on the way. New York state will con- 

 tribute over 100 to the record crowd that 

 will overflow the city of wide streets 

 and proverbial hospitality. The steamer 

 trips from Cleveland to Buffalo and 

 Albany to New York, which the tickets 

 privilege, and the stopover at the Falls, 

 giving all an opportunity to visit 

 Toronto, all appeal to the eastern con- 

 ventionists and the interest grows daily 

 as the great reunion draws near. Only 

 two weeks from today and it will be 

 * ' all aboard ! ' ' Walter Sheridan is 

 booking berths rapidly now and delay 

 in securing accommodations is unwise, 

 especially by the fat men who find upper 

 berths unattractive. The crowd leaves 

 here at 2:04 p. m. Monday, August 20, 

 from the Grand Central depot. Forty- 

 second street, and 2:05 will be too late.

Ex-President Traendly has been gath- 

 ering strength for his oflBcial duties at 

 Dayton by daily recuperation at the sea- 

 shore, and is in fine condition for what- 

 ever may happen in August. 



A. Moltz is still in the mountains. 



J. J. Perkins' son manages the ex- 



press business of the house and three 

 tine horses have just been added to the 

 equipment. 



Max Limprecht is still alive, but there 

 is no hope of ultimate recovery. 

 , William Ford leaves next week for a

The severe illness of A. Warendorff 

 culminated in an operation for appen- 

 aicitis in Mt. Sinai hospital on Saturday

 Institute will be held September 25 to

 and 1904, and Madison Square Garden 

 are not available this year. 



Alex. McConnell sent some very hand- 

 some floral designs to the funeral of the 

 late Russell Sage. 



Some very handsome offerings from 

 city officials and the family were seen 

 at the funeral of the late James Weir, 

 Jr. on Saturday. Mr. Weir was born 

 in England in 1843, and has lived over 



sixty years in Brooklyn. In 1856 he 

 began the florists' business. He was a 

 member of many financial institutions 

 and social organizations, the F. & A. M. 

 and Shelter Island Yacht Club, the 

 Crescent Athletic and Staten Island 

 Yacht Club among them. He was an 

 alderman, member of the board of edu- 

 cation and of the general committee of 

 the democratic party. He was uni- 

 versally esteemed and had a wide circle 

 of friends who mourn his sudden death. 

 He was stricken at the helm of his yacht 

 during the races between the Rhode 

 Island, Hartford, Sachems Head and 

 Shelter Island Yacht clubs. The cause 

 of death was rupture of the blood ves- 

 sels of the heart. Mr. Weir leaves a 

 widow, a son and three daughters. The 

 flags of all vacation schools have been 

 placed at half mast. ^Ir. WVir's florist 

 business was one of the largest in the 

 east. It will be continued by his son.

The Market 



There is very little that is encourag- 

 ing to report about business conditions 

 in the cut flower market. The extremely 

 hot weather has had a bad effect both 

 on the quality of the flowers coming 

 into town and on the demand. Asters 

 are plentiful; the poorer ones can be 

 had at extraordinarily low figures in job 

 lots. This has had' an effect on the
