MILWAXTEEE CLUB PICNIC. 



The annual outing of the Milwaukee 

 Florists* Club took place Sunday, 

 August 1, at Keipper's park, Brown 

 Deer, Wis. There was an exceptionally 

 large turnout, as the day was an ideal 

 one, and all enjoyed themselves im- 

 mensely. There were games and con- 

 tests galore, and enthusiasm was kept 

 at a high pitch all through the day. 

 The club members did themselves proud 

 on this occasion, and their efforts made 

 the event the most successful in years. 



The first event was a baseball game 

 between the Cudahy Floral Co. and the 

 Holton & Hunkel Co. teams. F. H. 

 Holton handed out the decisions. The 

 Holton & Hunkel Co. boys won the 

 game bv a score of 17 to 1, and a cash 

 prize of $5. 



- Albert Hare was the busiest man on 

 the grounds, as he was the whole com- 

 mittee. The members appointed to 

 serve with him were out of town, and 

 the entire work devolved upon him. 

 He was ably assisted by Eugene Oest- 

 reicher, secretary of the club. Presi- 

 dent Wm. R. Schroeder promised a 



speech for the occasion, but it did not 

 materialize. 



Each child was presented with a 

 novel balloon, and soon it sounded like 

 the European war. for they began pop- 

 ping as soon as tney were distributed. 

 Everyone was decorated with a paper 

 hat, and all joined in for a good time. 



The line-ups of the baseball teams 

 were ati follows:
