and around the beautiful estate of Mr. 

 Higinbotham. Arrived at the picnic 

 grounds which had been especially se- 

 lected for the occasion, lunch was spread, 

 during which ice cream and various 

 drinks were served by the committee. 

 The sports then began and much en- 

 joyment was derived, both by partici- 

 pants and spectators. Valuable prizes 

 were provided for the winners in each 

 event. P. J. Foley presented the prizes 

 and tried to get a number of the ladies 

 to make speeches, but they were too busy 

 comparing notes on their trophies. 



It was conceded by all who have at- 

 tended the club outings of the past to 

 be the most successful outing the club 

 has ever given. Everybody enjoyed 

 himself and much credit should be given 

 the entertainment committee for its hard 

 work in bringing about such a success- 

 ful aflfair. Also the thanks of the club 

 should be extended to Mr. Higinbotham 

 for his kind invitation to use his 

 grounds, and much credit is due Mr. 

 Hartshorne for the admirable arrange- 

 ments made. Just before the train 

 started for the return trip three cheers 

 were given for Mr. Hartshorne and they 

 were given with a will. 



The winners in the different events 

 were as follows: 



Basebnll game, Wholesalers, 19; Retailers, 10;

Various Notes. 



The superior court has reversed a 

 judgment of $1,500 against the Mount 

 Greenwood Cemetery. July 12, 1901, a 

 lady walking across-lots in the cemetery 

 .stepped into an open pipe and sustained 

 injuries for which she sued for damages. 

 The lower court found for her, but the 

 higher court sustained Mr. Eudd 's con- 



tention that any one departing from the 

 beaten paths does so at his own risk. 



J. E. Jensen has received word that 

 his partner, J. S. Dekema, has arrived 

 safely at his old home in Europe where 

 he will visit for a couple of months. 



Three local wholesalers and at least 



three local growers ride in their own 



automobiles. One of the gentlemen says 



he never has had the throttle on his 



.machine more than half open, which is 



We have taken 



for seven months and many times 

 have found things in it that pay for it 

 over and over. We can say that we 

 wouldn't get along without it now.

rather surprising in view of the fact 

 that he is a commission man, and com- 

 mission men may generally be counted 

 on to run things at full pressure. How- 

 ever, it may be said that at half speed 

 the machine is capable of doing a num- 

 ber of things to the legal limit. 



Sharp, Partridge & Co. have been do- 

 ing a fine business in greenhouse glass 

 this season and have been compelled to 

 seek larger quarters. They have re- 

 moved their warehouse to 2264 and 2272 

 Lumber street, where they have excep- 

 tional facilities for handling their trade. 

 They make a specialty of greenhouse 

 glass and Lester E. Partridge, who is 



widely known to the trade, says he is 

 more than satisfied with the season's 

 business. Glass factories have gone out 

 of blast for the season and Sharp, 

 Partridge & Co. take much pleasure in 

 the fact that they have 4,000 boxes of 

 greenhouse sizes still in the warehouse. 



Wietor Bros, are planting quite a 

 number of a new pink chrysanthemum 

 named Cash. It speaks for ready money 

 in October. 



Will Kyle of the J.'B. Deamud Co., 

 says that they have as yet felt no let-up 

 in the demand. 



F. C. Struvy returned a fortnight ago 

 from his trip to California. His daugh- 

 ter's wedding took place last week. 



E. E. Pieser says that although the 

 Xennicott Bros. Co. has more peonies 

 in storage than ever before at so late 

 a date, he never felt more confident of 

 a satisfactory clean-up. 



A. L. Bandall Co. is receiving its an- 

 nual crop of candidum lilies from L. 

 M. McClave, St. Joseph, Mich. The qual- 

 ity is superior. 



Kanson Kennicott fell down the ele- 

 vator shaft at the Western Cold Storage 

 warehouse one day last week. Fortun- 

 ately the fall was only a few feet, but 

 he has been laid up ever since. 



A. Kennicott & Son expect to be sold 

 out of peonies before the end of this 

 week. 



Matt Mann is sending some superior 

 Ivawson carnations to Zech & Mann. 

 His crop of red gladioli was unsatis- 

 factory again this year, about half com- 

 ing blind. 



StoUery Bros, are sending a large crop 

 of candidum lilies to the Chicago Kose 

 Co. , 



John Sinner and X. J. Wietor started 

 Tuesday evening for their fortnight's 

 piscatorial expedition. 



George Wagner, in speaking of the 

 falling off in the local retail trade, says 

 that people who formerly used flowers 

 for dinners, receptions, etc., are now 

 spending their time automobiling. 



Bassett & Washburn report an ex- 

 ceptionally good June, due to their large 

 cut of summer rose^, 



Weiland & Kisch are cutting some fine 

 Brides and Maids for summer. Mr.

 matism for a week.
