BUFFALO. 



Curretit G>mfflent. 



A long dry spell was broken on Fri- 

 day night, and glad everybody was, but 

 it did not cool the atmosphere, as ex- 

 pected. Sunday was blistering. The 

 weather man says only 84 degrees in the 

 shade. He is no fair recorder on top 

 of a 16-story building. Half-way to 

 Mars is not the temp'erature we are 

 called upon to endure. Perhaps there 

 may be a few who do not know the fair 

 circumstances to find the temperature 

 of the surface of the earth. It is to 

 hang the thermometer a few inches away 

 from the trunk of a tree, five feet above 

 the ground and over grass, of course in 

 the shade. It has been too warm to 

 do almost anything but eat ice cream 

 and mop yourself. 



Business? Don't talk about business I 

 W. J. Palmer has escaped for four 

 weeks. Good, sensible boy, he did not 

 leave his address, but I think it's 

 Algonquin Park, Ont., a natural wild 

 park, just east of Georgian bay, where 

 we have hunted and fished repeatedly in 

 our minds; a wild paradise for the 

 angler and hunter, but wisely preserved 

 by the Dominion government. The 

 trout and muscallonge stick their heads 

 out of the water and make faces at 

 you, and the deer, moose and caribou 

 insist on coming in to be milked with 

 the settlers' cows. What a country for 

 John Westcott, with his rod, and John 

 Burton, with his rifle. 



Speaking of sports, I notice in the 

 S. A. F. preliminary program published 

 in last week's Beview, there is no men- 

 tion of any shooting. This I protest 

 against. It is well known that Mr. 

 Altick is one of the best shots in the 

 society and could get up a shooting 

 tournament that would please many of 

 the most consers-ative and best men in 

 the society. Marksmanship with the shot- 

 gun is a test of nerve, coolness and 

 good behavior. It is bound to be held 

 among the green fields and pleasant sur- 

 roundings of the open air and not in the 

 superheated air of the bowling alley. 

 Bowling is a game where brawn counts 

 for more than brains, and is not nearly 

 BO entertaining for spectators as shoot- 

 ing. Besides, I have my poor old 

 hammer-gun cleaned up for the special 

 occasion, the same gun which crossed 

 the frozen Delaware behind Uucle 

 George in 1781. Pat O'Mara was ser- 

 geant of our company.

If Mr. Altick is the only florist 

 shooter of Dayton, let him be encour- 

 aged in every way to get up a tourna- 

 ment. No shooting, then cut out the 

 bowling. We can have a fine conven- 

 tion without either, but don't cater to 

 a lot of crazy kids and abolish the sport 

 of gentlemen. W. S. 



Madison, N. J. — The Morris County 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Society has is-

 vember 1 and 2. There are forty-five 

 classes of exhibits in which prizes are
