing. Kice, aided by errors, added six 

 more runs in following innings. Witli 

 the score 8 to 6 against them, the In- 

 dependents won the game in the sixth 

 by making four runs. Following is the 

 line-up:
